Prepare for propane operation
Do not apply the following to conversion of a boiler already
installed and connected to gas supply. For a boiler already installed,
you must turn off gas supply, turn off power and allow boiler to
cool before proceeding. You must also completely test the boiler
after conversion to verify performance as described under
“Startup,” Section 6 of this manual. See separate natural to
propane conversion instructions for conversion of an existing
boiler.
You must install the propane orifice to fire the Ultra boiler on
propane. Verify when installing that the orifice size marking
matches boiler size. Failure to comply could result in severe
personal injury, death or substantial property damage.
1. With boiler on its back, remove jacket front door by removing two knurled
head screws at lower front. Then lift door away from boiler.
2. Disconnect the gas valve electrical plug.
3. Remove the 4 screws securing gas valve inlet adapter to valve.
4. Remove (3) TORX screws securing gas valve to venturi (Figure 2).
5. Locate propane orifice disc from conversion kit bag. Verify that the stamping
on the orifice disk matches the boiler size. Place orifice in the black rubber
grommet in the side of the gas valve and secure in valve (Figure 2).
6. Reposition gas valve against venturi and replace (3) TORX screws securing
valve to venturi. Secure gas valve inlet adapter to gas valve with 4 screws.
Make sure the plastic hose is connected from gas valve to inlet elbow.
Inspect the O-ring between the gas valve and gas valve inlet
adapter block whenever they are disassembled. The O-ring must
be in good condition and must be installed. Failure to comply
will cause a gas leak, resulting in severe personal injury or death.
7. DO NOT attempt to adjust gas valve outlet pressure.
8. Connect gas valve electrical plug to valve terminals.
9. After installation is complete, attach the propane conversion label (in
conversion kit bag) next to the boiler rating plate.
10. Replace jacket front panel.
