HAZARD INTENSITY LEVELS
1. DANGER: Failure to comply will result in severe personal injury or death
and/or property damage.
2. WARNING: Failure to comply could result in severe personal injury or
death and/or property damage.
3. CAUTION: Failure to comply could result in minor personal injury and/or
property damage.
DANGER: The gas burner in this gas-red equipment is
designed and equipped to provide safe and economically
controlled complete combustion. However, if the installation
does not permit the burner to receive the proper supply of
combustion air, complete combustion may not occur. The result
is incomplete combustion which produces carbon monoxide, a
poisonous gas that can cause death. Safe operation of indirect-
red gas burning equipment requires a properly operating vent
system which vents all ue products to the outside atmosphere.
FAILURE TO PROVIDE PROPER VENTING WILL RESULT IN A
HEALTH HAZARD WHICH COULD CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL
INJURY OR DEATH.
Always comply with the combustion air requirements in the
installation codes and instructions. Combustion air at the burner
should be regulated only by manufacturer-provided equipment.
NEVER RESTRICT OR OTHERWISE ALTER THE SUPPLY OF
COMBUSTION AIR TO ANY HEATER. Indoor units installed in
a conned space must be supplied with air for combustion
as required by Code and in the heater installation manual.
MAINTAIN THE VENT SYSTEM IN STRUCTURALLY SOUND AND
PROPERLY OPERATING CONDITION.
Description and
Kit Selection
The gas conversion kits in these instructions are for a Model F, FE, B, or BE heater
equipped with a single-stage valve.
In order to determine which conversion kit is compatible to your heater, it is neces-
sary to know the type of valve that is on the heater. From the rating plate, copy the
complete Model No. of the heater. Also, copy the manufacturer's number on the
gas valve.

1. Verify Kit Selection - Check to be certain that the gas conversion kit is the
appropriate kit for the unit being converted.
IMPORTANT: Compare the actual Model No. on the valve to those listed for the kit.
If actual Model No. is different from the ones listed, do not install the kit. Contact
your Reznor Representative to select and verify parts required for gas conversion.
2. Additional Parts May Be Required - If you are converting to propane, and
your heater is a Size 130-400 equipped with optional stainless steel burn-
ers, it is necessary to order and install burner air shutters. (Air shutters may be
used on aluminized burners but are not normally required.) A list of burner air
shutter part numbers can be found on page 8. Air shutters are not included
in the conversion kits and must be ordered separately.
3. Turn off the gas supply at the shutoff valve upstream of the control valve on
the heater and disconnect the electrical power.
4. Install the Regulator Spring Kit or Change the Valve
To install a regulator spring kit, follow the valve manufacturer's installation
instructions that are included with the regulator spring kit. After a new regulator
spring kit is installed, it is necessary to adjust the spring for the correct mani-
fold pressure. This adjustment can only be made after the heater is in opera-
tion. Instructions are included in Step No. 12 of the installation instructions.
WARNING: Manufacturer of regulator spring kit and gas valve
must be the same. Spring kits of different manufacturers are not
interchangeable, and each spring kit must be used only in the
valve for which the kit is designated.
To change the valve, rst mark the wires before removing them from the exist-
ing valve. Consult the valve manufacturer's instruction sheet for installation
details and install the new valve. Field-supplied ttings may be required. If the
heater is equipped with an ECO device, be certain to connect it (applies to
Models F and B with match-lit pilot and all models with spark pilot manufac-
tured prior to approximately 8/99; check the wiring diagram).

(1) Disconnect the pilot tubing from the pilot burner.
(2) For match-lit (standing) pilot, disconnect the thermocouple from the valve.
(3) For spark pilot, disconnect the ame sensing wire and high tension
(spark) lead from the ignition controller.
c) Heaters manufactured beginning 8/91 (Serial No. Date Code AQH) - While
supporting the burner rack, remove the screws (two or three) that hold the
indexed burner rack support. Remove the support, allowing the burner rack
assembly to swing down. Lift up on the rear and slide the burner assembly up
and out of the manifold support brackets.
Heaters manufactured prior to 8/91 - Loosen the sheetmetal screws (two or
three) located at the front of the burner rack assembly. (These screws retain the
burner rack support.) While supporting the burner rack assembly, slide the burner
rack support and remove it from the screws. Allow the burner rack assembly to
swing down. Lift up on the rear and slide the burner assembly up and out of the
manifold support brackets.
d) Remove the pilot from the burner rack and install the new pilot orice. Re-
install the pilot burner on the burner rack. On units equipped with a pilot shield,
be certain that the pilot shield is in place when replacing the pilot burner.
6. Remove Air Bafe (if applicable)
If you are converting from natural to propane, you may have to remove a fac-
tory-installed air bafe from the burner rack. Look at the burner rack that you
have just removed to see if it is equipped with one of the air bafes illustrated
in FIGURE 2. Not all heaters are equipped with an air bafe. If your burner
rack is factory-equipped with either of these air bafes, remove the air bafe
before converting to propane. Refer to FIGURE 2 showing which screws to
remove.

Form CP-F/B-GC, P/N 99279 Rev 8, Page 5
8. Install Burner Air Shutters (if required)
Burner air shutters are required on Sizes 130-400 models equipped with
optional stainless steel burners for use with propane gas. Air shutters may be
used on aluminized burners but are not normally required.
Refer to the instructions included with the air shutter assembly for installation
and adjustment.
DANGER: Failure to install and adjust burner air shutters
according to directions could cause property damage, personal
injury and/or death.
9. Re-Assemble the Heater
Reverse the above procedure to re-assemble the heater. Be certain that the
burner rack is properly positioned and tight against the heat exchanger. If your
conversion requires changing the ignition controller, do not re-connect the
ame sensing wire and the high tension lead to the ignition controller.
Do not replace the bottom panel.
10. Change the Ignition Controller (if required) (Included in all natural to
propane conversion kits)
If your conversion requires an ignition controller with 100% lockout, the ignition
controller with new wires and a new wiring diagram are included in the conver-
sion kit.
a) On the rear of the heater, locate the ignition controller. Disconnect the spark wire from
the spike on the controller. Leave all other wires connected to the ignition controller;
follow the wires and disconnect them from their various connections. Remove the igni-
tion controller and attached wires.
b) In the same location, attach the ignition controller mounting bracket to the heater using
the #10x3/8" long screws included in the kit. With the ignition controller positioned so
that the terminals are across the bottom, attach it to the mounting bracket using the
#8x3/8" long screws.
c) Refer to the new wiring diagram label in the kit and connect the wires.
All of the wires are connected to the ignition controller at the factory except to the "TH"
Terminal. Attach the loose black wire in the kit to the "TH" terminal and connect it to the
limit control. (The yellow wire in the kit will not be used.)
d) Select a location near the current wiring diagram on the unit to adhere the wiring label.
Do not put the label on a surface that will be hot when the heater is operating and do
not put it over the existing wiring diagram. Wipe the selected area with a clean dry
cloth. Peel the backing and adhere the new label.
11. Turn on the electric and the gas. Relight, following the instructions on the
heater. Check for gas leaks using a commercial leak detecting uid or a rich
soap and water solution. Leaks are indicated by the presence of bubbles.
Check all connections which were worked on during the conversion including
the pilot connections. If a leak cannot be stopped by tightening, replace the
part.
Observe the pilot ame through the lighting hole. The ame should extend 1/2
to 1 inch past the ame sensing device (See FIGURE 4).
Flame Sensor or
Thermocouple
To adjust the pilot ame :
1) Remove the pilot adjustment cover
screw on the valve.
2) Turn the inner adjustment screw

12. Adjust the manifold pressure. Follow these requirements and instructions
to adjust manifold gas pressure.
1) The correct pressure adjustment depends on the area of the country in
terms of elevation. If you don't know the elevation, check with your local gas
company.
2) Determine the required manifold pressure for that elevation.

7001-8000 2136-2440 1.7 4.6
8001-9000 2441-2745 1.5 4.1
3) With the manual valve positioned to prevent ow to the main burners, con-
nect a manometer to the 1/8" pipe outlet pressure tap in the valve. Use a
water column manometer that is readable to the nearest tenth of an inch.
NOTE: A manometer (uid-lled gauge) is recommended rather than a
spring type gauge due to the difculty of maintaining calibration of a spring
type gauge.
4) Remove the cap from the pressure adjusting screw and adjust the manifold
pressure to the pressure selected from the table above. Cycle the main
burners once or twice to properly seat the adjustment spring in the valve.
5) Measure the manifold pressure. If adjustment is necessary, correct pres-
sure setting by turning the regulator screw IN (clockwise) to increase pres-
sure. Turn regulator screw OUT (counterclockwise) to decrease pressure.
When the pressure is correct, remove the manometer and replace the cap.
Check for leaks at the pressure tap tting.
CAUTION: DO NOT bottom out the gas valve regulator adjusting
screw. This can result in unregulated manifold pressure causing
excess overre and heat exchanger failure.
WARNING: Manifold gas pressure must never exceed 3.5" w.c.
for natural gas or 10" w.c. for propane gas.
6) With the heater operating, determine that the inlet pressure to the heater is
between 5 and 14 inches w.c. for natural gas or between 11 and 14 inches
w.c. for propane gas. Take this reading as close as possible to the heater.
(Most heaters are equipped with gas valves that have an inlet pressure
tap.) If the inlet pressure is not within the specied range, the inlet pressure
must be corrected and the manifold pressure re-checked.
7) If the gas valve has been adjusted for operation above 2000 ft, nd the high
altitude manifold pressure label in the kit. Using a permanent marker, ll-in
the pressure setting and adhere the label to the heater in a conspicuous
location close to the gas valve.
WARNING: Wait at least ve minutes before attempting to relight
heater in the event of pilot outage or improper ignition.
