Black Diamond Burner Installation
NOTE: For the purposes of these
instructions the controls and gas
connections are on the right hand
side of the unit.
Remove porcelain panels if they
are installed.
1. Position the air channel insert into
the air channel. (Fig. #2)
2. Remove the panel retainer clip
located on the upper heat shield,
install the left panel securing with
panel retainer clip previously
removed.
(Fig. #3)
3. Attach the manifold assembly to the
oor of the rebox using two screws.
Seal the remaining holes in the oor
of the replace with screws. (Fig. #4).
4. Connect the manifold ex gas line
and pilot ex gas line to the bulkhead
ensuring a gas-tight connection.

5. Connect the pilot electrical leads to
the bulkhead. The orange ignitor wire
goes to the connector at the rear of
the bulkhead (marked with an red dot
Fig. #5).
NOTE: If converting to propane fuel
refer to page 9 before continuing.
6. Attach the inlet cover using the top
screw of the bulkhead (Fig. #6).
Install the right porcelain panel (as in
Fig. #3).
7. Position the right burner shield over
the inlet cover ensuring that the pilot
assembly is protruding through the
half-hole between the inlet cover and
the right burner shield (Fig. #7).

shield install the rear burner shield,
resting the edge of the right burner
shield onto the support tab of the rear
burner shield (Fig. #8).
10. Install the front burner shield
positioning the support tab under the
right burner shield (Fig. #9).

15. Position the other at the front of the
tray (Fig. #15).
16. Loosen the screw on the burner
tube shutter enough to allow smooth
movement from open to closed
positions (visible in Fig. #17).
14. Install the burner tube by tipping the
inlet into the slot in the bottom of the
burner tray (Fig. #16).
15. Hold the burner tube in a position so
that the shutter control rod can be
inserted into the shutter tab (Fig. #17)
after passing through the rod hole in
the top right corner of the front burner
shield. (See Fig. #33).
16. Set the burner tube into place
ensuring that it slips over the orice
on the manifold assembly. Align the
attachment holes line up with the
holes in the tray.
NOTE: Shutter must be fully open
for propane or fully closed for
natural gas (push down on the
shutter control rod to open, pull up
to close). Some adjustment may
be required (see page 13).

17. Position the center media spacer
on the inside of the burner tube and
attach using two long screws (Fig.
#18).
18. Empty the contents of the supplied
tumbled glass bag onto the burner
tray (Fig. #19) and spread the glass
evenly over top of the tube and
media spacers (Fig. #20).

WARNING
This conversion kit shall be
installed by a qualied service
agency in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions and all
applicable codes and requirements
of the authority having jurisdiction.
If the information in these
instructions is not followed exactly,
a re, explosion or production
of carbon monoxide may result
causing property damage, personal
injury or loss of life. The qualied
service agency is responsible for
the proper installation of this kit.
The installation is not proper and
complete until the operation of the
converted appliance is checked
as specied in the manufacturer's
instructions supplied with the kit.
Propane Conversion
If the unit is to be used on propane
convert as follows using the
components supplied with this
replace:
CAUTION
The gas supply and electrical power
shall be shut o before proceeding
with the conversion.
Remove the #25 orice from the
manifold assembly with a 1/2”wrench
(Fig. #21).
Use a small amount of pipe thread
compound to the threads of the 3/32”
orice to ensure a good seal before
threading into the manifold assembly.
Open the shutter fully.
Using a 7/16” wrench loosen the pilot
head on the pilot assembly.
Slide the pilot adjustment plate over
and ensure that the hole in the plate is
showing (Fig. #23 indicates NG position,
Fig. #24 indicates LP position).

13) Remove access panel, 10 screws,
and set aside (Seen in Fig. #29).
14) Remove the minimum rate screw
located in the valve. (Fig. #25)
The minimum rate screw is sealed with
an o-ring near the bottom of the screw.
Use a thin bladed screwdriver to back the
screw out past the limit of the threading.
At this point a groove on the screw body
will be visible just above the valve body.
Insert a thin tool (knife blade or ne
screwdriver blade) into the groove and
gently pry the screw up. It helps to rotate
the screw while lifting on it.
15) Replace the minimum rate screw
with the one provided in the propane
conversion kit supplied with this
replace. Ensure that the screw is
fully installed. (Fig. #26)

16) Pull o the rubber cap from the top of
the pressure regulator. (Fig. #27)
17) Press down on the center post and
rotate 90°. The center post should
stay down. (Fig. #28). Replace the
rubber cap.
18) Fill in the date and the name of
the person who performed the
conversion in the white area on
the conversion label. Peel o the
protective backing and apply the
conversion label directly over the gas
specications on the rating label.

Note: To test the gas pressure, turn o the gas
supply before removing the blanking plug from the
pressure test port. Verify gas pressures with the
replace lit and on the highest setting.
1) Remove the blanking plug from the pressure test
port. The plug is located between the right side
lintel and rebox side. (Fig. #30)
CORRECT GAS PRESSURE REQUIREMENT:
Supply Pressure Natural Gas Propane
(For purpose of input adjustment)
Minimum 5.0” wc 12.5” wc
Maximum 13.9” wc 13.9” wc
Manifold pressure
Maximum 3.8” wc 11.0” wc
Minimum 2.1” wc 5.5” wc
2) Thread the extension test tting into the open port.
(Fig. #31)
3) Attach a pressure gauge onto the tting.
4) When testing is complete shut of the gas, remove
the tting and replace the plug. Thread sealant will
be required to ensure a gas tight connection.
19) Attach the access panel to the side
of the rebox with the previously
removed screws. (Fig. #29)
Note: Gasket must be installed
with access panel.

Burner Flame Adjustment
The air shutter on the burner tube controls the primary
combustion air. It is set to the closed position at the
factory for natural gas fuel. Some adjustment may be
necessary to obtain desired ame and to eliminate
carbon deposits. Evaluate ame appearance after the
replace has reached operating temperature. See Fig.
#32 for proper ame pattern.
Open primary air if the window glass and rebox have
carbon accumulation and/or the ames are long, dark
and stringy. The shutter may also be opened to lessen
the ame height.
CAUTION:
Burner area may be hot!
Turn o the replace and allow the unit to cool
before proceeding.
To adjust: (See Fig. #33)
Push the shutter control rod to increase the amount of
primary air to create a more blue ame.
Pull the shutter to decrease the amount of primary air to
create a more yellow ame.
NOTE:
Proper air shutter setting is required.
The ame should be just orange and“lazy”. It
should NEVER be set to create sooting on internal
parts and window glass.
