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.

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.
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 off before proceeding
with the conversion.
Note:
Factory supplied components must be used
to ensure correct input. After conversion
conrm proper manifold pressure.
1. Ensure the burner, pilot and gas
supply are turned off, and the
appliance has cooled.
2. Using a 1/2” wrench, undo the natural gas
burner orice, (marked #25). (Fig. #20)
3. Apply a small amount of pipe joint com-
pound to the threads of the propane
burner orice (marked 3/32”) to ensure
a good seal, before screwing it into the
tting.
4. Open primary air shutter fully.
5. With a 7/16” wrench loosen the pilot head
on the pilot assembly (Fig. #21)

8. Remove the minimum rate screw located
in the valve. (Fig. #25)
9. Replace the minimum rate screw with the
one provided in the propane conversion
kit supplied with this burner. Ensure that
the screw is fully installed. (Fig. #26)
The minimum rate screw is sealed with
an o-ring. Use a thin bladed screwdriver
to back the screw out to the limit of the
threads.
A groove on the screw body will be
visibe just above the valve body.Insert a
thin tool (knife blade or thin screwdriver
blade) into the groove and gently pry
the screw up.
It helps to rotate the screw while
lifting on it.

Note: To test the gas pressure, turn off 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. #29)
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. #30)
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.
Gas Pressure Check
12) Fill in the date and the name of the
person who performed the conversion
in the white area on the conversion
label. Peel off the protective backing and
apply the conversion label directly over
the gas specications on the rating label.
13) Attach the access panel to the side of
the rebox with the previously removed
screws.
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.
#31 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 off the replace and allow the unit to cool
before proceeding.
To adjust: (See Fig. #32)
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.
