PROPANE GAS
Pipe Sizing - Propane Gas
The unit was shipped with a propane con-
version kit which is located on the top of
the unit in the instructions packet. This kit
includes all the necessary parts and
instruction to perform the conversion
from natural to propane gas. If this con-
version kit is missing, please contact ACV-
Triangle Tube Technical Support before
installing unit for missing kit.
Prior to start up, ensure the appliance is
set to fire propane. Check the rating label
for the type of fuel. Check the gas valve for
propane conversion label. If there is a con-
flict or doubt on the burner set up, remove
the gas valve and check for the propane
orifice, see Fig. 15, failure to ensure prop-
er burner setup could result in severe per-
sonal injury, death or substantial proper-
ty damage.
Contact the local propane gas supplier for rec-
ommended sizing of piping, tanks and 100%
lockup gas regulator.
Propane Gas Supply Pressure Requirements
1. Adjust the propane supply regulator pro-
vided by the gas supplier for 13”w.c. [32
mbar] maximum pressure
2. Pressure required at the gas valve inlet sup-
ply pressure port:
- Maximum 13”w.c. [32 mbar] at flow or
no flow conditions to the burner
- Minimum 5”w.c. [13 mbar] during flow con-
ditions to the burner. Must be verified during
start up and with all other gas appliances
operating within the gas piping service.
- Maximum gas inlet pressure must not be
excceded and minimum gas inlet pressure
is for the purpose of input adjustment.
DO NOT adjust or attempt to measure gas
valve outlet pressure. The gas valve is fac-
tory-set for the correct outlet pressure.
This setting is suitable for natural gas and
propane and requires no field adjustment.
Attempts by the installer to adjust or mea-
sure the gas valve outlet pressure could
result in damage to the valve, causing
potential severe personal injury, death or
substantial property damage.
