Conversion instructions—Natural Gas to LP Gas
If your gas supply is LP gas, your water heater can be converted to burn LP gas as follows:
WARNING: This conversion kit must be installed by
a qualified installer or service technician in accordance
with these instructions. Installation must conform with
local codes, or in their absence, with the latest edition of
the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.
Failure to follow instructions could result in serious
injury or property damage. The qualified agency
performing this work assumes responsibility for this
conversion.
CAUTION: The water heater is factory set to burn
natural gas, but can be converted to burn LP gas.
Before placing the water heater into operation, verify
that the type of gas supplied to your water heater and
the type of gas your water heater is set to burn are the
same. If they are not, refer to these instructions.
NOTICE: The parts required to make this conversion
are supplied in a bag attached to the water heater.
Should your heater not have this bag attached to the
water heater, a replacement can be obtained. Simply
contact the manufacturer at the address below and
request a replacement conversion kit.
