Conversion instructions—LP Gas to Natural Gas
Your water heater was factory pre-set to burn natural gas but may have been converted to burn LP gas. If your water
heater has been converted to burn LP Gas, and your gas supply is now natural gas, your water heater can be converted to
burn natural 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.
