Propane Conversion
WARNING
This conversion kit shall be installed by a qualified 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 fire,
explosion or production of carbon monoxide may result causing property damage,
personal injury or loss of life.
The qualified 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 specified in the manufacturer’s
instructions supplied with the kit.
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 confirm proper manifold pressure.
If the unit is to be used on propane convert as follows using the components
supplied with this burner:
Figure 25: Access panel.
- Remove rock set and sand if present.
- Remove right hand side panel if present.
- Remove all 10 screws from the Valve control center panel (Figure 25).
Figure 26: Connections at bulkhead.
- Disconnect the pilot gas supply line at the bulkhead (Figure 26). DO NOT disconnect the main gas supply line from the bulkhead.
Figure 27: Disconnecting flame sensor and ignition wires at inter-face module.
- Disconnect the flame sensor wire and the ignition wire from the interface module (Figure 27) and withdraw the wires back through the bulkhead plate and into the firebox area.

Figure 29: Underside of burner.
- Remove the 2 front and 1 rear screws holding the burner tray in place (Figure 28).
- Gently lift up the burner tray from its supports while sliding it to the left to disengage the burner tube from the orifice. Lift the tray, turn it on its side and lay it on its edge to expose the orifice and the pilot assembly (Figure 29). Remove the pilot assembly bracket with its wires and pilot gas line attached while the burner kit is on its side (See “Figure 33” on page 16).
- Using a 1/2” wrench, undo the natural gas burner orifice (Figure 29) and replace with the pro-pane gas orifice that comes with the conversion kit (Figure 30). Apply a small amount of pipe joint compound to the threads of the propane burner orifice to ensure a good seal, before screwing it into the fitting.

- Fill in the conversion label (Figure 37) . Peel off the protective backing and apply the conversion label directly over the gas specifications on the rating label. Rating label can be found on a metal plate stored on the left hand side of the fireplace, behind the decorative trim.
- Reattach the access cover, right hand enamel panel piece, burner tray, sand and rock set.
For complete valve installation instructions, refer to the instruction book included in the SIT conversion kit.
Gas Pressure Check
Note: To test the gas pressure, turn off the gas supply before removing
the plug from the sup-ply pressure test port or manifold pressure test port.
Verify gas pressures with the fireplace lit and on the highest setting.
- Remove the plug from the pressure test port. The plug is located between the right side lintel and firebox side (Figure 39).
- Thread the extension test fitting into the open port (Figure 40).
- Attach a pressure gauge onto the fitting.
- When testing is complete shut off the gas, remove the fitting and replace the plug. Thread sealant will be required to ensure a gas tight connection.

Figure 39: Adjusting manifold pressure.
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 flame and to eliminate carbon
deposits. Evaluate flame appearance after the fireplace has reached operating
temperature. See (Figure 42) for proper flame pattern.
Open primary air if the window glass and firebox have carbon accumulation
and/or the flames are long, dark and stringy. The shutter may also be opened
to lessen the flame height.
Figure 41: Desirable flame appearance.
NOTE:
Proper air shutter setting is required, fully closed for natural gas and half
open for propane.
The flame should be just orange and “lazy”. It should NEVER be set to create
sooting on internal parts and window glass.
