Natural Gas Conversion Kit for
STAND MOUNTED BURNERS
** PLEASE READ THOROUGHLY PRIOR TO USE FOR IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
This kit includes a brass orifice for use with residential natural gas (6” of water pressure).
Assembly/Operation:
With your stand mounted burner you received a brass orifice with a small hole
sized for propane. The natural gas orifice included in this kit has a larger
(1/8” dia) hole for low pressure natural gas. The high pressure propane
orifice has a much smaller hole. To operate on natural gas, install the gas
orifice in lieu of the propane orifice per the burner manual. You must also
remove the propane regulator since it cannot be used on natural gas.
You may then pipe natural gas to the stand gas manifold using hard pipe or
flexible metal hose.
WARNING!
It is imperative that you install a separate gas shutoff valve at the gas
supply to the stand. The needle valves are intended for flow control ONLY and
are not designed to be a shutoff valves!
Use of a separate gas shutoff valve (not supplied) is MANDATORY.
