b. Set the control into low fire setting by quickly
pressing the Low Flame button twice.
c. The minimum rate can be set either by screwing
in a calibrated minimum rate screw (LP, fixed
orifice) or an adjustable minimum rate screw
(NG). For the NG adjustable rate screw, turn
the screw clockwise to decrease or counter-
clockwise to increase the minimum flow. Once
the Champlain has been converted to LP with
the fixed rate low flow orifice, the low rate is not
adjustable.
Changing the fuel type
Convertible regulators are designed to deliver either
of two fixed outlet pressures for Natural Gas (NG) or
LP Gas. To change from one gas to the other, turn
the outlet pressure screw housing
(see figure 21)
counter-clockwise to remove.
Be careful not to
engage the small flat slot on the screw itself but
use the larger slot of the screw housing to
remove the unit.
Unsnap and remove the plastic
part, rotate it 180°, and then slide it back on the
conversion plug until it snaps. Reinstall the
conversion plug by screwing it clockwise until it
bottoms out. The low pressure orifice must also be
changed (
see figure 22-27
, pages 24 -25).
NOTE: Do NOT adjust and/or alter any components
marked with tamper indicating paint.

Refer to Figures 21-27)
1. Remove the conversion plug from the valve
body.
2. Carefully and without turning the adjusting

the end of the pressure screw and remove it
from the shaft by gently pulling away from
the screw head.

.
4. Slide the conversion plug back on the
pressure screw shaft and gently push until is
clicks in place.

6. Loosen the valve mounting bracket front two
screws and swing the front of the valve
assembly down.
7. Using
a 4mm (5/32”) allen wrench, loosen
and remove the existing low pressure NG
screw by turning counter-clockwise until it
spins freely. It may be necessary to grasp
the screw head with your fingernails or
gently pry it free of the valve body with a
small flat blade screwdriver as the screw
has an o-ring at the top that may gently hold
it in the valve body even after fully loosening
(see figure 24).
