WARNING
Fire or Explosion Hazard.
Can cause serious injury, death or property
damage.
Follow these warnings exactly.
1. Disconnect power supply before wiring to prevent
electrical shock or equipment damage.
2. To avoid dangerous accumulation of fuel gas, turn
off gas supply at the appliance service valve before
starting installation, and perform Gas Leak Test
after completion of installation.
3. Do not bend pilot tubing at gas control or pilot
burner after compression fitting has been tightened.
Gas leakage at the connection may result.
4. Always install sediment trap in gas supply line to
prevent contamination of gas control.
5. Do not force the gas control knob. Use only your
hand to turn the gas control knob. Never use any
tools. If the gas control knob will not operate by
hand, the gas control should be replaced by a
qualified service technician. Force or attempted
repair may result in fire or explosion.
CAUTION
Equipment Damage Hazard.
Improper wiring can damage equipment.
Never apply a jumper across or short the valve coil
terminals. This may burn out the heat anticipator in the
thermostat.
IMPORTANT:
These gas controls are shipped with protective seals
over inlet and outlet tappings. Do not remove seals
until ready to connect piping.
Follow the appliance manufacturer’s instructions if available;
otherwise, use the instructions provided below.
Convert Between Natural and LP Gas
WARNING
Fire or Explosion Hazard.
Can cause serious injury, death or property
damage.
1. Do not use a gas control set for natural gas on an
LP gas system or a gas control set for LP gas on
natural gas system.
2. When making conversion, main pilot burner orifices
MUST be changed to meet appliance
manufacture’s specifications.
Standard- or slow-opening gas controls are converted from
one gas to another with a conversion kit. To convert from
natural gas to LP, use the 393691 LP Conversion Kit that is
included with the V8200 gas control. To convert from LP to
natural gas, use the 394588 Natural Gas Conversion Kit
(order separately). Step-opening gas controls can not be
converted.
To convert control from one gas to another:
1.
Turn off main gas supply to the appliance.
2.
Remove the regulator cap screw and pressure regulator
adjusting screw. See Fig. 2.
3.
Remove the existing spring.
4.
Insert the replacement spring with tapered end down.
See Fig. 3.
5.
Install the new plastic pressure regulator adjustment
screw so that the top of the screw is flush (level) with
the top of the regulator. Turn the pressure regulator
adjustment screw clockwise
eleven complete
turns. This provides a preliminary pressure setting
of about 10.0 in. wc (2.5 kPa) for LP regulator and
3.5 in. wc (0.9 kPa) for natural gas regulator.
6.
Check the regulator setting either with a manometer or
by clocking the gas meter. Refer to Startup and
Checkout.
7.
Install the new cap screw.
8.
Mount conversion label on control.
9.
Install control and appliance according to appliance
manufacturer’s instructions.
