10. Apply pipe sealant to threads and reinstall the new
Orifice to the 12.7mm (1/2”) pipe. Replace with the
appropriate orifice for the new gas type (Refer to
Table 1).
NOTE: Ensure the tapered portion of the Orifice points
straight upward when installed to the Gas Valve
Assembly.
NOTE: Extra care should be taken to avoid turning the
pipe too far into the orifice. The pipe should not
restrict gas flow through the orifice. A drill bit may be
used as a stop-guide if placed down through the
Orifice opening while threading the Orifice onto the
pipe. When the Orifice is properly threaded onto the
pipe, remove the drill bit from the Orifice opening and
ensure the drill bit is removed before continuing
assembly.
11. Place the Gas Valve assembly with the Orifice inside
the Burner and allow the Gas Valve to rest in the
support bracket.
12. Install the machine screw thru the cabinet bottom and
into the bottom of the Orifice. Tighten securely.
13. Apply pipe sealant to the threads and snugly reinstall
the ball valve, elbow, and 19mm (¾”) M-to-M Pipe to
the Gas Valve.
14. Reconnect the wires to the Gas Valve assembly and
ensure the wires are connected to the proper
terminals.
15. Apply pipe sealant to the threads of the Ball Valve
and connect the gas supply hose.
16. Turn the main gas supply ON.
17. Turn the Ball Valve to the ON position.
18. Check for gas leaks. (A soap and water mixture
works well.) Allow all areas to completely dry.
19. Connect the heater to the power source.
