After the gas piping to the unit is complete, all connections
must be tested for gas leaks. This includes pipe connections
at the main gas valve, emergency shutoff valve and
other gas connectors. A soap and water solution can be
applied on each joint or union using a small paintbrush.
If any bubbling is observed, the connection is not sealed
adequately and must be retightened. Repeat the tightening
and soap check process until bubbling ceases.

High Altitude Conversion
Conversion of this unit must be performed by qualified
service personnel, using only approved parts. All
installations must be made in accordance with the National
Fuel Gas Code and/or local jurisdiction codes.
High altitude conversion can be field performed by a simple
adjustment of manifold pressure or a change of the orifices
(if necessary) depending on type of gas being utilized. The
changes required depend on the installation altitude and
the heating value of the gas (based on sea level) which
can be obtained from your local gas utility. The heating
value of gas at high altitude is always lower than the sea
level heating value. The heating values listed in Table 5
& Table 6, (page 16) are based on sea level values.
WARNING:
Thereductionofinputratingnecessaryforhigh
altitude installation may only be accomplished
withfactorysuppliedorices.Donotattemptto
drill out orifices in the field. Improperly drilled
orifices may cause fire, explosion, carbon
monoxidepoisoning,personalinjuryordeath.
If installing this unit above 2,000 feet, the input rate must
bereduced4%per1,000feetofaltitude(Example:12%
at 3,000 feet, 16% at 4,000 feet, etc). NOTE: Deration is
necessary to compensate for low atmospheric pressure
at high altitudes.
For altitudes between 5,000 and 10,000 feet above sea
level, the unit can be converted by adjusting the furnace
manifold pressure. See Table 5 for the correct manifold
pressure settings when using natural gas.
LP/Propane Gas Conversion
WARNING:
Thisunit was equipped at the factoryforuse
with natural gas only. A special kit, supplied by
themanufacturer,isrequiredtoconverttheunit
to operate on LP/propane gas. Failure to use the
properconversionkitcancausere,explosion,
propertydamage,carbonmonoxidepoisoning,
personal injury, or death.
MPORTANT NOTE:
WhenconvertingthislowNOxunitfromnaturalgas
to propane (LP) gas, it is necessary to remove the
NOxbafes.
Conversion of this equipment to LP/Propane gas must
be made by qualified service personnel, using approved
factory parts. Conversion to LP can be accomplished by
replacing the natural gas orifices with the appropriate LP/
Propane orifices and then adjusting the manifold pressure
(page 18). Conversion to LP/Propane (sea level and high
altitude) is detailed in the installation instructions provided
with the conversion kit. Pleasefollowtheinstructions
provided in each kit. Approvedconversionkitsare:

the United States at altitudes between zero and 10,000
ft. above sea level.
• The CanadianLP/PropaneGas SeaLevel andHigh
AltitudeConversionKitisforLP/propaneconversions
in Canada at altitudes between zero and 4,500 ft. above
sea level.
For installations between zero and 4,999 ft. above sea
level, a #55 drill size orifice should be used. Installations
5,000 ft. above sea level require a #56 drill size orifice.
Table 6, (page 16) lists the correct orifice size to use
at different altitudes.
After changing the orifices, it is required that you measure
the gas input rate by clocking the gas meter and using
the local gas heating value. See Verifying & Adjusting the
Firing Rate section on page 18.
