Propane/LP Gas Conversion
To convert to propane/LP gas, the burner inlet fitting and pilot orifice
must be replaced. The propane/LP burner inlet fitting is supplied with the
orifice installed for a 24" log set. If you have an 18" or 30" set, you must
change this orifice also. See Figure 1, page 3 for product identification.
Burner Inlet Fitting
1.
Remove the burner inlet fitting from the burner pan assembly.
DO NOT remove the orifice from this fitting. The propane/LP
burner inlet fitting is included in the hardware kit (see Figure 13).
2.
Be sure to use the correct orifice for your appliance. The hard-
ware kit included with this appliance contains two orifices with
a cone-like shape. If you have an 18" set, the orifice for the
burner inlet fitting is red; for a 30" set, it is black. If you have a
24" log set, the orifice is already installed inside the fitting.
3.
For an 18" or 30" set, use a 10 mm socket or nut driver to
remove the orifice from the propane/LP burner inlet fitting.
Choose the correct orifice for your log set size and install in
place of the orifice you just removed.

Changing Pilot Orifice
The pilot is provided with a natural gas orifice installed. For
propane/LP gas you must remove it and replace it with an propane/LP
orifice. The hardware kit contains an propane/LP orifice with a red
stripe for converting the pilot.
1.
Gently loosen and remove the pilot line connection from the
bracket (see Figure 15).
2.
Replace the injector (see Figure 15) with the propane/LP pilot
injector with the red stripe.
3.
Replace and tighten the pilot line to the bracket.
4.
Continue with step 3 under Natural Gas Installation, page 7.
INSTALLATION
Optional GA5050A-1 ON/OFF Safety Valve/Pilot Kit Assembly (Cont.)
10. Install thermocouple, pilot, and ignitor onto valve cover as shown
in Figure 12. Use the provided screws.
11. Push the control rod extension onto the “D” shaped control rod
through the center hole in the cover.
12. Install the position decal and control knob making sure to align
the marks with the correct stop positions of the gas control.
Pilot position will allow the knob to push in about 1/2". Align
the decals in the pilot position.
Note:
Pilot valve adjustment screw may need to be opened. See
Inspecting Burners, page 11 for instructions.

Pilot Flow Adjustment
After installation is complete and the unit has been ignited, it may be
necessary to adjust the pilot. Use a small flat-head screwdriver to turn
the flow adjustment screw on the manual control valve (see Figure 16).
Turn the screw counterclockwise to allow more gas to flow or clock-
wise to restrict gas flow. Be careful to limit the turns to 2
1
/
2
from the fully
closed position. Further turning can result in gas leaking at the adjust-
ment screw and the pilot flame size will diminish. The proper pilot flow
will result in a strong blue flame between 1/2" and 1" long.

4.
Using thread sealant (resistant to the action of propane/LP gas)
on larger end of fitting, screw the burner inlet fitting through
hole and into burner manifold. Tighten using a wrench.
