3.Turn brass elbow and main burner orifice counterclockwise to remove from burner. The orifice is threaded into the burner inlet. The elbow may have a slight resistance since the orifice has been sealed with RTV silicone. Use a 7/8" open end wrench or channel lock pliers for elbow and orifice removal.

4.Remove existing main burner orifice from brass elbow and replace with main burner orifice supplied with conversion kit. Note: The new main burner orifice will have the number 132 stamped on it for identification purposes. Apply a small amount of thread sealant to the orifice before tightening (see Figure 4). Sealant must be resistant to Propane/LP gas.

5.Remove the burner by loosening the two 5/16" hex mounting screws (see Figure 3). Lift burner up and out.

6.Convert the pilot burner by changing out the pilot orifice. Remove the compression nut and compression sleeve from the pilot. Remove the pilot orifice from inside the pilot barrel (see Figure 5). Replace with the pilot orifice supplied with this kit. Note: The new pilot orifice has the number 30 stamped on it for identification purposes.

7.Place open end of pilot orifice on top of compression sleeve and carefully slide up inside pilot burner. Tighten compression nut (see Figure 5).

IMPORTANT: Be careful not to bend or kink aluminum tubing during conversion. Make sure the compression sleeve and pilot orifice are properly mated and aligned before retightening the compression nut.
