1.0INTRODUCTION

The twin-fuel option for the Patterson-Kelley Gem- ini™ gas-fired boiler allows the boiler to be fired by propane in the event that the supply of natural gas is temporarily interrupted or restricted. The necessary fittings, valves, piping, and controls for twin-fuel op- eration are factory installed.

Owner’s Manual - TBIG” for the standard Thermific￿ boiler. Both documents must be used together. This companion document describes those safety, installa- tion, adjustment, and maintenance procedures which differ from the single-fuel model. Information which applies to both models is found in the main manual.
