The gas conversion procedure should be accomplished BEFORE the boiler is installed. For a boiler already installed, you must turn off gas supply, turn off power, and allow the boiler to cool before proceeding. You must also completely test the boiler after conversion to verify performance as described under Start-up, Section 10 of this manual.

You must install the propane orifice to fire the Knight wall mount boiler on propane. Verify when installing that the orifice size marking matches boiler size (Table 2A). Failure to comply could result in severe personal injury, death, or substantial property damage.

7.Using an Allen wrench, remove the screws securing the gas pipe to the gas valve. Remove the gas valve venturi assembly from the unit (FIG. 2-3).

8.Using an Allen wrench, remove the venturi from the gas valve.

9.Locate the propane orifice disk from the conversion kit bag. Verify that the stamping on the orifice disk matches the boiler size (see Table 2A).

10.Place the orifice into the black rubber grommet in the side of the gas valve and secure inside the gas valve (see FIG. 2-3).

11.Reattach the venturi to the gas valve and reposition the gas valve venturi assembly inside the unit. Secure the venturi back to the gas valve (FIG. 2-3).

12.Reattach the gas pipe to the gas valve. Reattach the air intake and coupler and tighten down on the band clamp.
