Raypak propane/NG heater Question

[qquban]

I recently bought a heater, I did see it has the Propane Tab broken off. However I am planning on using it for NG how would I go about changing it back to NG any suggestions, or is this equipment prepared to run on both NG and Propane?

You need to install NG orifices and a NG gas valve.

With the tab broken off you may not always get a reliable start since the board will only try to start once instead of three times.

would you suggest to also purchase a new board? that doesn't have the propane tab or once I SWITCH the NG orifices and NG gas valve would that be enough for the board to recognize that is NG and try and restart 3 times as opposed to one? Thank you for your response, in addition I have been searching online do you know a website to get the NG gas Valve and Orifice from?

You will need a new gas valve (about $200 - $250), not a conversion kit (those are for millivolt heaters only), all new gas orifices (+/- $6.00 each), and a new pilot burner assembly (+/- $65.00, they have the NG orifice installed in them). If you can live with it, you can use the same board, but it will lock-out on ignition failure after one try requiring a power-down reset.
