The Gas Orifice can be paired with any of HPC’s technology available in Match Lit, Spark Ignition, Electronic Ignition, Bluetooth, and Home Automation. HPC thought of everything making the technology available in 3 sizes: 3/8”, ½”, and ¾”; suiting all needs allowing the technology to be paired with fire appliances ranging from 65K to over 400k BTUs.
Gas Conversion 3 Step Process:
Converting your appliance to a different fuel source is an easy process with UGO. Start by turning off the gas supply. Next, loosen the set screw located on the collar of the orifice. Then, rotate the collar to open the Propane/LP Venturi openings. Once aligned, retighten the set screw. Next, with a flat head screwdriver rotate the orifice ¼ turn to LP position. Lastly, turn the gas line back on the integrated air mixer. This process can be repeated to convert to Natural Gas. For more details about the conversion process check out HPC’s How To video, created by our very own in-house expert, Chuck Parsons HPC’s Training and Education Manager.
