PERATION
 
 
Natural gas and propane are permanently piped to 
separate connections on the boiler.  Each branch of the 
gas train is fitted with a regulator and a motorized gas 
valve.  The regulators are adjusted to properly fire the 
boiler from their respective sources.  Boiler and con-
trol functions are the same for both fuels.   
In the event of interruption or restriction of the natural 
gas supply, changeover to propane is made manually 
by a selector switch on the boiler (or by a signal from 
a remote switch or controller).    
When the natural gas supply is reestablished, change-
over is made by restoring the selector switch to its 
normal position (or by sending the appropriate signal 
from the remote controller).
