Reznor 179317 Kit

The Reznor 179317 is an essential OEM Natural Gas to Propane (LP) conversion kit specifically engineered for high-efficiency fuel transitions in Reznor FT and SFT series unit heaters. Designed for 100, 125, and 200 model sizes, this kit allows contractors to adapt gas-fired units for use in locations where natural gas infrastructure is unavailable. As a veteran-grade HVAC fuel conversion solution, it includes precision-drilled burner orifices, a high-pressure regulator spring kit, and required gas valve conversion components to maintain stoichiometric combustion ratios. Utilizing a Reznor OEM part ensures that the unit's manifold pressure remains within 10.0" w.c. for LP operation, preventing the common safety hazards associated with non-compliant aftermarket kits. The LP gas conversion process preserves thermal efficiency and burner performance, providing a seamless field modification that meets rigorous gas-fired heater safety standards in the United States. Ensure all HVAC heater parts are installed by a qualified technician to verify gas-tight seals and proper manifold calibration.

• Application Specific: Engineered exclusively for Reznor FT 100/125/200 and SFT 100/125/200 model unit heaters for a drop-in fit.
• Complete Component Set: Includes the 39622-1 spring kit for Honeywell gas valves, designated propane orifices, and conversion labeling.
• Regulatory Compliance: Meets National Fuel Gas Code (ANSI Z223.1) requirements for fuel conversion in commercial and industrial settings.
• Fuel Flexibility: Enables reliable unit heater operation in off-grid or rural locations using liquid propane.
• Optimized Combustion: Precision orifices prevent soot buildup and ensure clean flame characteristics at high LP pressures.

Is the Reznor 179317 kit compatible with UDAP or UDX models?
No, this kit is specifically designed for the FT and SFT series. Standard unit heater models like the UDX or UDAP require different orifice sizes and regulator kits based on their specific BTU ratings.

Do I need specialized tools for the conversion?
A calibrated manometer is required to set the manifold pressure to the specified 10.0" w.c. post-conversion. You will also need a 3/16" Allen wrench for the pressure tap and a 9/16" open-end wrench for orifice replacement.

Can I use this kit for Canadian installations?
This specific 179317 kit is designed for use in the United States. Canadian installations must use the equivalent Canadian-certified conversion kit to comply with CAN/CGA-B149 codes.
