Rheem-Ruud 60-22513-03 Conversion Kit
The Rheem-Ruud 60-22513-03 Conversion Kit is a field-proven LP conversion kit engineered for transitioning natural gas heating systems to liquid propane. Designed specifically for compatibility with Rheem and Ruud gas valves (often White-Rodgers or Honeywell integrated systems), this OEM replacement part includes the calibrated gas valve spring and required burner orifices to maintain proper manifold pressure. Effective furnace gas conversion relies on the precise tension of the regulator spring to achieve the standard 10" W.C. manifold pressure required for propane combustion. This HVAC propane kit ensures the burner assembly operates within manufacturer-specified BTU inputs, preventing over-firing or soot accumulation typical with improper fuel-to-air ratios. For professionals, the 60-22513-03 offers a direct-fit solution that maintains the integrity of the combustion cycle and ensures consistent ignition in residential furnace applications. Verify cross-reference compatibility with the existing gas valve model before field installation.
Key Benefits- Precise Fuel Regulation: Includes a high-tension regulator spring calibrated to maintain the higher manifold pressures required for liquid propane operation.
- Optimized Combustion: Features precision-drilled burner orifices that ensure the correct fuel-to-air ratio, preventing efficiency loss and carbon monoxide issues.
- OEM Integrity: As a genuine Rheem-Ruud 60-22513-03 component, it maintains the original equipment performance specifications and safety tolerances.
- Standardized Fit: Engineered for seamless integration with specific Honeywell and White-Rodgers gas valves used in contemporary Furnace gas conversion projects.
What manifold pressure is required after installing this kit?
Standard LP conversion for these units typically requires adjusting the manifold pressure to 10" W.C. Always use a calibrated manometer to verify the output at the valve pressure tap after installation.
Can I use this kit for high-altitude installations?
This kit is designed for standard altitudes. For installations above 2,000 feet, technicians must typically de-rate the burner input by 4% per 1,000 feet, which may require different orifice sizing than what is included in the base 60-22513-03 kit.
Does this kit include the conversion labels?
Yes, professional conversion kits include the necessary "converted to LP" warning and sign-off labels to ensure code compliance and safety for future service technicians.
