Heil Quaker ICP 1001600 Kit

The Heil Quaker ICP 1001600 Nat to LP gas conversion kit is a critical component for contractors reconfiguring natural gas furnaces to operate on liquid propane. This OEM ICP gas valve conversion kit is engineered for specific Heil Quaker heat exchangers and manifold configurations, ensuring correct orifice sizing and spring tension for safe LP gas transition. As an HVAC replacement part, it maintains precise manifold pressure, typically regulated to 10" W.C. for propane applications. Proper installation of this furnace conversion kit requires a calibrated manometer to verify gas pressure regulation and combustion efficiency. Using this OEM gas conversion kit eliminates the risks associated with universal after-market components, guaranteeing compatibility with the pilot assembly and burner orifices. For technicians performing seasonal LP gas conversions, this kit provides the precise hardware needed to maintain furnace performance and compliance with manufacturer specifications.

Key Benefits

• Precise Gas Pressure Regulation: Features a high-tensile LP regulator spring to maintain consistent 10" W.C. manifold pressure.
• OEM Compatibility: Specifically designed for Heil Quaker furnace models, ensuring exact thread pitch and orifice alignment.
• Optimized Combustion: Includes precision-drilled orifices to prevent soot buildup and ensure a clean LP combustion cycle.
• Reliable Transition: Provides a secure seal for gas valve manifolds, preventing leaks during high-pressure propane operation.

Common Questions

How do I verify the correct orifice size for this LP conversion?
The Heil Quaker ICP 1001600 kit includes hardware specific to the BTU rating of your unit. Always cross-reference the burner orifice stamp with the conversion kit technical data provided in the installation manual to ensure correct gas flow.

Can I use this kit for high-altitude propane conversions?
Standard LP conversion kits are typically rated for 0-2,000 feet. For higher elevations, you must adjust the manifold pressure or use de-rated orifices to compensate for the thinner air density and ensure safe furnace operation.

Is an external regulator required when installing this conversion kit?
Yes, while this ICP 1001600 kit converts the internal gas valve, an external liquid propane regulator must be installed at the tank to drop the line pressure to the 11-13" W.C. range required by the furnace gas valve.
