Reznor 179316 Conversion Kit

When you are tasked with a fuel transition in the field, the Reznor 179316 Conversion Kit provides the exact OEM components required to switch Reznor FT and SFT unit heaters from Liquid Propane (LP) to Natural Gas. This kit is specifically engineered for FT/SFT 30, 45, 60, and 75 models, ensuring the burner assembly maintains its 82-83% thermal efficiency rating after the changeover. As a technician, verify your manifold pressure and gas valve manufacturer before installation; this kit includes a #48 burner orifice and high-altitude manifold pressure labels to satisfy code requirements. By utilizing a genuine Reznor 179316 LP to NAT conversion kit, you ensure combustion safety and precise orifice sizing, preventing the heat exchanger fatigue or soot accumulation often caused by mismatched aftermarket parts. The package contains a Honeywell 394588 regulator spring and Robertshaw A54301 regulator spring, allowing for compatibility across various single-stage gas valve configurations found on these legacy units.

• Precise Fuel Conversion: Specifically designed for Reznor FT/SFT unit heaters to ensure seamless transition to natural gas.
• Enhanced System Reliability: Prevents BTU input deviations and flame lift-off by providing factory-spec #48 orifices.
• Comprehensive Component Kit: Includes regulator springs for both Honeywell and Robertshaw valves, reducing the need for multiple truck trips.
• Code Compliance: Comes with conversion tape and manifold pressure labels to meet inspection requirements for high-altitude installations.
• OEM Integrity: Maintains the unit heater airflow performance and factory-calibrated combustion ratios.

Is this kit compatible with UDAP or UDAS models?
No, the Reznor 179316 is purpose-built for the FT and SFT series. For V3 series UDAP or UDAS heaters, a different conversion kit is required to match the TCORE2 combustion system.

Do I need to change BOTH regulator springs?
No. You must identify the manufacturer of your gas valve (Honeywell vs. Robertshaw) and install the corresponding regulator spring kit while discarding the unused one.

What is the proper manifold pressure after conversion?
Standard natural gas manifold pressure for these Reznor unit heaters is typically 3.5" W.C. Always consult the 179316 installation manual to confirm settings for your specific altitude and model size.
