Resideo 396025 Conversion Kit
The Resideo 396025 Conversion Kit is the professional OEM solution for technicians performing a two-stage LP to natural gas conversion on compatible Honeywell and Resideo hardware. This kit is specifically engineered for the VR820xQ, VR830xQ, VR820xN, and VR830xN series gas valves, ensuring the manifold pressure is correctly managed during the transition from propane to methane. By utilizing the Resideo 396025, contractors can field-convert existing two-stage appliances without the expense of a complete valve replacement, maintaining factory-level performance and safety parameters.
The hardware includes a specialized regulating spring, O-ring, and adjustment screw, designed to operate within a 3" WC to 5" WC adjustment range. During installation, the technician will reuse the existing cap screw to seal the regulator tower after the internal spring swap. This gas valve conversion kit ensures precise modulation between high and low fire stages, preventing common combustion issues associated with incorrect fuel-to-air ratios in HVAC two-stage gas heating systems.
- Precision Pressure Regulation: Features a 3-5 inch WC adjustment range specifically calibrated for two-stage natural gas demands.
- OEM Compatibility: Drop-in replacement for Resideo 396025/U, ensuring a perfect fit with VR820x and VR830x series valves.
- Field Efficient: Includes all critical internals required for liquid propane to natural gas conversion, reducing downtime on the job site.
- Reliable Sealed System: High-grade O-ring and adjustment screw maintain pilot and manifold pressure integrity.
Common Installation Questions
Can I use this kit for a single-stage conversion?
No, this kit is specifically designed for two-stage gas valves. Using this on a single-stage VR8205 or VR8305 series valve will result in improper pressure regulation. Always verify your valve's model suffix.
How do I set the manifold pressure with this kit?
After installing the natural gas regulating spring, use a digital manometer to clock the meter and adjust the screw to achieve the manufacturer's specified 3" to 5" WC manifold pressure for both stages.
Is the cap screw included in the 396025 kit?
This kit comes with the internal adjustment components; you must reuse the existing cap screw from the original VR-series valve assembly to complete the installation.
