Resideo 396222 Conversion Kit
The Resideo 396222 Conversion Kit is a field-proven solution for transitioning gas control systems from liquid propane (LP) to natural gas. As a veteran technician knows, maintaining the correct manifold pressure is critical for burner efficiency and safety. This single-stage conversion kit facilitates a precise 3" to 5" WC adjustment range, ensuring your appliance operates within its designed natural gas specifications. It is engineered specifically for use with standard and slow opening valves, including the VR8200, VR8300, SV9500, SV9600, and VR8215 series combination gas controls. By replacing the internal regulator spring, o-ring, and adjustment screw, you can achieve reliable flow modulation without replacing the entire valve body. Note that the 396222 is technically identical to the 396222/U and is strictly intended for single-stage applications; it is incompatible with step-opening or two-stage regulator valves.
Key Benefits for Technicians- Universal Compatibility: Seamlessly integrates with Resideo VR8200 and Honeywell SV9500 series valves.
- Field-Adjustable Performance: Features a 3" to 5" Water Column adjustment range to meet specific manifold pressure requirements.
- Complete Hardware Set: Includes a high-tension regulator spring, critical sealing o-ring, and precise adjustment screw.
- Simplified Installation: Designed for rapid field conversion by reusing the existing metal cap screw for a secure seal.
- Regulatory Compliance: Allows for safe LP to natural gas conversion while maintaining the valve’s original slow or standard opening characteristics.
Can I use the 396222 kit on a two-stage or step-opening valve?
No. This kit is built exclusively for single-stage gas valve conversion. Attempting to install this on a step-opening or two-stage unit will result in improper manifold pressure and potential equipment failure.
Is the 396222/U the same as the 396222?
Yes, these part numbers refer to the same physical conversion kit. The 'U' suffix typically indicates universal packaging for wholesale distribution.
What is the primary range for the regulator setpoint?
The kit is calibrated for natural gas manifold pressure, providing an adjustable setpoint between 3.0" and 5.0" WC.
