Bard HVAC GCK-3 Conversion Kit
The Bard HVAC GCK-3 Conversion Kit is a field-installed accessory engineered for the precise conversion of gas-fired heating units from natural gas to liquid propane (LP). As a technician-grade NG to LP conversion kit, it includes the calibrated gas orifices and regulator springs required to maintain the correct manifold pressure and BTU output following a fuel source change. This kit is specifically designed for compatibility with Bard wall-mount and package units, ensuring the burner flame characteristics remain stable and within OEM specifications to prevent soot accumulation or heat exchanger fatigue.
For a successful HVAC equipment conversion, the GCK-3 replaces existing natural gas components with LP-rated hardware capable of handling the higher energy density of propane. Professionals must verify manifold pressure settings using a manometer after installation, as propane typically requires a higher water column (WC) than natural gas to achieve optimal combustion. This OEM Bard conversion kit is critical for contractors adapting equipment to rural locations or sites without municipal gas access, providing a reliable fuel conversion without compromising the structural integrity or performance of the primary heating elements.
Key Benefits- Ensures accurate fuel transition for Bard HVAC systems without sacrificing thermal efficiency.
- Includes precision-drilled LP burner orifices to prevent over-firing or under-firing the equipment.
- Supports compliance with local mechanical codes regarding liquid propane conversion in commercial and residential applications.
- Maintains burner assembly safety standards by utilizing manufacturer-authorized components.
- Simplifies the adaptation of natural gas equipment for propane-only jobsites and off-grid installations.
Is the GCK-3 compatible with all Bard units?
The GCK-3 is designed for specific Bard gas-electric models. Always verify your specific model number and BTU rating against the manufacturer's compatibility chart to ensure the orifice sizes matches the input requirements.
Does this kit include a new gas valve?
No, this kit contains the regulator conversion components and orifices to modify the existing gas valve. A full valve replacement is typically not required unless the existing valve is damaged or incompatible with conversion.
Why is a manometer required for this installation?
Standard LP conversion requires precise adjustment of the outlet pressure. Without a manometer to set the manifold pressure to the specified inches of Water Column, you risk improper combustion and potential damage to the heat exchanger.
