Lochinvar & A.O. Smith 100268109 Conversion Kit
As a field-verified tech, you know that converting a high-efficiency Lochinvar Knight KH285 Fire Tube Boiler requires precision components to maintain combustion stability and thermal efficiency. The Lochinvar & A.O. Smith 100268109 Conversion Kit (part number KH285 LP conversion kit) provides the exact OEM LP venturi and internal orifices needed to transition from natural gas to liquid propane. This 100268109 Lochinvar LP gas conversion is a critical requirement for jobsites where a natural gas utility is unavailable, ensuring the Knight KH285 boiler operates within its designated CO2 and O2 parameters. Field installation involves swapping the high-fire throttle orifice and applying the provided KH285 conversion kit labels to indicate the fuel change. Using genuine Lochinvar boiler parts for this propane conversion kit for KH285 prevents common issues like flame rectification failure or inconsistent modulation during low-fire startup. Always verify manifold pressure and perform a full combustion analysis after installing this HVAC propane conversion kit to ensure safe and reliable heating performance.
Key Benefits for the Contractor:
- Precise Fuel Regulation: Includes the application-specific LP venturi designed for the KH285 fire tube heat exchanger to ensure proper air-fuel mixing.
- Factory-Spec Performance: Engineered by A.O. Smith and Lochinvar to maintain the 285,000 BTU/hr input rating on liquid propane fuel.
- Compliance & Safety: Comes with mandatory rating plate conversion stickers to satisfy local mechanical codes and future service inspections.
- Optimized Modulation: Prevents "rumbling" and burner resonance by providing the correct gas density flow for the Smart System control's firing curve.
Common Questions & Technician Tips:
- Which models are compatible with this kit? This kit is specifically sized for the Lochinvar Knight KH285. Using it on smaller models like the KHN110 or larger commercial units will result in improper combustion.
- Do I need specialized tools for installation? Beyond standard hand tools, a calibrated combustion analyzer is mandatory to adjust the high-fire throttle screw and low-fire offset after the hardware is swapped.
- Is the gas valve different for LP? No, the 100268109 conversion utilizes the existing gas valve but modifies the orifice/venturi assembly to handle the higher energy density of propane.
