    You need to get the conversion kit from the manufacturer. There's more to it than just the orifices and unless you're a qualified gas technician, I wouldn't recommend that you attempt it.

    Armstrong's response is a polite way of saying you need a more experienced gas tech. It is simple math using pressures and btu content to figure out new orifice size. There is even a rule of thumb to ball park it. If your gas tech doesn't know the math, or the rule of thumb, he is under qualified.
