Is this valve convertible or not?

I'm looking to replace the gas valve in an old heater. I think we've got it narrowed down to the Robertshaw 710 series. This manual valve says it's convertible, but when I checkout the conversion kit it says hydraulic valves are not convertible. Any idea which it really is? Thank you for your time.

@mattmia2 this is related to my old furnace discontinued valve post.

does the old valve have a built in regulator?

I don't have any idea, it's 60yrs old and there's not much info on it. I was trying not to go too far off topic in the other thread. Admittedly not great at forum communication.

I does however not look like it has an external added on regulator. The trailer has the standard lp regulator near the bottles, however I suspect they are different.

The answer to the original on topic question is....yes it is convertible. The regulator says hydraulic valves are not field convertible, but the 710 series is, check out the install sheet. Must be a generic paper.
