Hi all,

I've been having a hell of a time trying to repair our furnace (The HVAC guy wanted $875.00 plus). It was converted to LP gas and I am having trouble figuring out which orifice size to use. Any ideas? The part is Honeywell Q3450C1185.

So many questions, what size orifices do you have for that pilot assembly. those cap orifices will have a number stamped on them. What about the main burner orifices? What is the btu input of the furnace? Is this a repair or an installation?
 
Heres a chart lp runs at 11" if you have 4 burners 1 00k furnace 25k per burner ,pilot .010 - .016. Orfices can be drilled out just use a pin vice to hold the bit and use your hand to turn the bit.

True except for stamped orifices. If those are drilled the flame characteristics are changed. A jewelers broach can be pushed in to clean them or increase size.
