Thanks for your Question,
you will need to bleed the line, as you have air in the lines, once you bleed the line it might take a few trys to get it lit again, but keep trying, it should light, one other thing you may want to do as well after you bleed the line, go to the breaker panel and shut the power off to the furnace, wait about thirty seconds then turn the power back on, that resets the circuit board, then try lighting it, let us know how it went, thanks again,

What tonnage is ruud UBEA-21J14SFEAI

That model number is for an air handler (indoor unit) and not associated with tonnage. Air handlers are more often rated according to CFM and auxiliary heat.

In order to get the tonnage you would need to look at the model number of the outdoor unit (likely a heat pump). Typically tonnage is expressed in 1000s of BTU/hr, i.e. 24 = 2.0, 30 = 2.5, 36 = 3.0, etc.

I am getting an ignition lockout code on the digital readout. what would be the cause? it sparks and calls for heat and will fire for about 2 seconds and then the ignition lockout code is displayed as the...

Ignition Lockout on this unit means #1 that it is set up on propane. If you are low on propane, or were low on propane and just refilled, low/no gas pressure could be the issue. If you ran out of propane, thre is now air in the gas line that needs to be fully blead out.
If propane level is not the issue, replace the ignitor.

The ignitor on these units is also the flame rectifier (flame sensor). If the unit is firing up, but the computer thinks that it is not, then it is not sensing a flame. Replacing the flame rectifier/ignitor will fix the problem in this case.

Converion kit to natural gas.

I don't believe Weber makes a gas conversion kit for your model grill. I say this, because your model grill comes two ways, Natural Gas or Propane. This indicates to me, that there's more than just changing the burner orifices involved.

I can tell you this ... If you could convert it to Natural Gas, you would soon discover that the grill doesn't preheat as fast as with propane. Nor, will it maintain heat as well as propane, in an outdoor environment. Propane burns cleaner and hotter than Natural Gas in an outdoor environment.

Sure, it may seem like a hassle to refill and change the tank, but I can assure you, you won't be satisfied with it's performance.

Air not circulating through vents

is the unit running outside? did you check the breaker? Ruud units often times will have a reset bitton on the outside unit to the left of where the freon lines connect. It is a high pressure switch if it comes on when reset make sure the coil is clean and the fan runs(outside)

Honeywell propane furnace. Ran out of propane last night. Refilled this morning. Has automatic pilot. Heat will not go on. Is there air in my lines? How would I purge the lines??

You will need to cut off power
find the gas shut off at your unit and cut off.
Loosen the fitting after the cut off and open the cut off slowly until you smell gas. re tighten and turn gas and power back on.

Endless Summer Patio Heaters won't stay lit

Hi ColdinSF,

You need to remove the covers from the unit and blow out the gas lines with compressed air. If you can remove the gas lines blow out the lines and what they connect to like the pilot light and main feed line to the burner. Usually they gunk up with use and just need to be blown out with compressed air to clear the lines again. Maybe you have some dirt or foreign object from your gas tank which has clogged the line. Also check the igniter electric lines as well and make sure everything is connected properly. Especially make sure you tighten the gas lines you remove. Hope this helps.

Regards
Bryan
