compact package the functions of 3-position gas cock, a
main gas valve and a pressure regulator. The pilot outlet
is plugged, but will accept a 1⁄4” pilot line connection. This
control can be mounted in any orientation except upside
down.
To permit replacement of a variety of valve sizes, this
controlisfurnishedwiththreereducerbushings(two3⁄4”to
1⁄2” and one 1⁄2” to 3⁄8”). Also included is a conversion kit
which allows this valve to be used at regulator settings of
4.2” W.C. to 11.0” W.C.

reamed, and free of burrs and chips. If you are using
old pipe, be sure it is clean and free of rust, scale,
burrs, chips, and old pipe joint compound.

6. If you are using a vise or open-end wrench to hold the
valve while installing piping, do not tighten exces-
sively, as this may damage the valve.
7. If additional clearance for the gas cock knob is re-
quired when installing the new valve in an existing
system, rotate the knob to the position between ON
and OFF. Depress the knob while turning the valve.
The knob will depress only while in this position.

If the pilot flame is low and does not engulf the bulb of the
mercury flame sensor, the system will not energize the

past the ignition electrode, and may not ignite. High pilot
gas pressure may also cause the flame to lift off the

To adjust the pilot gas pressure, remove the cover screw
(see fig. 5). To REDUCE pilot pressure, turn the pilot
adjust screw (beneath the cover screw) clockwise. To
INCREASE pilot pressure, turn the pilot adjust screw
counterclockwise. Replace and tighten cover screw.

PILOT LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
AND PRECAUTIONS
FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE LIGHTING
If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire or explosion
may result causing property damage, personal injury or loss of life.

for gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor because some
gas is heavier than air and will settle on the floor.
C. Use only your hand to push in or turn the gas control knob.
Never use tools. If the knob will not push in or turn by
hand, don't try to repair it; call a qualified service techni-
cian. Force or attempted repair may result in a fire of
