INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR OEM USE ONLY

5 / 28

1. Turn off gas supply at the appliance service valve before

starting installation, and perform a Gas Leak Test after the

installation is complete.

2. Install the sediment trap (where required) in the gas supply

line to prevent contamination of the gas valve (see ﬁ gure 9).

3. Use only your hand to push in or turn the gas control knobs.

Never use tools. If a knob will not push in or turn by hand,

do not try to repair it. Call a qualiﬁ ed service technician.

Force or attempted repair will void warranty and can result

in a ﬁ re or explosion.

Location

Locate the combination gas valve where it is not exposed to

steam cleaning, high humidity, dripping water, corrosive chemi-

cals, dust or grease accumulation, or excessive heat.

To assure proper operation, follow these guidelines:

▪ Locate combination gas valve in a well-ventilated area.

▪ Mount combination gas valve high enough to avoid exposure to

ﬂ ooding or splashing water.

▪ Make sure the ambient temperature does not exceed the ambi-

ent temperature ratings for each component.

GV60 standard version is suitable for indoor use only.

GAS CONNECTIONS

Fire or Explosion Hazard. Can cause property damage,

severe injury, or death. Do NOT bend tubing at gas valve

connection point after compression ﬁ tting has been tightened.

This can result in a gas leak at the connection.

Use new, properly reamed pipe free from metal or material chips.

When tubing is used, assure that ends are square, deburred and

clean. All tubing bends must be smooth and free of distortion.

When threads are tightened, the valve must be held at the desig-

nated clamping points (see ﬁ gure 8).

Read these instructions carefully. Failure to follow them could

result in a ﬁ re or explosion causing property damage, personal

injury, or loss of life. The product must be installed and operated

according to all codes and local regulations.

It is the appliance manufacturer’s responsibility to determine

GV60’s suitability for a speciﬁ c application.

Do NOT remove screws from the gas valve. Do NOT adjust

and/or alter any components marked with tamper indicating

paint. Motor knob is not to be removed.

Connection Main Gas (Tubing Connections)

1. Do not use pipe joint compound or Teﬂ on

/PTFE tape.

2. Slip nut and ferrule over tubing.

3. Slide nut and ferrule into place, and insert tubing into inlet/outlet

connection until it bottoms. Turn ﬁ nger tight.

4. Use a wrench to tighten nut about 1 turn beyond ﬁ nger tight.

Do not overtighten connections. Overtightening can damage

the control body resulting in a leak or a control malfunction.

Connection Main Gas (Pipe Connections)

1. Do not use Teﬂ on

/PTFE tape.

2. Pipe to be inserted into the valve must be the proper thread

length and to gauge. Thread that is cut too long can cause

distortion or malfunction if inserted too deeply.

3. Apply a moderate amount of approved pipe sealant to the pipe

only, leaving the two end threads bare.

4. Connect pipe to valve inlet and outlet.
