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.

4. Turn with a wrench until you shear off the

5. Connect other end of tubing to pilot burner.
The main gas valve must be disconnected from the gas
supply piping system during any pressure testing of the gas
supply piping system at test pressures in excess of ½ psi
(3.5 kPa CSA; 50 mbar CE). Overpressurizing can dam-
age the control resulting in leakage or control malfunction.
