This safety pilot system must be installed by a qualifi ed professional service technician. Instructions
must be followed carefully when installing to ensure proper performance and full benefi t from the
burner system and safety pilot system.
These instructions must be used as a supplement to the instructions supplied with the R.H. Peterson burner
system. Follow the burner system instructions and make adjustments as appropriate for the addition of a safety
pilot system. Use gas pipe sealing compound that is resistant to all gasses (or Tefl on tape) and apply to all
male pipe connections. Make sure that all connections are tight.
The valve system is shipped pre-assembled for easy
installation onto the burner pan.
Note: Installation is easier when done outside of the
fi replace.
PREPARATION
If the burner that the valve system is to be added to is
already installed; remove all decorative media, set aside to
be reinstalled later, and disconnect the fl ex connector and
adapter from the burner pan (using the instructions that
came with the original burner).
CONVERTING FOR DIFFERENT GAS TYPE
CAUTION: Check to be sure this pilot kit is designed
and labeled for the type of gas (natural or
propane gas) supplied to the fi replace.
The safety pilot kit may require a pilot orifi ce conversion.
Replace the existing gas orifi ce with the opposite gas
orifi ce (contained in the envelope marked "L.P. GAS" or
"NAT GAS") by carefully removing the pilot gas supply line.
Re-attach the pilot gas supply line to the pilot when done.
Reference Fig. 9-1.
CAUTION: During any conversions, all components must
be set/converted for the appropriate gas type
(i.e. burner orifi ce). Contact your dealer and a
qualifi ed professional service technician.
REMOVE PILOT ASSEMBLY
1. Using an adjustable crescent wrench, carefully remove
the pilot gas supply line and thermocouple lead from
the valve as shown in Fig. 9-2.
INSTALL VALVE
1. Apply gas pipe sealing compound (or Tefl on tape) to
the gas nipple on the bottom of the burner.
2. Install the valve by screwing it onto the nipple (Fig. 9-3).
Be sure all connections are tight.
Important: Ensure the valve is positioned parallel with the
fi replace fl oor. Adjust as necessary.
