Connect Pilot Gas Tubing
1. Cut tubing to desired length and bend as necessary
for routing to pilot burner.
CAUTION
Do not make sharp bends or deform the tubing.
Do not bend tubing at gas control or pilot burner
after compression fitting is tightened, because
this may result in gas leakage at the connection.
2. Square off and remove burrs from the end of the
tubing.
3. Unscrew compression fitting from the pilot outlet
(Fig. 4). Slip the compression fitting over the tubing
and slide out of the way.
NOTE: When replacing a gas control, cut off old com-
pression fitting and replace with the new com-
pression fitting provided on the gas control.
Never use the old compression fitting because it
may not provide a gas-tight seal.
4. Push tubing into the pilot gas tapping on the outlet
end of the control until it bottoms. While holding
tubing all the way in, slide compression fitting into
place and engage threads—turn until finger tight.
Then tighten one more turn with a wrench. Do not
overtighten. See Fig. 6.
5. Connect the other end of the tubing to the pilot
burner according to the pilot burner manufacturers
instructions.
Connect Thermocouple
Connect thermocouple lead as shown in Fig. 7. See
Tables 6 and 7. This is an electrical connection and must
be clean and dry. Never use pipe compound. Tighten only
1/4 turn beyond finger tight to give good electrical
continuity. Do not overtighten.
