Install Instructions

VR8300/VR8301 CONTINUOUS PILOT COMBINATION GAS CONTROL
69-0624—03 4
IMPORTANT:
Do not thread pipe too far. Valve distortion or
malfunction may result if the pipe is inserted too
deeply into the gas control. Refer to Fig. 3.
4. Apply a moderate amount of good quality pipe
compound (do not use Teflon tape) to pipe only,
leaving two end threads bare. On LP installations,
use compound resistant to LP gas.
5. Remove seals over gas control inlet and outlet if
necessary.
6. Connect pipe to gas control inlet and outlet. Use
wrench on the square ends of the gas control. If an
adapter is used, place wrench on adapter rather
than on gas control. See Figs. 4 and 5.
