Product Changes
Main burner assembly
Gas storage water heaters have been manufactured with two (2) types of main burner
assembly. The original production featured a Eurosit gas control with a 2BL Robertshaw
pilot assembly (refer to figure 1). Current production features a Eurosit gas control with a
S.I.T pilot assembly (refer to figure 2).

Gas Control
As from January 2001 a new generation of Eurosit gas control was introduced to
production.
The new gas control features a mechanical interlock between the pilot and main burner
position and, on Natural Gas types, an internal regulated pilot gas supply. The interlock
gas control can be identified by a larger control knob.
The Eurosit Gas Control with interlock will now be the only type supplied as a replacement
from spare parts for all gas types.
NOTE:
When replacing a non interlock Eurosit gas
control (small knob) with an interlocked
version (Large knob) it will be necessary to
replace the lighting instructions in addition
to fitting the gas control:
The replacement lighting instructions are
designed for placement over the existing
lighting instructions.
