4. Physical Description / Drawing of Product
The Super-Saver Bunsen Jet radiant brooder uses a reliable standing pilot ignition system to ignite
the burner. The Bunsen styled burner’s flame impinges on the surface of the cast ceramic
element. The heat is then transferred to the livestock in the form of radiant heat and convection
heat.

All controls are located on the gas valve mounted on top of the brooder canopy. There are three
controls you will use: the control knob, pilot purge button, and the thermostat knob, see
illustration below. The control knob is located on the back side of the gas valve and has three
positions: ON, OFF, and PILOT. The pilot purge button is the spring loaded red button located
beside the control knob. The thermostat knob is located on top of the gas valve, and is adjustable
from 1 (Low) to 9 (High).

5.2. Support Ring Assembly
1. For support ring assembly, see Figure 2, then follow these steps.
2. Insert one suspension rod through each of the openings in the outside of the support
ring. The suspension rod will slide through the opening until the swaged portion
located on the middle section of the bracket is reached.

3. Rotate the suspension rod until the swaged portion mates with the opening, push the
suspension rod through the opening so that the opening is between the swage, then
rotate the suspension rod so that it is positioned with the mounting pedestals pointing
inwards toward the center of the support ring, as in Figure 3.
5.3. Burner Unit Assembly
1. For burner unit assembly, see Figure 3, then follow these steps.
2. Attach the burner plate to the support ring assembly’s suspension rod with the six

2. Position pilot bracket as shown in Fig. 4. Secure with two 8-32 X 1/2 screws and 8-
32 nuts (provided).
5.5. Final Brooder Assembly
1. For final brooder assembly, see Figures 5 and 6. Then follow these steps.
2. Attach gas valve bracket to gas valve with three 10-24 X 1/4” screws. Make sure
the capillary tubing is not pinched by the gas valve bracket.

3. Place ceramic element on top of the support ring.
4. Insert the suspension rods through the three slotted openings in the canopy. Insert a
cotter pin through the second and smaller opening in each of the suspension rods,
then bend the longer leg of the cotter pin to the side. The pilot assembly should be
aligned with the burner unit assembly, when facing the gas valve.
5. Insert thermostat bulb through one retaining clamp, then through the holes provided
in the gas valve bracket as shown in Fig. 5. Place the other retaining clamp over end
of the thermostat bulb.
6. Insert thermocouple into holes in pilot bracket, push through hole until held in place
by springs. See Figure 6. Take the opposite end of the thermocouple and thread into
the gas valve’s thermocouple port. See illustration on previous page.
5.6. Gas Tubing Assembly
1. Refer to Figure 6 for gas tube assembly.
2. Thread orifice into lower portion of the burner. Use caution to keep the orifice
bracket from becoming misaligned while tightening the orifice. Misalignment will
cause poor operation.
3. Remove brass nut and ferrule from brass fitting located in the gas outlet port (see
illustration on previous page for location of gas outlet port), slide the brass nut and
ferrule over the gas tubing, insert the tubing into the brass fitting, and tighten the
brass nut.
4. Remove the brass nut and ferrule from orifice. Slide brass nut and ferrule over the
gas tubing, insert the tubing into the orifice, and tighten the brass nut.
5. Loosen brass fitting that is threaded into pilot outlet of the gas valve. Insert pilot
tubing into brass fitting, then tighten.
6. Remove ferrule and compression fitting from pilot.
7. Slide ferrule and compression fitting onto tubing.
8. Push pilot onto tubing and tighten compression nut.
