INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
FAILURE TO READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE
INSTALLING OR OPERATING THIS CONTROL COULD CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY
AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
This multi-function gas controls combines into a single compact
package the functions of 3-position gas cock, a main gas valve and
a pressure regulator.The pilot outlet is plugged, but will accept a 1⁄4”
pilot line connection. This control can be mounted in any orientation
except upside down.
To permit replacement of a variety of valve sizes, this control is
furnished with three reducer bushings (two 3⁄4” to 1⁄2” and one 1⁄2” to
3⁄8”). Also included is a conversion kit which allows this valve to be
used at regulator settings of 4.2” W.C. to 11.0” W.C.
Operator: Save these instructions for future use!

MAIN PIPING CONNECTIONS
NOTE
All piping must comply with local codes, ordinances, and/or
national fuel gas codes.
1. Turn off electrical power to the system at the fuse box or circuit
breaker. Also turn off the main gas supply.
2. If replacing an existing valve, disconnect all plumbing and elec-
trical connections from the old control.
3. The control may be installed in any orientation except upside
down.The arrow on the valve indicates the direction of gas flow
through the control.
4. You should use new pipe that is properly chamfered, reamed,
and free of burrs and chips. If you are using old pipe, be sure it
is clean and free of rust, scale, burrs, chips, and old pipe joint
compound.
5. Apply pipe joint compound (pipe dope) or teflon tape that is
approved for all gases, only to the male threads of the pipe
joints. DO NOT apply compound or teflon tape to the first two
threads (see fig. 1 for typical piping connections).
6. If you are using a vise or open-end wrench to hold the valve
while installing piping, do not tighten excessively, as this may
damage the valve.
7. If additional clearance for the gas cock knob is required when
installing the new valve in an existing system, rotate the knob
to the position between ON and OFF. Depress the knob while
turning the valve.The knob will depress only while in this position.
8. See SYSTEM WIRING when making electrical connections.
After all gas and electrical connections are completed, turn gas
on and check for gas leaks with leak detection solution or soap
suds. Bubbles forming indicate a leak. SHUT OFF GAS AND
FIX ALL LEAKS IMMEDIATELY.

DO NOT BEGIN INSTALLATION UNTIL YOU READ THE
FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS.
1. Failure to turn off electric or main gas supply to heating
system could cause personal injury and/or property damage
by shock, gas suffocation, fire, and/or explosion.
2. Do not use this control on circuits exceeding specified volt-
age. Higher voltage will damage the control and may cause
shock or fire hazard.
3. NEVER USE FLAME OR ANY KIND OF SPARKTO CHECK FOR
GAS LEAKS–COULD CAUSE FIRE AND/OR EXPLOSION.
4. DO NOT USEWIRE JUMPER on pilot systems, such as stand-
ing pilot, proven pilot, or spark-to-pilot ignition–a fire and/or
explosion may result.
5. Do not use a control set for natural gas with LP gas, or a
control set for LP gas with natural gas. Personal injury and/
or property damage, gas suffocation, fire, and/or explosion
may result.
1. Do not short out terminals on gas valve or primary control to
test. Short or incorrect wiring can cause equipment damage,
property damage, and/or personal injury.
2. This control is not intended for use in locations where it may
come in direct contact with water. Suitable protection must
be provided to shield the control from exposure to water
(dripping, spraying, rain, etc.).

INSTALLATION
PILOT GAS CONNECTION
Install fitting into pilot gas outlet (see fig. 2), turning until finger-tight.
Insert clean, deburred tubing all the way through the fitting. While
holding the tubing securely, slowly tighten fitting until you feel a slight
“give”. Tighten the fitting an additional 11⁄2turns.
SYSTEM WIRING
CAUTION
!
To prevent electrical shock and/or equipment damage, dis-
connect electrical power to system at main fuse or circuit
breaker box until installation is complete.
NOTE
All wiring should be installed in accordance with local and
national electrical codes and ordinances.
Always check that the electrical power supply used agrees with the
voltage and frequency shown on the gas control.
The typical wiring diagrams (figs. 3 & 4) show only the terminal iden-
tification and/or wiring hook up. Always refer to wiring instructions
provided by Equipment Manufacturer for system hookup operation.
PILOT GAS ADJUSTMENT
If the pilot flame is low and does not engulf the bulb of the mercury
flame sensor, the system will not energize the main valve. If pilot gas
pressure is too high, gas will sputter past the ignition electrode, and
may not ignite. High pilot gas pressure may also cause the flame to
lift off the burner, causing the flame sensor bulb to sense “low” heat.
To adjust the pilot gas pressure, remove the cover screw (see fig. 5).
To REDUCE pilot pressure, turn the pilot adjust screw (beneath the
cover screw) clockwise.To INCREASE pilot pressure, turn the pilot
adjust screw counterclockwise. Replace and tighten cover screw.
PRESSURE REGULATOR ADJUSTMENT
The pressure regulator has been factory adjusted (see control for
specific setting).Although additional adjustments will not normally be
necessary, you may adjust the regulator.Do not force the adjusting
screw beyond the limits that it can easily be adjusted.
1. Energize valve to ignite main burner.
2. Remove “Reg. Adj.” cover screw (see fig. 6).
3. To DECREASE outlet pressure, turn the adjusting screw
(beneath the cover screw) counterclockwise.
To INCREASE outlet pressure, turn the adjusting screw
clockwise.
4. Replace the cover screw. Cycle the valve two or three times to
verify regulator setting.
NOTE
If adjustment to higher range (4.2” W.C. to 11.0” W.C.) is required,
use conversion kit packed with control.

A. This appliance has a pilot that must be lighted by hand. When lighting
the pilot, follow these instructions exactly.
B. BEFORE LIGHTING, smell all around the appliance area for gas. Be
sure to smell next to the floor because some gas is heavier than air
and will settle on the floor.
