A. GENERAL INFORMATION
The Hauck LVG Series Limiting Orifice Gas Valves are designed for use with each burner in a
multiple furnace application. They allow fine gas flow adjustment of individual burners to
achieve the desired air/gas ratio at each burner. The standard LVG series valves can be used
as straight through type valves, and are designed for use with any commercial fuel gas.
B. RECEIVING AND INSPECTION
Upon receipt, check each item on the bill of lading and/or invoice to determine that all

D. DIMENSIONS
See appropriate Dimension sheet for detailed dimensional information.
E. INSTALLATION
The LVG valves are designed as straight through valves and feature an arrow indicating the
intended direction of flow.
Install the LVG in the gas line as close to the burner as possible, downstream of a shutoff valve,
gas orifice meter and gas controlling valve, and in an area that allows easy access to the
valve’s adjusting mechanism.
NOTE
Tighten all connections to ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 specifications.

F. OPERATION
The LVG series valves can be used with any clean commercial fuel gas.
For flow adjustment, remove the hex screw cap from the valve. Using a flat-head screwdriver
(1/4" allen wrench on LVG 525 – 540 sizes), adjust the piston assembly until the desired flow
rate is achieved. Counterclockwise rotation increases gas flow.
G. MAINTENANCE
All LVG series valves are designed for maintenance free operation. Under normal usage, no
service should be necessary. For the LVG 505 - 520 size valves, the entire piston cartridge may
be removed for inspection or maintenance of the valve orifice. Remove the cartridge by
unscrewing the brass hex connection. Replace the cartridge when complete.
IMPORTANT
Replace the hex screw cap when adjustment is complete to seal the valve.
