Outdoor Plus OPT-ESTOPTM Quick start guide

DESCRIPTION
The 1-Hour Gas Timer with E-Stop is an emergency shut-off, mechanical timer, and manual shut-off gas valve
designed to be installed on the inlet side of a gas appliance to enable the user to control the time gas is allowed to
flow to a gas appliance. This is a mechanical timer (no batteries or power required) that has the ability to control
gas flow for 1-hour (60 minutes). In addition, both models have an emergency shut-off (red knob) that enables the
user to quickly and easily shut the gas completely OFF, should the need arise.
The 1-Hour Gas Timer with E-Stop body is 4-inches high x 2 ⅞ -inches wide x 2 ⅛ -inches deep and can replace a
manual shut-off valve and meet local code requirements as the accessible shut-off valve. It can be use for
multiple applications (indoor or outdoor) from gas fire pits, gas grills, gas logs, gas torch lights, etc., wherever a
shut-off valve is a requirement or a specified by a customer.

MOUNTING
The 1-Hour Gas Timer with E-Stop has the ability to be mounted from the side of the body, using the four (4)
provided holes (two mounting holes per side) or using the two mounting hole tabs at the top and bottom of the
body when facing forward. Each mounting hole uses 3/16 - 24 machine screws to secure it into position. Note: We
recommend using stainless steel screws for any outdoor applications. See Fig. 1 for details.

INSTALLATION
The recommended installation position is up-right as shown
in Fig 2, view "D". It has two (2) inlet and two (2) outlet gas
connections. The diagrams below provide possible ways to
plumb the E-Stop (See Fig. 3). Two (2) ½” NPT plugs are
provided with the E-Stop. Plug the inlet and outlet
connections not being used for the application. Connect gas
supply to the inlet with the arrow pointing into the
valve. Connect outlet side to the gas appliance (See Figs. 2 &
3 for details).
NOTE: Conduct a gas leak test on the E-Stop Gas Timer after
plumbing is complete.
OPERATION
TO TURN ON
Step 1: Rotate the clear timer dial past 20 (ESTOP1-0H) or
past 0.5 (ESTOP2-5H) to set the time. Timer will begin
“ticking” when the dial is turned while the countdown time
is set. Step 2: Turn red knob clockwise (about a ¼ turn)
until it pops outward. Gas will now flow to enable you to
light the appliance.
TO TURN OFF:
Let timer expire or simply press red knob inward until it
stops. The red knob will lock down with a “click” and stop
gas flow. See Fig. 4 and Fig. 5 on following page.
Note: Do not force the timer dial to the OFF position after
time is set (This will weaken the spring inside the timer body
and affect the accuracy of the time).
Timer Dial:
Rotate clockwise to
start time. Adjust dial
to desired time frame.
Red Knob:
Turn clockwise and
knob will “pop” up
to allow gas flow.
