Installation

WHEN INSTALLING THIS PRODUCT…

1. Read these instructions carefully. Failure to fol-

low them could damage the product or cause a hazardous
condition.

2. Check the ratings given in the instructions and on

the product to make sure the product is suitable for your
application.

3. The installer must be a trained, experienced service

technician.

4. After installation is complete, use these instructions

to check out product operation.

WARNING

FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD
CAN CAUSE PROPERTY DAMAGE,
SEVERE INJURY, OR DEATH
Follow these warnings exactly:
1. Disconnect power supply before wiring to pre-

vent electrical shock or equipment damage.

2. To avoid dangerous accumulation of fuel gas,

turn off gas supply at the appliance service
valve before starting installation, and perform
Gas Leak Test after completion of installation.

3. Always install sediment trap in gas supply line

to prevent contamination of gas control.

4. Do not force the gas control knob. Use only

your hand to turn the gas control knob. Never
use any tools. If the gas control knob will not
operate by hand, call a qualified service techni-
cian to replace the gas control. Force or at-
tempted repair can result in fire or explosion.

CAUTION

1. Never apply a jumper across or short the valve

coil terminals. This can burn out the heat an-
ticipator in the thermostat or damage the elec-
tronic direct ignition (DI) module.

2. When a gas control is installed external to the

appliance, a conduit cover must be installed. See
Fig. 1. Place the conduit cover over the flange,
then rotate the conduit cover into position.

IMPORTANT: These gas controls are shipped with pro-

tective seals over inlet and outlet tappings. Do not
remove seals until ready to connect piping.

Follow the appliance manufacturer instructions if avail-

able; otherwise, use the instructions provided below.

CONVERTING BETWEEN NATURAL AND LP GAS

WARNING

FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD
CAN CAUSE PROPERTY DAMAGE,
SEVERE INJURY, OR DEATH
Do not attempt to use a gas control set for natural
gas on LP gas or a gas control set for LP gas on
natural gas.

To convert a gas control from natural to LP gas or from

LP to natural gas, contact your Honeywell representative.

Convert standard or slow opening gas controls from one

gas to another with a conversion kit (ordered separately).
Order part number 393691 to convert from natural to LP
gas. Order part number 394588 to convert from LP to
natural gas. Step-opening gas controls can not be converted.

INSTALL ADAPTERS TO GAS CONTROL

Install adapters to gas control as follows:
Flanges

1. Choose the appropriate flange for your application.
2. Remove seal over gas control inlet or outlet.
3. Make sure the O-ring fits into the flange groove.

If the O-ring is not attached or is missing, do not
use the flange.

4. With the O-ring facing the gas control, align the

screw holes on the gas control with the holes in the
flange. Insert and tighten the screws provided
with the flange. See Fig. 1. Tighten the screws to
25 inch-pounds of torque to provide a gas-tight
seal.

Bushings

1. Remove seal over gas control inlet or outlet.
2. Apply moderate amount of good quality pipe

compound to bushing, leaving two end threads
bare. See Fig. 3. On LP installation, use com-
pound resistant to LP gas. Do not use Teflon tape.

3. Insert bushing in gas control and carefully thread

pipe into the bushing until tight.

USING ADAPTERS TO SOLVE SWING RADIUS
PROBLEMS

In some field service applications, it is difficult or im-

possible to thread the gas control onto the gas supply pipe
because of space limitations. This problem can be resolved
for many installations by using an adapter. Install the adap-
ter on the end of the supply pipe in place of the gas control
by following the same precautions and instructions that are
used for installing the gas control. After the adapter is
installed, attach the gas control to the adapter as outlined
above.

NOTE: Using an adapter increases the overall length of the

gas control.
