VS8510/VS8520

Millivolt Combination Gas Control

APPLICATION

The VS8510 and VS8520, millivolt combination gas
controls, are low capacity compact size millivolt operated
gas valves, see Figure 1. They are designed for use in
small gas appliances burning either LP or natural gas.
Primary appliance applications include gas fireplaces,
fireplace inserts, log sets, free standing stoves, wall
furnaces, and room space

The VS8510 and VS8520 millivolt gas valves are approved
in accordance with IAS (AGA and CGA).

FEATURES

• For use with 750mV thermopile generator.

• VS8510 has operator and power unit powered by

750mV thermopile generator.

• VS8520 has operator powered by 750mV thermopile

and power unit powered by 30mV thermocouple.

• Vented and vent free models.

• Available with standard or high/low regulators.

• Capacity rated at 60,000 BTUH at 1” wc pressure drop.

Maximum regulation capacity is 100 BTUH and
minimum regulated capacity is 10 BTUH. All capacities
are with side inlet.

• Adjustable servo regulator maintains almost constant

gas outlet pressure over a wide range of gas supply
pressures.

• Models available with 0˚F to 175˚F (-18˚C to 79˚C),

-40˚F to 175˚F (-40˚C to 79˚C), 0˚F to 225˚F (-18˚C to
107˚C).

• Multiple inlet and output main gas connections with

NPT or BSP.

• Multiple pilot outlet and thermocouple locations.

• European style inlet and outlet pressure taps.

• Programmed lighting sequence with safe lighting pilot

system and safety shutoff.

• Fine mesh inlet screen included optional outlet screen.

• Mutliple mounting holes can be mounted at any angle

between 0 and 90 degrees from the top upright position
(knob on top).

• Latching device interlock eliminates involuntary re-

ignition of the main burner.

• Snap-open opening characteristics.

• Compact.

• ECO (Energy Cut-Off) option.
