" NPT at the valve. On 

all control type units, the inlet connection is on the right side of 
unit. To connect from the opposite side, route the pipe around 
the back portion of the unit.

When tightening up the joint to the valve, hold the valve securely 
to prevent movement. 

MILLI-VOLT  VALVE CONTROL 

(Figure 16)

The valve regulator controls the burner pressure which 
should be checked at the pressure test point.

Turn  captured  screw  counter  clockwise  two  or  three 
turns and then place tubing to pressure gauge over test 
point  (Use  test  point  “OUT”  closest  to  control  knob). 
After taking pressure reading, be sure and turn captured 
screw clockwise firmly to re-seal. Do not over torque. 
Check for gas leaks.

Test all gas joints from the gas meter to the heater valve for leaks using a gas analyzer or soap 
and water solution after completing connection. 

DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME.

Check the gas pressure with the appliance burning and the control set to 

HIGH

Connecting  directly  to  an
