INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS - DIRECT SPARK

PILOT OUTLET

Install the pilot tubing plug packaged in the 720-079 gas valve.

WIRING

DO NOT

 short gas valve terminals. This will damage wall thermostat 

and void warranty.

1.  Check the system for the proper transformer by comparing the VA 

ratings of the transformer and the system. The system rating is deter

-

mined by 

multiplying the voltage draw times the amp draw. Normally 

20VA transformers are sufficient for heating only applica tions and 
40VA for heating/cooling applications.

NOTE:

 Improper transformer VA rating will cause erratic system 

 

operation.
2.  Locate the white wire terminal adaptor (jumper) that is included 

with the 720-079 gas valve.

3.  Connect the white wire terminal adaptor to the “M” and “P” termi

-

nals on the 720-079 gas valve.

4.  Determine which wire was connected to the “main valve” terminal 

on the original valve. Connect this wire to the remaining terminal on 
the white wire terminal adaptor.

5.  Connect the remaining wire from the original gas valve to the “C” 

terminal on the 720-079 gas valve
