Not
e: This pilot bracket clips on the top edge of burner pan
and holds the pilot at a 45° position onto the pan, an attachment screw is recommended. Bend pilot tubing from pilot
assembly until the bottom of the pilot bracket is resting against the pan. This will hold the pilot at the 45º position. (Use
caution when bending pilot tubing not to kink the tubing and when locating the igniter and flame sensor wires not to
locate the wires and the tubing in or over the burner pan.)
7. Locate the valve kit in the right or left front corner of the firebox as far forward as possible (See Fig. 10).
8. Bend inlet gas supply line and connect the 3/8” flare fitting to 3/8”
inlet
fitting on the gas valve. (Use caution not to
kink the aluminum inlet line when bending to fit to the valve).
Note:
Use the UR3-68 adapter (if needed) for inlet or
outlet gas supply.
9. Bend 12” stainless flex line and connect it to the valve
outlet,
then connect other end to 3/8” flare fitting to existing
burner pan.
Caution:
Ensure no gas line, inlet or outlet, are placed over top of the burner pan.
10. Turn ON gas supply and check all connections for leaks using soapy water solution.
11. Follow valve lighting instructions. After the pilot is operating, check pilot fittings for leaks.
12. Reinstall basket grate and logs.
13. Install Damper clamp (supplied with valve kit) which allows damper to remain slightly open to allow the pilot gases to
vent).
