Replacing the Gas Valve:
1. To replace the gas control valve/thermostat,
reassemble in reverse order. When replacing the gas
control valve/ thermostat, thread a correctly sized
pipe into the inlet and use it to turn the gas valve
(clockwise.) DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN or damage may
result. NOTE: Use an approved
TEFLON ®
tape or pipe
compound only on the threaded section of the gas
control valve/thermostat that screws into the tank.
2. Reconnect the gas piping to the gas control valve/
thermostat. NOTE: Use an approved Teflon tape or
pipe compound on the gas piping connections.
3. Attach the igniter and bracket to the new gas control
valve/thermostat, clipping it at the back edge of
thermostat and snapping it into place. NOTE: Do not
use the (pilot) ferrule nut supplied with the new gas
control valve/thermostat, unless the existing nut is not
usable. Reconnect the pilot tube, manifold tube, igniter
wire, and thermal switch wires. NOTE: L.P. gas systems
use reverse (left-hand) threads on the manifold tube.
4. Fill the tank completely with water. NOTE: To purge the
lines of any excess air, keep the hot water faucet open
for 3 minutes after a constant flow of water is obtained.
5. Turn on the gas supply and test the gas supply
connections by brushing on an approved noncorrosive
leak detection solution. Bubbles forming indicate a
leak. Correct any leak found.
6. Check the operation of the burner by following the
lighting instructions on the front of the water heater.
With the burner lit, check the gas control valve/
thermostat supply line, manifold tube and pilot tube
connections for leaks.
7. Verify proper operation and then replace the outer door.
8. If additional information is required, contact Residential
Technical Assistance by referencing the phone number on
the water heater.
