VR8300A CONTINUOUS PILOT COMBINATION GAS CONTROL
Install Gas Control
To install:
1. Mount the gas control 0 to 90 degrees, in any
direction, from the upright position of the gas control
knob, including vertically.
2. Mount the gas control so the gas flow is in the
direction of the arrow on the bottom of the gas
control.
3. Thread pipe the amount shown in Table 4 for
insertion into the gas control. Do not thread pipe too
far. Valve distortion or malfunction can result if the
pipe is inserted too deeply into the gas control. See
Fig. 3.

IMPORTANT
On LP installations, use compound resistant to
LP gas. Do not use Teflon tape.
4. Apply a moderate amount of good quality pipe
compound (DO NOT use Teflon tape) to pipe only,
leaving two end threads bare. On LP installations,
use compound resistant to LP gas.
5. Remove seals over the gas control inlet and outlet if
necessary.
6. Connect the pipe to the gas control inlet and outlet.
Use a wrench on the square ends of the gas control.
If an adapter is used, place the wrench on the
adapter rather than the gas control. Refer to Fig. 5
and 6.

Connect Pilot Gas Tubing
1. Cut tubing to desired length and bend as necessary
for routing to pilot burner. Do not make sharp bends
or deform the tubing. Do not bend tubing at gas
control or pilot burner after compression fitting is
tightened, because this can result in gas leakage at
the connection.
