Emerson 36J22 Manuel D’Utilisation

1.  Turn off electrical power to the system at the 

fuse box or circuit breaker. Also turn off the 
main gas supply.

2.  If replacing an existing valve, disconnect all 

plumbing and electrical connections from the 
old control.

3.  The control may be installed in any position. 

The arrow on the bottom plate indicates the 
direction of inlet gas flow.

4.  You should use new pipe that is properly  

chamfered, reamed, and free of burrs and 
chips. If you are using old pipe, be sure it is 
clean and free of rust, scale, burrs, chips, and 
old pipe joint compound.

5.  Apply pipe joint compound (pipe dope) that 

is approved for all gases, only to the male 
threads of the pipe joints. DO NOT apply 
compound to the first two threads (see figure 

2 for typical piping connections).

6.  If you are using a vise or open-end wrench to 

hold the valve while installing piping, do not 
tighten excessively, as this may damage the 
valve. (Torque: 

375 in-lb maximum.) Do not 

cross-thread during installation as this may 
damage the valve.

7. See SYSTEM WIRING when making electrical 

connections. After all gas and electrical con-
nections are completed, turn gas on and check 
for gas leaks with leak detection solution or 
soap suds. Bubbles forming indicate a leak. 
SHUT OFF GAS AND FIX ALL 
LEAKS IMMEDIATELY.

For LP gas conversion, use the LP conversion kit 
supplied with this control. Refer to the instruc-
tions packed with LP conversion kit.
