Mounted 0 to 90 degrees in any direction, including 
vertically, from the upright position of the gas 
control knob.

Mount so the gas flow is in the direction of the 
arrow on the bottom of the control.

Thread the pipe the amount shown in Table 7 for 
insertion into control or adapters. Do not thread 
pipe too far. Valve distortion or malfunction can 
result if the pipe is inserted too deeply.

 Apply a moderate amount of good quality pipe 
compound (do not use Teflon tape) only to the 
pipe, leaving two end threads bare. On LP 
installations, use a compound resistant to LP gas. 
See Fig. 4.

Remove the seals over the control inlet and outlet if 
necessary.

Connect the pipe to the control inlet and outlet. Use 
a wrench on the square ends of the control. If a 
flange is used, place the wrench on the flange 
rather than on the gas control. Refer to Fig. 5 
and 6.

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

Square off and remove burrs from the end of the 
tubing.

Unscrew the brass compression fitting from the 
pilot outlet (Fig. 6). Slip the fitting over the tubing 
and slide out of the way. See Fig. 7.

NOTE:

When replacing a control, cut off the old 
compression fitting and replace with the 
compression fitting provided on the combination 
gas control. Never use the old compression 
fitting because it may not provide a gas-tight 
seal. 

Push the tubing into the pilot gas tapping on the 
outlet end of the control until it bottoms. While 
holding the tubing all the way in, slide the fitting 
into place and engage the threads; then turn until 
finger tight. Tighten one more turn with a wrench, 
but do not overtighten.

Connect the other end of the tubing to the pilot 
burner according to the pilot burner manufacturer’s 
instructions.
