Type 63EGLP
7. Apply thread sealant to exposed end of the
6 in. Male NPT pipe nipple. To install the new pilot,
thread pilot Port D onto the pipe nipple until snug,
tightening until the spring case and compression
fitting are oriented in the same direction as the
main valve outlet.
8. Orient the stainless steel tubing (key 44) to
connect the compression fitting on the pilot to
the compression fitting on the 3-way valve. Finger
tighten the compression fitting assembly, then use
appropriate 11/16 wrench to turn the nut 1/4 turns
(assuming the ferrule is already clamped to the tube).
a small amount of vapor release
may occur during steps 10 and 11.
if the main valve or alternate pilot
continuously vents while conducting
steps 10 or 11, return the handle to the
previous position and contact your local
LP-Gas distributor.
9. Locate the wire seals securing the sliding
lock mechanisms on the 3-way valve handle
and remove them. The wire seals are factory
installed to discourage tampering from
untrained professionals and should be replaced
upon completion.
10. The 3-way ball valves are factory-equipped with
positive stops to prevent over-rotation. In the
event these stops have been removed, do not
over-rotate the handle assembly as this may
cause improper valve operation. Slowly rotate
the handle assembly (key 48) of the 3-way valves
until the handle assembly points away from
the newly installed pilot. The handle assembly
should be oriented such that the sliding handle
locks are capable of sliding into place. Once the
handle assembly points away from the newly
installed pilot, the new pilot should be active
and pressurized. Perform a leak check on all
connections and fittings.
a. At this time you may choose to continue using
the new pilot as the main control pilot or rotate
the handle assembly to utilize the alternate pilot
as the main control pilot.
11. The reserve pilot should be purged of pressure to
prolong service life and minimize the risk of vapor
reliquefying in the pilot and the piping. Gently
loosen the 11/16 in. compression fitting securing
the stainless steel line to the inactive pilot to bleed

off trapped pressure. After purging the inactive
pilot, finger tighten the compression fitting, then
use appropriate wrench to turn the nuts to 1/4 turn.
Install the wire seals.
Type 63EGLP Main Valve
The Main Valve assembly can only be
repaired or modified where local codes
or restrictions allow. Check with your
LP-Gas distributor or local authority
Having Jurisdiction for information on
restrictions that may apply.
Replacing Trim Sealing Parts
Perform this procedure if inspecting, cleaning or
replacing individual parts in the trim package, by using
Repair Kit Part No. R63EGLPx012. Key numbers
for the Type 63EGLP main valve are referenced
in Figure 7.
all disassembly, trim sealing parts change
and reassembly steps in this section
may be performed with the relief valve
still connected to the upstream piping, if
upstream pressure is removed. The pilot
and its pipe nipple must be removed with
the Type 63EGLP main valve.
Access to the spring (key 9) or flange
O-ring (key 21) in step 1 can be gained
without removing the body flange (key 2).
1. Remove the pilots and pilot pipe nipples from the
valve body. Remove the body flange plug (key 27)
and the spring (key 9) and attached parts.
2. Remove the cap screws (key 3) and pry the body
flange (key 2) loose from the valve body (key 1).
3. Use the valve body as a holding fixture if desired.
Flip the body flange over and anchor it on the
valve body as shown in Figure 6, removing the
pipe plug (key 31) first if necessary.
4. To gain access to the port seal (key 12), upper
seal (key 15) or valve plug parts, unscrew the
seat ring (key 13) from the cage (key 11) and the
cage from the body flange (key 2). For leverage, a
wrench handle or similar tool may be inserted into
the orifice slots (Figure 6) and a strap wrench may
