WHEN INSTALLING THIS PRODUCT...
1. Read these instructions carefully. Failure to follow
them could damage the product or cause a hazardous
condition.
2. Check the ratings given in the instructions and on the
product to assure the product is suitable for your application.
3. Assure installer is a trained, experienced service
technician.
4. After installation is complete, use these instructions to
check out product operation.
WARNING
FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD CAN
CAUSE PROPERTY DAMAGE, SEVERE
INJURY, OR DEATH
Follow these warnings exactly.
1. Disconnect power supply before wiring to pre-
vent electrical shock or equipment damage.
2. To avoid dangerous accumulation of fuel gas,
turn off gas supply at the appliance service valve
before starting Installation, and perform Gas
Leak Test after completion of Installation.
3. Do not bend the pilot tubing at the gas control or
pilot burner after compression fitting has been
tightened, or gas leakage at the connection may
result.
4. Always install sediment trap in gas supply line
to prevent contamination of gas control.
5. Do not force the gas control knob. Use only your
hand to push down the reset button or turn the
gas control knob. Never use any tools. If the gas
control knob or reset button will not operate by
hand, to replace the gas control, contact a quali-
fied service technician. Force or attempted repair
may result in fire or explosion.
CAUTION
Never apply a jumper across or short the valve coil
terminals. This may burn out the heat anticipator in
the thermostat.
IMPORTANT: These gas controls are shipped with pro-
tective seals over inlet and outlet tappings. Do not
remove seals until ready to connect piping.
Follow the appliance manufacturers instructions if avail-
able; otherwise, use the instructions provided below.

CONVERTING BETWEEN NATURAL AND LP
GAS
WARNING
FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD CAN
CAUSE PROPERTY DAMAGE, SEVERE
INJURY, OR DEATH
Do not use a gas control set for natural gas on LP
gas or a gas control set for LP gas on natural gas.
To convert a gas control from natural gas to LP gas or from
LP gas to natural gas, contact your Honeywell representative.
Standard- or slow-opening gas controls are converted from
one gas to another with a conversion kit (ordered separately).
Order part number 393691 to convert from natural to LP gas.
Order part number 394588 to convert from LP to natural gas.
Step-opening gas controls cannot be converted.
INSTALL ADAPTERS TO CONTROL
Install adapters on the gas control as follows:
Flanges
1. Choose the appropriate flange for your application.
2. Remove seal over gas control inlet or outlet.
3. Assure the O-ring fits in the flange groove. If the O-
ring is not attached or is missing, do not use flange.
4. With O-ring facing gas control, align the screw holes
on the gas control with the holes in the flange. Insert and
tighten the screws provided with the flange. See Fig. 1.
Tighten the screws to 25 inch pounds of torque to provide a
gas-tight seal.
Bushings:
1. Remove the seal over the gas control inlet or outlet.
2. Apply moderate amount of good quality pipe com-
pound to bushing, leaving two end threads bare. On LP
installation, use compound resistant to LP gas. Do NOT use
Teflon tape.
3. Insert bushing in gas control and thread pipe carefully
into the bushing until tight.
Complete instructions below for piping, installing con-
trol, connecting pilot tubing, thermocouple and wiring. Make
certain the leak test you perform on the control after complet-
ing the installation includes leak testing the adapters and
screws. If you use a wrench on the valve after flanges are in-
stalled, use the wrench only on the flange, not on the control.
USING ADAPTERS TO SOLVE SWING RADIUS
PROBLEMS
In some field service applications, it is difficult or impos-
sible to thread the gas control onto the gas supply pipe
because of space limitations. This problem can be resolved in
many instances by using an adapter. The adapter is installed
on the end of the supply pipe in place of the gas control,
following the same precautions and instructions that are used
for installing the gas control. After the adapter is installed,
the gas control is attached to the adapter as outlined above.
Note that using an adapter increases the overall length of the
gas control.
