VR8300 Continuous Pilot
Combination Gas Control
APPLICATION
These continuous pilot gas controls are used in gas-
fired appliances with capacities up to 200 cfh at 1 in. wc
pressure drop (5.7 cmh at 0.25 kPa) on natural gas.
Included are a manual valve, safety shutoff, two
automatic operators, and a pressure regulator. See
Table 1 for temperature range and regulator type.
The VR8300 setup for natural gas includes a 393691 LP
Conversion Kit. The kit contains a new cap screw, a
pressure regulator adjustment screw, a tapered spring
and a conversion label. The LP to Natural gas
conversion kit is 394588. Step-opening gas controls
cannot be converted.
