TRADELINE
These continuous pilot gas controls are used in gas-fired
appliances with capacities up to 200 feet
pressure drop [5.7 meters
They include a manual valve, safety shutoff, two automatic
operators, and a pressure regulator. See Table 1 for tempera-
ture range and regulator type.
The VR8300 setup for natural gas includes a 393691 LP
Conversion Kit. The kit contains a cap screw, a pressure
