Gas Valve Removal

1. Remove burner tray from heater as described in
the Burner Tray Removal section.
2. Disconnect pilot tubing (if removing a Millivolt
valve).
3. Disconnect wires to gas valve.

Main Burner & Orifice Removal
1. Remove burner tray.
2. Remove screws from rear burner hold-down
bracket.
NOTE: If the heat exchanger is sooted badly, the
burner hold-down bracket and spacer can become
distorted from direct-flame impingement and this
usually necessitates replacement of these parts.
3. Lift burners from slotted spacers and slide from ori-
fices. Clean with a wire brush.
4. Orifices usually do not need to be replaced. To
clean, run either copper wire or wood toothpick
through orifice. Do not enlarge hole. To remove ori-
fice, use a socket wrench and remove from
manifold. Do not over-tighten when reinstalling.
5. Reverse above procedure to reinstall.
ORIFICES MUST BE PARALLEL WITH BASE
TOLERANCE OF +2° -0°
