Heater Component Function

Burner Orifices

Metering devices used to feed gas to combustion cones at a

specific flow rate.

Canopy

Reflective aluminum heat shield for heater.

Double Combustion Chamber

Made of special alloy steel. This is where combustion of gas

occurs, providing radiant heat used in the warming process.

Gas Hose

Flexible connector used to convey gas from gas supply line

to inlet of heater.

Injector Body

Secures pilot gas valve to injector tube. Also allows

combustion air to be drawn in to injector tube with gas flow

for combustion.

Venturi Tube

Tubular steel “neck” connecting the gas control valve and

burner orifices to the combustion cones. Gas is fed to the

combustion cones through the injector tube.

Manual Shut Off Valve

It’s purpose is to shut off gas flow to the heater if

maintenance or service are required, or if an emergency

situation occurs. When the handle on the manual valve is

turned parallel to gas flow, the valve is completely open

delivering full gas supply to the appliance. Turning handle

perpendicular (90°) to gas flow shuts off gas flow.

Safety Control Valve

Safety shut off device used to feed fuel gas to the heater

combustion cones for heating. Will shut off flow of gas

completely if gas flame is extinguished.

Pressure Valve

Feeds higher pressure gas to burner orifice, and therefore to

combustion cones.

Thermal Fuse

Safety device connected in series with thermocouple which

will shut off gas control valve if temperature of heater

injector body increases abnormally. (Available only with

thermocouple for replacement purposes.)

Thermocouple

Safety device that will continue to hold open electromagnet

in safety gas control valve when heat is applied to

thermocouple tip. It will also stop gas flow if inner

combustion flame is out.

Thermostatic Head and Sensor Assembly

Device used to cycle the heater and to maintain a specific

temperature. Used on modulating zone panels and

individual control heaters only.
