Individual Control Heaters
The bypass orifice is located in the valve body of the
individual controlled heaters. Its purpose is to supply low
pressure gas to the inner combustion cone when heat
demand is satisfied.
The orifice may become plugged with dirt after significant
heater use. Symptoms of a plugged orifice are:
-- Inner cone goes out when thermostatic head cycles
heater back to low heat.
-- Flame back flashing through air intake at injector
body.
Refer to the following instructions:
1. Apply wrenches to the flats of the valve body and the
adapter nut. See Fig. 13.
2. Loosen the adapter nut at the outlet of the valve
body.
3. Pull the control assembly with adapter and adapter
nut from the valve body. See Fig. 13.
4. Using a 3/16 in. nut driver, remove the orifice from
valve body. See Fig. 14. Clean or replace if
necessary. At reinstallation, do not overtighten as
thread damage may occur.
