Pilot Flame Adjustment
Typically, the top 3/8” or 1/2” of the thermopile should be 
engulfed in the pilot flame. (Page 26, Fig. 54)
To adjust pilot burner:
1. Remove pilot adjustment cap located on valve.
2. Adjust pilot screw to provide properly sized flame.
3. Replace pilot adjustment cap.
10. Install the conversion orifice.
11. Reinstall pilot hood. Be sure to align hood with index 
tab.

removing two (2) screws. While holding the valve 
cover plate with one hand, disconnect the wiring to 
the switch and the pilot indicator. NOTE: Do not allow 
the valve cover plate to hang from the pilot wires as 
this could damage the wires. Remove the extension 
knob(s). Replace the valve regulator.
13. Using the TORX T20 bit remove and discard the three
(3) pressure regulator mounting screws (A), pressure 
regulator tower (B) and the spring and diaphragm as-
sembly (C). (Fig. 61)

and install the new HI/LO pressure regulator assembly 
to the valve using the new screws (E) supplied with 
the kit. Tighten the screws securely. (Ref. torque =
