Gas Connections - Maxitrol GV60 Installations- Und Bedienungsanleitung

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
To assure proper operation, follow these guidelines:
▪ Locate combination gas valve in a well-ventilated area.
▪ Mount combination gas valve high enough to avoid expo-
sure to flooding or splashing water.
▪ Make sure the ambient temperature does not exceed the
ambient temperature ratings for each component.
GV60 standard version is suitable for indoor use only.
It is the appliance manufacturer's responsibility to deter-
mine GV60's suitability for a specific application.
Do NOT remove screws from the gas valve. Do NOT adjust
and/or alter any components marked with tamper indicating
paint. Motor knob is not to be removed.
1. Turn off gas supply at the appliance service valve before
starting installation, and perform a Gas Leak Test after
the installation is complete.
2. Install the sediment trap (where required) in the gas supply
line to prevent contamination of the gas valve (see figure 8).
3. Use only your hand to push in or turn the gas control
knobs. Never use tools. If a knob will not push in or turn
by hand, do NOT try to repair it. Call a qualified service
technician. Force or attempted repair will void warranty
and can result in a fire or explosion.

GAS CONNECTIONS

Fire or Explosion Hazard. Can cause property dam-
age, severe injury, or death. Do NOT bend tubing at gas
valve connection point after compression fitting has been
tightened. This can result in gas leakage at the connection.
Use new, properly reamed pipe free from metal or material
chips. When tubing is used, assure that ends are square,
deburred and clean. All tubing bends must be smooth and
free of distortion.
Do NOT overtighten connections. Overtightening can damage
the control body resulting in leakage or control malfunction.
When threads are tightened, the valve must be held at the
designated clamping areas (see figure 9). Do NOT apply
pressure to top casting or plastic cover.
Connection Main Gas (Tubing connections)
1. Do NOT use pipe joint compound or Teflon
2. Slip nut and ferrule/olive over tubing.
3. Slide nut and ferrule/olive into place, and insert tubing into
inlet/outlet connection until it bottoms. Turn finger tight.
4. Use a wrench to tighten nut about 1 turn beyond finger tight.

Connection Main Gas
(Pipe Connections)
1. Do NOT use Teflon
2. Pipe to be inserted into the valve must be the proper
thread length and to gauge. Thread that is cut too long can
cause distortion or malfunction if inserted too deeply.
3. Apply a moderate amount of approved pipe sealant to the
pipe only, leaving the two end threads bare.
4. Connect pipe to valve inlet and outlet.
Connection Pilot Gas (Tubing connections)
1. Do NOT use pipe joint compound or Teflon
2. Slip one-piece fitting (nut with ferrule/olive) over tubing.
3. Insert pilot tubing into pilot outlet until it bottoms. Turn
one-piece fitting finger tight.
4. Turn with a wrench until you shear off the ferrule/olive from
the nut. Turn an additional ¾ turn to make a gastight seal.
5. Connect other end of tubing to pilot burner.
The main gas valve must be disconnected from the gas
supply piping system during any pressure testing of the gas
supply piping system at test pressures in excess of ½ psi
