V48A,F,J; V88A,J DIAPHRAGM GAS VALVES
60-2080—9 6
Fig. 3. Preparing piping and installing valve.
IMPORTANT:
When replacing a valve, cut off old compression 
fitting and replace with a new compression fitting. 
Never use the old compression fitting because it may 
not provide a tight gas seal.
3. Push tubing into the pilot gas tapping on the outlet end 
of the valve until it bottoms. While holding tubing all the 
way in, slide fitting into place and engage threads—turn 
until finger tight. Then use wrench and tighten one turn 
beyond finger tight.
4. Connect other end of tubing to pilot burner according to 
pilot burner manufacturers instructions.
5. If required, connect the tubing to bleed gas tapping 
(Fig. 3 and 4) as described in step 3. Connect other end 
of bleed tubing to main burner or to outside atmosphere.
WIRING
1. Disconnect the power supply before making wiring 
connections to prevent electrical shock and equipment 
damage.

2. All wiring must comply with applicable electrical codes, 
ordinances, and regulations. Use NEC Class 1 (line 
voltage) wiring.
