Honeywell VR8305 - Mounting and Connecting the Control

Install Gas Control
1. This gas control can be mounted 0-90 degrees, in any
direction, including vertically, from the upright position of
the gas control knob.
2. Mount the gas control so gas flow is in the direction
of the arrow on the bottom of the control.
3. Thread pipe the amount shown in Table 4 for inser-
tion into the gas control. DO NOT THREAD PIPE TOO
FAR. Valve distortion or malfunction may result if the pipe
is inserted too deeply into the gas control.

4. Apply a moderate amount of good quality pipe
compound (do not use Teflon tape) to pipe only, leaving
two end threads bare. On LP installations, use compound
resistant to LP gas. Refer to Fig. 5.
5. Remove seals over gas control inlet and outlet if
necessary.
