VR8104, VR8204, and VR8304
Intermittent Pilot Combination
Gas Controls
APPLICATION
These intermittent pilot gas controls are used in gas-fired
appliances with up to 415 ft3/hr capacity at 1 in. wc
pressure drop (8.5 m3/hr at 0.25 kPa) on natural gas.
They include safety shutoff, a manual valve, two
automatic operators, a pressure regulator and a pilot
adjustment.
