Removing Pilot/Thermocouple From Main Burner Assembly

Attention: The thermocouple CAN NOT be replaced as an individual

item. You must order a new pilot when replacing thermocouple.
1. Turn OFF gas supply to the heater.

2. Turn OFF electrical supply to the heater if optional blower is

installed in heater.

3. Remove lower louver from casing assembly (2 screws).

4. Remove reflector from casing assembly (2 screws).

5. Disconnect pilot tubing from pilot (see Figure 14, Page 14).

Grasp nut A with a wrench when removing nut B with a second

wrench.

6. Remove pilot from pilot bracket (2 screws).

7. Remove thermocouple lead from gas valve.

8. As parts are being replaced in reverse order, check for gas leaks

at all gas connections before lower louver is replaced onto casing

assembly.

Removing Main Burner Orifice(s) From Main Burner

Assembly

1. Turn OFF gas supply to the heater.

2. Turn OFF electrical supply to the heater if optional blower is

installed in heater.

3. Remove lower louver from casing assembly (2 screws).

4. Remove reflector from casing assembly (2 screws).

5. Remove pilot bracket from main burner assembly (2 screws).

6. Pivot pilot bracket with attached pilot away from main burner

assembly (do not damage pilot tubing).

7. Disconnect supply tubing from orifice holder(s).

8. Remove orifice holder from venturi of main burner assembly

(1 screw for each orifice holder).

9. Remove main burner orifice from orifice holder. Attention: The

number stamped on the main burner orifice is a millimeter

diameter.

10. As parts are being replaced in reverse order, check for gas leaks

at all gas connections before lower louver is replaced onto casing

assembly.

Removing Gas Valve From Casing Assembly

1. Turn OFF gas supply to the heater.

2. Turn OFF electrical supply to the heater if optional blower is

installed in heater.

3. Remove lower louver from casing assembly (2 screws).

4. Remove reflector from casing assembly (2 screws).

5. Remove upper louver from casing assembly (2 screws).

6. If installed, remove optional blower assembly (4 screws).

7. Disconnect inlet supply tubing, outlet supply tubing, pilot

supply tubing and thermocouple lead from gas valve.

8. If heater is attached to wall, disconnect gas supply line from

inlet regulator.

9. Remove heater from wall.

10. Remove gas valve bracket from casing assembly (4 screws to

be removed are located on casing assembly back).

11. Remove hydraulic thermostat bulb from thermostat bulb clip

located at casing assembly bottom.

12. Remove gas valve from gas valve bracket.

13. As parts are being replaced in reverse order, check for gas

leaks at all gas connections before upper louver, reflector and

lower louver are replaced onto casing assembly.

Removing Main Burner From Casing Assembly

1. Turn OFF gas supply to the heater.

2. Turn OFF electrical supply to the heater if optional blower is

installed in heater.

3. Remove lower louver from casing assembly (2 screws).

4. Remove reflector from casing assembly (2 screws).

5. Disconnect supply tubing from orifice holder(s).

6. Remove pilot bracket from main burner assembly (2 screws).

7. Remove main burner assembly from casing assembly (4

screws).

8. Remove orifice shield from main burner assembly. Attach orifice

shield to new main burner assembly.

9. As parts are being replaced in reverse order, check for gas leaks

at all gas connections before lower louver is replaced onto casing

assembly.

Piezo Pilot Ignitor Instructions

Depressing the ignitor button completely causes a spark to occur

at the pilot.
To light the pilot, it is important that the electrode be 1/8” (3mm)

from the pilot. The spark must occur at the point the pilot flame

hits the thermocouple.
On a new installation with air in the gas line, it is suggested that a

match be used. The match will light the pilot faster than the piezo

under this condition.
