INSTALLATION
This safety pilot system must be installed by a qualified professional service technician. Instructions
must be followed carefully when installing to ensure proper performance and full benefit from the
burner system and safety pilot system.
These instructions must be used as a supplement to the instructions supplied with the Peterson burner system.
Follow the burner system instructions and make adjustments as appropriate for the addition of a safety pilot
system. Use gas pipe sealing compound that is resistant to all gasses (or Teflon tape) and apply to all male
pipe connections. Make sure that all connections are tight.
The valve system is shipped pre-assembled for easy installation
onto the burner pan. Perform installation with care ensuring
not to damage the pilot assembly, or the wires that connect
the components and heat shield.
Note: Installation is easier when done outside of the fireplace.
