Rev 2 - 1712201520
This safety pilot system must be installed by a qualifi ed professional service technician. Instructions
must be followed carefully when installing to ensure proper performance and full benefi t 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 Tefl on 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 fi replace.
PREPARATION
If the burner that the valve system is to be added to is already
installed; remove all decorative media, set aside to be reinstalled
later, and disconnect the fl ex connector from the burner pan
(using the instructions that came with the original burner).
INSTALL PILOT MOUNTING BRACKET
CAUTION: Use only the pilot assembly pre-assembled with
this kit. Never substitute with an existing pilot.
The pilot assembly comes with an L-shaped mounting bracket.
Remove the two phillips screws holding the bracket in place,
then use them to fasten the bracket to burner pan (short side
toward the back of the pan) using the pre-drilled holes in the
pan (see Fig. 7-1).
INSTALL THE VALVE
1. Apply gas pipe sealing compound (or Tefl on tape) to the
male end of the fuel injector or air mixer on the burner.
2. Attach the adapter (pre-assembled to valve) to the fuel
injector or air mixer by screwing the pan onto the adapter
(Fig. 7-2). Take care not to damage the attached pilot
assembly when rotating the burner pan. Be sure all
connections are tight.
Important: The rear of the valve may need to be angled
slightly upward to allow for the pan to sit fl at
against the fi replace fl oor. Adjust as necessary.
INSTALL THE FLAME DIVERTER BRACKET
For installation on G4/G45 burners only. When properly installed
onto the burner pan, the fl ame diverter bracket will promote
quicker ignition and protect the safety control system from
overheating.
Note: You must fi rst install the fl ame diverter bracket before
installing the pilot/igniter assembly.
1. Place the fl ame diverter bracket over the side edge
of the burner pan, near the location the safety control
system pilot bracket will be attached. It should be placed
approximately 2-1/2" from the rear wall of the burner
pan (see Fig. 7-3).
2. Tap the bracket lightly with a hammer to secure it in place.

an ideal manner to prevent damage / unsafe operation,
and to allow for proper heat shield placement. Maintain
this orientation at all times (reference Fig. 8-2 or 8-3).
WARNING: Keep the pilot/igniter assembly clear at all
times. Never cover any part of the pilot/
igniter assembly.
CONNECT TO GAS SUPPLY
To connect the valve to the gas supply, the fl ex connector
kit and component parts will be needed, which are included
with the burner system. Refer to the PARTS LIST in the
instructions supplied with the burner to identify the key
parts needed.
1. MAKE SURE THE FIREPLACE GAS SUPPLY IS
TURNED OFF.
2. Locate the gas-supply stub inside the fi replace and
remove the cap, if attached.
CAUTION: When removing the cap, make sure the stub
does not turn, loosening the connection inside
the wall.
3. Discard the small adapter included with burner fl ex
connector kit. Attach one end of the fl ex connector
(included with burner) to the elbow/adapter found
on the control valve. Tighten securely. See Fig. 8-2
or Fig. 8-3.
4. Place the burner system in the fi replace. Center the
burner in the fi replace.
5. Be sure gas to the fi replace is off. Attach the large
