INSTALLATION

When installing this product...

1. Read this instructions carefully. Failure to follow them

could damage the product or cause a hazardous condi-

tion.

2. Check the rating given in the instructions and on the

product to make sure the product is suitable for your

application.

3. Installer must be a trained, experienced, flame safe-

guard control technician.

4. After installation is complete, check out product opera-

tion as provided in these instructions.

CAUTION

1. Turn off gas supply before starting installation.

2. Disconnect power supply before beginning

installation to prevent electrical shock and

equipment damage.

3. Do not remove seal over valve inlet or outlet

until ready to connect piping.

Prepare piping and install valve (Fig. 5)

1. Use new, properly reamed pipe which is free from chips.

2. Do not thread pipe too far.

3. Apply good quality pipe dope resistant to the action of

LP gas, putting a moderate amount on the male threads

only. If pipe dope lodges on the valve seat, it will prevent

proper closure.

4. Install valve in a horizontal pipe line, (refer to Fig. 5 for

mounting position) with the gas flow matching the direc-

tion indicated by the arrow on the casting.

5. Apply a parallel jaw wrench only to the wrench flats of

the valve body, next to the pipe being inserted. A

wrench applied to the valve body itself or to the end far-

thest from the pipe being inserted may distort the cast-

ing, resulting in malfunction on the gas valve.

6. The gas flow must be in the same direction as the arrow

on the body of the valve.

WARNING

If the flow is not in the same direction of arrow,

valve may not shut off.

Fig. 5. Mounting position.

7. Make electrical connections as illustrated in the wiring

diagrams; see Fig. 6.

8. Turn on main gas and with a soap solution, check valve

installation for leaks.

WIRING

1. Disconnect power supply before making wiring connec-

tions to prevent electrical shock and equipment dam-

age.

2. Installation and wiring must be in conformance with

National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70, local codes

and regulations.

3. For normal installations, use moisture-resistance No. 14

wire suitable for at least 167ºF (75ºC) if using a Flame

Safeguard Primary Control, or 194ºF (90ºC) if using a

Flame Safeguard Programming Control.

4. For high temperature installations, use moisture resis-

tant No. 14 wire selected for a temperature rating above

the maximum operating temperature.

5. Check the power supply circuit. The voltage and fre-

quency must match those of the valve.

6. Refer to Fig. 6 for typical V4295A,S field wiring with

RM7800 (typical) Primary Safety Control. Refer to Fig. 7

for typical V8295A,S field wiring with Primary Safety

Control. Follow the burner manufacturer’s wiring dia-

gram, when provided. Refer to burner controller (pri-

mary safety control) wiring diagram for specific wiring

terminal designations.

7. Make wiring connections at the electrical terminations

provided in the wiring compartment of the valve.

OPERATION

The V4295A and V8295A Normally Closed series gas valves

are Class B fail safe shut off valves. The valve is opened by

energizing the direct ON/OFF operator. The direct ON/OFF

operator consists of a coil and stop sleeve assembly. Inside

the stop sleeve assembly is a plunger which is able to move

up and down, thus opening or closing the valve. The plunger

glides on two anti-friction bearings. A strainer, made of AISI

303 stainless steel, is incorporated into the valve.

CHECKOUT AND TROUBLESHOOTING

WARNING

Do not allow fuel to accumulate in the combustion

chamber. If fuel is allowed to enter the chamber for

longer than a few seconds without igniting, an

explosive mixture could result.

CAUTION

1. Do not put the system into service until you

have satisfactorily completed all applicable tests

described in the Checkout section of the

instructions for the flame safeguard control and

any other test required by the burner

manufacturer.

2. Close all manual fuel shut off valves as soon as

trouble occurs.

CHECKOUT

1. Check the performance of the valve by measuring the

pressures at the inlet and outlet pressure taps. The

pressure reading at the outlet tap may be slightly higher

than a downstream measurement due to dynamic gas

flow effects. The measurement at the outlet tap is for

reference only.

2. Shut off gas supply to valve and make sure valve is

closed when setting up pressure measuring equipment.

3. Set thermostat or controller to energize the valve and

check final outlet pressure.

4. Start the system and observe its operation through at

least one complete cycle to ensure the valve functions

as described in the section “Operation” on page 6.

Valve Leak Test (Fig. 8)

This is a test for checking the closure tightness of the gas

safety shutoff valve. It should be performed only by trained,

experienced flame safeguard control technicians during the

initial startup of the burner system or whenever the valve is

replaced (see Service Information section). It is recommended

that this test also be included in the scheduled inspection and

maintenance procedures.

1. De-energize the control system to make sure no power

goes to the valve (C, Fig. 8).

2. Close the upstream manual gas cock (A).

3. Make sure the manual test petcock (F) is closed in the

leak test tap assembly (D).

4. Remove the leak test tap plug and connect the test

apparatus to the leak test tap (D).

5. Close the downstream manual gas cock (E).

6. Open the upstream manual gas cock (A).

7. Run the V4/8295A Valve to is open position (through the

safety system); then immediately de-energize the sys-

tem to close the V4/8295A Valve.

8. Immerse a 1/4 in. (6 mm) tube vertically 1/2 in. (13 mm)

into a jar of water.

9. Slowly open the manual test petcock (F).

NOTE: For international leak test requirements, contact the

appropriate approval agency.

After the Test

1. Close the upstream manual gas cock (A).

2. Close the manual test petcock (F), remove the test

apparatus, and close the leak test tap (D).

3. Make sure the downstream manual gas cock (E) is

closed.

4. Open the upstream manual gas cock (A) and energize

the V4/8295A Valve through the safety system.

5. Test with rich soap and water solution to make sure

there is no leak at the leak test tap (D) or any pipe

adapter/valve mating surfaces.

6. De-energize the V4/8295A Valve (C).

7. Open the downstream manual gas cock (E).

8. Restore the system to normal operation. If two safety

shutoff valves are used, check each valve separately for

closure tightness.

1. If the valve will not open when the thermostat or

controller is calling for heat:

a. Check that there is voltage at the valve actuator

lead wires or terminal block.

CAUTION

Line voltage (120 Vac) should be present when the

primary safety control energizes the V4295A,S

valve actuator. 24 Vac should be present when the

primary safety control energizes the V8295A,S

valve actuator.

b. If there is no voltage at the actuator, first ensure line

voltage power is connected to the master switch, the

master switch is closed and overload protection (cir-

cuit breaker, fuse or similar device) has not opened

the power line.

c. If there is still no voltage at the actuator, make sure

all appropriate contacts in the thermostat (or control-

ler), limit(s) and flame safeguard control are closed.

If one or more are open, determine the cause(s) and

correct condition(s) before proceeding.

d. If there is proper voltage at the actuator but the

valve still does not open, first check that the gas

pressure is normal.

e. If the valve still does not open, replace valve.

2. If the valve will not close when one or more of the

appropriate contacts in the thermostat (or control-

ler), limit(s) or flame safeguard control is open:

a. Make sure that the gas flow is in the direction of the

arrow on the valve body.

b. Make sure the valve actuator is wired in the correct

circuit. Open the master switch to remove power

from the actuator. If the valve closes now, the actua-

tor may not be wired properly.

c. Look for a short in the electrical circuit.

SERVICE INFORMATION

CAUTION

1. Only qualified service technicians should

attempt to service or repair flame safeguard

control and burner.

2. Line voltage is present in the electrical circuits

to the valve. Open the master switch before

replacing the valve.

CAUTION

1. Label all wires prior to disconnection when

servicing valves. Wiring errors can cause

improper and dangerous operation.

2. Verify proper operation after servicing.

Scheduled inspection and maintenance
