G960 Series Multi-Functional Gas Control Valve

Installation

IMPORTANT: These instructions are intended as a

guide for qualified personnel installing or servicing

BASO® Gas Products products. Carefully follow all

instructions in this bulletin and all instructions on the

appliance. Limit repairs, adjustments, and servicing

to the operations listed in this bulletin or on the

appliance.

WARNING: Risk of Fire or Explosion.

The system must meet all applicable local, national,

and regional regulations. Improper installation may

cause gas leaks, explosions, property damge, and

injuries.

WARNING: Risk of Fire or Explosion.

To prevent leakage of upstream gas, shut off the gas

supply at the main manual shutoff valve before

installing or servicing the G960 valve.

Mounting

CAUTION: Risk of Equipment Damage.

To prevent damage to the valve when mounting to

pipework, do not use a wrench on any surface other

than the casting flats provided at the inlet and outlet

ends of the valve body.

To install the G960 valve:

1. Ensure that the specified maximum ambient

(surface) temperature is not exceeded (see the

Technical Data section).

2. Ensure that the power supply voltage is

compatible with the required control valve voltage.

3. When installing the valve on the manifold, ensure

that the gas flows through the valve body in the

direction indicated by the arrow on the valve body.

If the valve is installed with the gas flow in the

opposite direction of the arrow, leakage can occur.

4. Shut off the gas at the main manual shutoff valve.

5. Mount the valve to the pipework. The G960 valve

may be mounted on a horizontal manifold with the

solenoid coils pointed up (vertical) or in any

position not exceeding 90° from the vertical. The

valve also may be mounted on a vertical manifold

in any position around its axis (see Figure 1).

Do not install the solenoid coil upside down. Install

vertically wherever possible.

90° Maximum

90° Maximum

Limited Horizontal and Vertical

Vertical mounting may

be 360º around its axis

with the gas flow either

up or down, but always in

the direction of the arrow.

6. Use an approved pipe joint sealing compound on

the male threads before assembly. Remove

excess compound after mounting the valve to the

pipework. Threads of the pipe and nipples must be

smooth and free of tears and burrs. Steam clean

all piping to remove foreign substances such as

cutting oil or thread chips.

7. Check for leakage. a. Shut off the gas at the main manual shutoff valve and open the pressure connection between the manual shutoff valve and the G960 valve. b. Connect air tubing with a maximum pressure of 1-1/2 times the valve’s maximum operating pressure (as indicated on the valve) to the opened pressure connection. c. Paint all valve body connections with a rich soap and water solution. If bubbles occur, this is an indication of a leak. To stop a leak, tighten joints and connections.

Setup and Adjustments Checkout ! WARNING: Risk of Fire or Explosion. Follow this or an equivalent checkout procedure after installation. Before leaving the installation, verify that the gas valve functions properly and that the system has no gas leaks. Gas leaks can lead to an explosion or fire, and may result in severe personal injury or death. Make sure all components are functioning properly by performing the following test: 1. Test all joints and connections for leaks with a soap solution. 2.
