This safety pilot kit must be installed by a qualifi ed professional installer. Instructions must be
followed carefully when installing to ensure proper performance and full benefi t from the gas burner
and safety pilot kit.
These instructions must be used as a supplement to the instructions supplied with the Peterson gas burner.
Follow the gas burner instructions and make adjustments as appropriate for the addition of a safety pilot
kit. 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.
CAUTION: Do not cover the safety pilot valve with sand or lava granules, as it may cause overheating.
FOR PROPANE GAS
The safety pilot kit is shipped with a natural gas orifi ce
installed unless the safety pilot kit was received in
the same box as the propane burner. To change
from natural to propane gas, remove the pilot gas
supply line at the pilot end. Replace the natural gas
orifi ce with the propane gas orifi ce (Item 9, Fig.
2-1) contained in the envelope marked "L.P.-GAS".
Reattach the pilot gas supply line to the pilot.
STEP 1: CONNECTING THE SAFETY VALVE
A. Remove the heat shield, knob, and handle
extension.
B. Apply gas pipe compound or Tefl on tape to the
fuel injector/air mixer pipe threads. Be careful
not to block the opening of the fuel injector/air
mixer.
C. Screw the safety valve (Item No. 1) to the fuel
injector or air mixer on the burner (Fig. 3-1).
Be sure that the valve is positioned parallel with
the fi replace fl oor.
FOR LEFT-SIDED INSTALLATION:
A. Make sure the fuel injector and burner cap are
reversed so the fuel injector is on the left side of
the burner and the cap is on the right.
B. Flip the SPK-26 safety valve over so the opening
is to the right, and then mirror the illustration in
Fig. 3-1.
CAUTION: Be careful not to kink the pilot
supply tube or thermocouple.

STEP 2: INSTALLING THE FLAME DIVERTER
BRACKET
Purpose:
The fl ame diverter bracket, when properly installed
onto Peterson G4, GX4, VG4, and P series burner
pans equipped with a safety control system, will
promote quicker ignition of the Peterson gas
burner and protect the safety control system from
overheating.
A. Install the flame diverter bracket before
installing the pilot assembly.
B. Place fl ame diverter bracket (Item 6) over the
side edge of the burner pan where the Peterson
safety control system pilot bracket (Item 7) will
be attached. The bracket should be placed
approximately 1
1
/
4
" from the back of the burner
pan (see Fig. 3-2 or fi g. 3-2C for left-sided
installation).
C. Tap the bracket lightly with a hammer to secure
it in place.
