The Robertshaw "TS" series Thermomagnetic Safety Valve
is a control used to cut off the gas supply to the
burner in the event the Pilot light goes out.
The magnetic assembly is energized by voltage generated
by the thermocouple that is heated by the pilot flame.
When the flame is extinguished, the thermocouple voltage
decreases until the spring overcomes the magnetic force
and closes off the pilot and main supply.
The control can be used for commercial and residential
ovens, infra red heaters, recreation vehicle gas
appliances and many more applications requiring
automatic safety.
Typical
TS-11J Safety Valve with Pilot inlet.
Installation instructions
Piping - Make sure
piping is clean and free from scale and burrs. Apply a
small amount of good quality thread compound suitable
for the type of gas being used. Thread compound should
be used sparingly and on male threads only, leaving the
1st two threads clean.
Thread compound should
never be used on female threads as it may be pushed into
the valve body.
Thermocouple - The nut
should be started and turned all the way in by hand. An
additional quarter turn with a small wrench will then be
sufficient to seat the lock washer. CAUTION, DO NOT
OVERTIGHTEN. |
