INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Operator: Save these instructions for future use!
FAILURE TO READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLING OR
OPERATING THIS CONTROL COULD CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
DESCRIPTION
The 36G/J22, 36G/J23, 36G/J24, and 36G/J52 combination gas valves are designed
for direct spark ignition (DSI) and hot surface ignition (HSI) systems
applications. These valves are equipped with redundant and main solenoid
valves that control gas fl ow to the main burners, a pressure regulator, and a
two-position on/off switch for regulation and electrical shut-off of the
solenoid valves. The 36G/J23, 36G/J24, and 36G/J52 are also equipped with a
slow-opening pressure regulator for softer lighting characteristics.

PRECAUTIONS
DO NOT BEGIN INSTALLATION UNTIL YOU READ THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS.
WARNING
!If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire or explosion may
result, causing property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.
- Failure to turn off the electric or main gas supply to the heating system could cause personal injury and/or property damage by shock, gas suffocation, fi re, and/or explosion. 2. Do not use this control on circuits exceeding specifi ed voltage. Higher voltage will damage the control and may cause shock or fi re hazard.
- NEVER USE FLAME OR ANY KIND OF SPARK TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS–COULD CAUSE FIRE AND/OR EXPLOSION.
- Do not use a control set for natural gas with LP gas, or a control set for LP gas with natural gas. Personal injury and/or property damage, gas suffocation, fi re, and/or explosion may result.
CAUTION
1. Do not short out terminals on gas valve or primary control to test. Short
or incorrect wiring can cause equipment damage, property damage, and/or
personal injury.
2. This control is not intended for use in locations where it may come in
direct contact with water. Suitable protection must be provided to shield the
control from exposure to water (dripping, spraying, rain, etc.).
INSTALLATION
SYSTEM WIRING
REFER TO AND FOLLOW THE APPLIANCE MANUFACTURER’S WIRING DIAGRAM. REFER TO FIG.
1
FOR TERMINAL IDENTIFICATION.
NOTE
All wiring should be installed in accordance with local and national
electrical codes and ordinances. Always check that the electrical power supply
used agrees with the voltage and frequency shown on the gas control.
NOTE
All piping must comply with local codes, ordinances, and/or national fuel gas
codes.
NOTE: ALWAYS INCLUDE A DRIP LEG IN PIPING
NOTE: A MANUAL SHUTOFF VALVE MUST BE INSTALLED WITHIN 6 FEET OF THE
EQUIPMENT
- Turn off electrical power to the system at the fuse box or circuit breaker. Also, turn off the main gas supply.
- If replacing an existing valve, disconnect all plumbing and electrical connections from the old control.
- The control may be installed in any position. The arrow on the bottom plate indicates the direction of the inlet gas flow.
- You should use a new pipe that is properly chamfered, reamed, and free of burrs and chips. If you are using old pipe, be sure it is clean and free of rust, scale, burrs, chips, and old pipe joint compound.
- Apply pipe joint compound (pipe dope) that is approved for all gases, only to the male threads of the pipe joints. DO NOT apply compound to the fi rst two threads (see fi g. 2 for typical piping connections).
- If you are using a vise or open-end wrench to hold the valve while installing piping, do not tighten excessively, as this may damage the valve (Torque: 375 in-lb maximum). Do not cross-thread during installation as this may damage the valve.
- See SYSTEM WIRING when making electrical connections. After all, gas and electrical connections are completed, turn gas on and check for gas leaks with a leak detection solution or soap suds. Bubbles forming indicate a leak. SHUT OFF GAS AND FIX ALL LEAKS IMMEDIATELY.
ADJUSTMENT PRESSURE REGULATOR ADJUSTMENT
Controls are shipped from the factory with the regulator set as specifi ed on
the control label. Consult the appliance rating plate to ensure burner
manifold pressure is as specifi
ed. If any other outlet pressure is required, follow the instructions below.
Outlet Pressure Adjustment Range: Nat Gas 2.5″ – 5″ LP Gas 7.0″ – 12″
NOTE
Valves cannot be adjusted outside these ranges for the specifi ed gas type.

Turn off all electrical power to the system to connect manometer hoses.
For models with Pressure Tap Bosses, turn the pressure test screw (3/32″ Hex)
in the center of the boss not more than one turn counterclockwise. Attach a
5/16″ hose and manometer over the tapered outlet pressure boss on the valve
(see fi figure 4). If the regulator needs to be adjusted, please see the
instructions below. After testing pressure or adjusting the regulator, turn
off all electrical power to the system, remove manometer hoses, turn the
outlet test screw (3/32″ Hex) clockwise to seal the pressure port. Tighten to
7 in-lb minimum. Turn on system power. For models with 1/8″ NPT threaded taps,
the outlet pressure tap plug will need to be removed and a separate hose
fithing installed. If the regulator needs to be adjusted, please see the
instructions below. After testing pressure or adjusting the regulator, turn
off all electrical power to the system, remove manometer hoses, remove hose fi
thing, and re-install plug. Tighten to 60 in-lb max. Turn on system power. To
Adjust Regulator: Energize the valve. Remove regulator cover screw. Turn
regulator adjust screw clockwise to increase pressure, or counterclockwise to
decrease the pressure (see fi g. 5).
Always adjust the regulator to provide the correct pressure according to the
original equipment manufacturer’s specifi cations listed on the appliance
rating plate. Replace regulator cover screw and tighten securely.
Check for Leaks:
Using a leak detection solution or soap suds, check for leaks at the pressure
boss screw or pressure tap plug. Bubbles forming indicate a leak. SHUT OFF
GAS AND FIX ALL LEAKS IMMEDIATELY.

LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE OPERATING
WARNING
If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire or explosion may
result causing property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.
A. This appliance does not have a pilot. It is equipped with an ignition
device that automatically lights the burner. Do not try to light the burner by
hand.
B. BEFORE OPERATING smell all around the appliance area for gas. Be sure to
smell next to the floor because some gas is heavier than air and will settle on
the floor.
FOR YOUR SAFETY
“WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS”
- Do not try to light any appliance.
- Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any phone in your building.
- Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.
- If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fi re department.
C. Use only your hand to move the gas control switch. Never use tools. If the switch will not move by hand, don’t try to repair it, call a qualifi ed service technician. Force or attempted repair may result in a fi re or explosion.
D. Do not use this appliance if any part has been underwater. Immediately call a qualifi ed service technician to inspect the appliance and to replace any part of the control system and any gas control which has been underwater.
