IMPORTANT: After replacing the valve the CO2 must be checked and adjusted as detailed in Section 15.0 Setting the Gas Valve. Only change the valve if a suitable calibrated combustion analyser is available, operated by a competent person - see section 13.1.

1.Turn the gas cock off and undo the nut on the gas feed elbow under the boiler.

2.Remove the screws securing the gas valve to the boiler bottom panel.

3.Pull off the power lead, earth lead and sensing pipe.

4.Undo the nut on the gas pipe at the gas/air inlet and the gas valve. Remove the pipe, taking care not to lose the sealing washers. Remove the valve.

5.Remove the outlet adaptor and inlet pipe and transfer them to the new valve. Examine the ‘O’ ring seals, replace if necessary.

6.Reassemble in reverse order., ensuring that all seals are in place and the injector is fitted.

NOTE: To assist the boiler to light prior to final setting, use a suitable hexagon key to wind out the throttle adjustment screw until it is flush with the valve body, then turn the screw 4 full turns clockwise (Fig. 100). If the boiler will not light, or the correct CO2 cannot be achieved contact the ‘heateam’ technical helpline.
