IMPORTANT: After replacing the valve the CO2 must be checked and adjusted as detailed in Section 15.0 Combustion Check. Only change the valve if a suitable calibrated combustion analyser is available.
1.Turn the gas cock off and undo the nut on the gas feed elbow under the boiler.
2.Remove the screws securing the inlet pipe flange to the boiler bottom panel.
3.Pull off the earth lead and sensing pipe.
4.Undo the nut on the venturi inlet pipe and slacken the nut on the venturi. Ease the pipe aside and remove the gas 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.
NOTE: To assist the boiler to light prior to final setting, use a suitable hexagon key to wind out the Gas/Air adjustment screw until it is flush with the valve body, then turn the screw 4 full turns clockwise (Fig. 103a). If the boiler will not light, or the correct CO2 cannot be achieved contact the ‘heateam’ technical helpline.
