The conduit length is 5’ (1524 mm). (Fig. 6) The framing dimensions for the box are 12¹⁄₄”L x 9¹⁄₄”W x 5⁵⁄₈”D (311 x 235 x 143 mm).

6. To secure the valve box assembly to the framing

members, open the box door, remove extension

knob(s), remove the valve cover by removing the

two (2) screws securing the valve cover to the box,

hold the cover plate with one hand and disconnect

the wires to the switch and pilot indicator (R models

only). NOTE: Do not allow the valve cover plate to

hang from the pilot indicator wires as this could dam-

age the wires. Secure the box to the framing through

the two (2) holes at the top and one (1) on each

side using sheet rock screws. (Fig. 7) After fram-

ing the box, replace the wires, the valve cover, the

extension knob(s) in reverse order. NOTE: The pilot

indicator body is labelled +/-, make sure the positive

wire on the pilot indicator goes to ground and the

negative goes to the plug between the valve and the

thermocouple.
