I have a Pleasant Hearth 30K BTU ventless gas (propane) stove fireplace......The controls are on the bottom of the stove. I would like to change the control valve to a millivolt valve. Does anyone know if there is a millivolt valve that is a direct replacement for the EuroSIT 630 (0630560) that comes standard on the stove?

Good morning......I want to move the controls up behind the stove where they are more accessible. This would also allow for "remote control"...
Can’t be done. Millivolts are generated by a thermopile in the pilot assembly. Your unit doesn’t have one AFIK. You only have a thermocouple in there. A thermocouple generates about 30 mV. A thermopile generates about 550 mV. Maybe someone else will chime in here to refute what I‘ve said, but I don’t think that’ll happen. Your unit is not tested for the modifications you will need to do & it will not be safe to operate.
