new gas valve set-up

[k0wtz]

i am rebuilding a Vermont castings stove the former gas valve is no longer available so I am redoing it to a simplier gas valve.

the new one has of course the pilot line, the thermocouple but it has a capillary line. Can someone explain to me how this works and where to place the bulb?

thanks

710 205 robertshaw. in looking at oven setups they bring it out the back. so I am thinking out the back on the vc stove?

View attachment 219306 View attachment 219306 View attachment 219295 Mine is uro sit 630 valve. They are about the same hydraulic trmp. valve. Temp is 55-90 deg. Mine and yours. I had to go under stove and a way from stove. I mounted mine bulb on the wall. close to stove about 1 foot away. The heat from stove kept shuting off stove .room was still cold .I used 4 plastic romex cable ties took the nails out of 2 of them put 2 of them to stack on top did this on both so you have 2 drove the four nails in to the wall tided the bulb to the romex cable ties 2 space 4 or 5 inches apart with small zip ties. Has a air gap around the romex cable ties for room temp. not wall temp. Mine work great,View attachment 219295

ok I see that I don't think my temp valve is that long but I now understand the theory and how it works. I haven't fired up the stove yet waiting for the propane adapter. I will let you know how things work out.
