You can light your gas log set by match, the turn of a knob, the flick of a wall
switch, the use of a thermostat, or by remote control. Once you decide how you would
like to operate your set you can determine what type of control valve you need.
Match Lighting: You can use a match or lighter coupled with the use of a manual
on/off valve for ignition. This is the most basic method of operation for your gas
log set and is not approved for LP (propane) gas. Note: Before considering
this type of operation check your local codes as it may not be approved for NG in
your area either.
Safety Pilot Control: The safety pilot control can be used with NG (natural gas)
and is mandatory for LP (propane gas). The safety pilot control offers operation
at the turn of a knob. The valve sits inside the fireplace next to the gas log set.
You will use a match or lighter to light the pilot originally and then after that
you simply turn the knob on the valve to operate your log set.
Millivolt Valve: A millivolt valve gives you the option of using a wall switch (included
with most valves and requires installation), optional thermostat, or optional remote
control. When selecting a millivolt valve for use with LP gas (propane) you will
need to select a LP conversion kit unless otherwise specified.
