Content: L/P-2500 BTU Gas - 1.55 Spec Gr. Approximate sizes based on average data for all orifice types. Control Valves
Control valves regulate the volume of gas supplied to the burner. Valves have specific maximum BTU ratings and are ported internally to specific sizes. This means that if you are attempting to convert from propane to natural gas, the volume of gas supplied to the burner may not produce a sufficient amount of heat at a HIGH setting even with a correct orifice size. Additionally and more importantly, at the LOW setting the volume of gas may be so low as to allow the burner to go out with a small amount of gas still flowing causing the risk of explosion. In limited cases the control valve may be adjustable by an adjustment screw accessible through the end of the valve stem which adjusts the valve characteristics. With this type of valve the internal porting can be increased or decreased as appropriate. The Meat of it All
