V8205, VR8205 Direct Ignition 
Combination Gas Controls

APPLICATION

These direct ignition gas controls are used in gas-fired 

appliances with up to 200 cfh capacity on natural gas. 

They include safety shutoff, a manual valve, one or two 

automatic operators and a pilot adjustment. See Table 1 

for model differences and Table 2 for temperature 

ranges and regulator types.

These gas controls are factory-set for natural (and 

manufactured) gas or LP gas. Do not attempt to use a 

control set for natural (manufactured) gas on LP gas, or 

a control set for LP on natural (manufactured) gas.

Controls with standard or slow opening regulators can 

be converted from one gas to the other with a 

conversion kit (ordered separately). Order part no. 

393691 to convert from natural (manufactured) to LP 

gas; order part no. 394588 to convert from LP to natural 

(manufactured) gas. Controls with step opening 

regulators cannot be converted.
