Mounting • The gas supply must be shut off and the Double Shutoff Valve must be de-energized before mounting the gas pressure switch. • Disconnect all power to the pressure switch before beginning to prevent electrical shock and equipment damage. Recommended Mounting Procedure • Remove the clear cover of the switch. • Open the plastic bag containing the mounting kit which is placed under the cover. • Take out the M4 x 20 mm self tapping socket head screws. • Use the screws to cut the threads in the predrilled holes in the flange or the side of the valve body at the desired mounting position. • Use a 3 mm hex key wrench to turn the screws. After cutting the threads remove the M4 x 20 mm socket head screws. • Fit the 10.5 2.25 mm O-ring into the groove on the back of the pressure switch.
NOTE: For stand-alone switches and other ranges, see Sheet 8757-4.
