Jotul GF 600 firelight direct vent installed...BUT

[DAKSY]

Hmm... No click means the gas valve is not opening to allow gas flow. Your millivolt drop
indicates that the voltage is getting to the magnets. They're just not opening.
Have you tried "rapping" on the side of the gas valve with a plastic screwdriver handle?
The magnets may be stuck together after years of non-use. a good rap or two might
free them up. Do this with the switch in the ON position & don't be overly aggressive...

Pilot lit...turned to on position.
switch to ON position...no click..however small flicker of flame at front of burner...tap with handle , no change

Toggle switch between off / on same results. no change in flame when turning from lo to high

Is it possible to have not installed the regulator tower improperly? No directions in booklet to convert back to NG just a photo for going Propane.

I might be over thinking

The small cone shown I figure 'C'
I used the white plastic one included there was also a copper colored one as well in which I didn't use

Did you remove EVERYTHING in the face of the valve when you repalced the regulator head?

Yes everything removed

 

[DavePa]

Anyone know of Ohm test that can be done to check the operation of a SIT valve..820 Nova gas valve?

 

[DAKSY]

I believe you jump the middle terminal to the TH terminal. 3 Ohms max.

Using my old needle meter...Showing just over 3 Ohms

we now have a flame!

Removed and reapplied the regulator

Will once again check for leaks and make adjustments

Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

I'll post back once all is put back together

you shouldn't be dealing with the spring and cap, not field serviceable parts.
you need a fully encapsulated regulator any time you do a change.

 

[Ironhorse74]

Heat source do you have a SIT part number for a fully encapsulated natural gas regulator? I have never seen one.

 

[Ironhorse74]

Daksy the 3 ohm reading is the specification from SIT. I once took a multimeter and checked a full box of new replacement valves. Very few of them were within specifications. Even tried different multimeters with the same result.

If it doesn't work send me a PM. I have a new SIT factory set up for gas for the tube burner, before the flat plate "Jotul burner", GF600 DV on a shelf in the garage. Bought a trailer load of Jotul gas stoves years ago and when we un-crated the GF600 the front casting was busted in shipping. Stripped it down and shelved the parts and scrapped the castings.

That must be an early 2000's stove.

Interesting, that would have been a much easier change over. That parts, all being separate, where in the change over bag. Of course, they were factory installed and the previous owner converted to LP.

Yes a 2004 model I believe
