D&G Finishing stove

[cbmapleguy]

Hi. Anyone know what this little valve is called? It's off an old D&G finishing stove.

9551

There are 4 long burners and one 1 going across the 4.

On the valve
- the main out is going to the manifold connecting the 4 burners
- one nipple has a thermo coupler
- the other nipple is feeding the burner cross the 4 burners.

If we connect the propane directly to the 4 burner manifold, it works, but the flame isn't burning clean. Does this valve play a role in a clean flame? If we put the propane through the valve, the 1 burner works great. but the other 4 won't light.

I was doing some reading. A dirty propane flame just means a lack on air?

Cheers,

Well, its from Eugene Binette Cie Ltee in Quebec. Its probably a regulating valve, designed to adjust the flame according to temperature, possibly input temperature? Did you try calling the number, they appear to still be in business. If, when using it, you aren't getting a clean flame its very possible that it's internally dirty...propane isn't a clean gas after all.

Cheers,
