Finally a Simple Way to Light Your Torches

NOTE: Please read these instructions in their entirety BEFORE beginning installation. Make sure that the torch is installed at least 8 feet off the ground, is not installed or operated within 10 feet of a combustible surface on any side and not under any combustible surface.
Note: All installations should conform to all local plumbing and electrical codes.

Electrical requirement: 110 volt grounded outlet. Gas requirement: At least 40,000 BTU’s of natural gas @ 7” water column. This product is tested and designed for natural gas but can be used with LP gas. The gas valve within the control box is A.G.A design certified to ANSI standards.

Mount the control box with all connections facing down. The control box is designed to be installed outdoors.

Connect the inlet and outlet gas connections using 1/2" flare connections. Make sure you connect the gas inlet to the gas SUPPLY and gas outlet to the side going to the torch. A minimum supply of 40,000 BTU’s of natural gas is required for the torch to operate correctly.

Make sure that the orange wire is enclosed in a protective sleeve either plastic tubing or PVC pipe to protect it from any nicks or cuts. If the orange coating is removed, you will experience a “short” and the electrode may not have enough power to operate. Run the orange lead wire inside the post of the torch and plug it into the electrode in the top of the torch.

Final connection and operation: When all of the connections are made and the torch is installed, plug in the 110-volt plug to an electrical outlet. The electrically operated gas control valve is designed to be used by a remote switch that controls the plug. When the switch is in the “on” position, power is sent to the control box which opens the gas valve and starts the automatic sparking at the electrode. Do not touch the electrode while the switch is on! When gas reaches the torch and ignites, the electrode senses ignition and automatically stops sparking. To shut off the appliance, simply turn off the electric switch and it will cause the gas valve to close and shut off the automatic ignitor.

NOTE: The manual “on-off” gas valve at the top of the post is to remain open at all times when the torch is combined with the automatic gas ignition system. ALSO There are no user-serviceable parts inside. There is the danger of electrocution if you open the control box! If you are experiencing problems, check the troubleshooting points below, then call the number below for assistance. Opening the control box will void the warranty!

Troubleshooting:

No spark to the electrode: Make sure you have power to the plug, is the switch in the “on” position? Is there a nick or cut in the orange lead? Is the ceramic around the electrode broken? Is the electrical outlet grounded?

No gas coming out or delayed ignition: The first time you light the torch there will be air in the line and it may take a minute or so for gas to get to the tip. If after two minutes, you still do not have ignition, check the gas supply. Is the gas supply on? Is the manual “on-off” valve at the top of the torch turned on? Is gas getting to the control box?
