The use of the incorrect fluid may cause damage to the seals and a loss of valve function. After re-assembly of the valve into the block, the gap between the nylon thrust washer item 6 and the valve handle must be checked. A gap of between 0. 25mm and 0. 5 mm must be present. This gap may be achieved by selecting the correct thrust washer thickness. A range of thrust washers in different thicknesses may be obtained from Ultramagic. Failure to set this gap may result in a failure of the valve to switch off the main burner after operation. When the valve has been re-assembled into the valve block, the valve to block joint and the position where the valve stem exits the valve body must be pressure tested. To achieve this, connect the burner to a 7 Bar (100 psi) air supply and check the joints using soapy water. If any bubbles are detected, then the problem must be rectified before further burner use.
