FAQs
What does the 'S/O' designation mean?
The 'S/O' designation indicates a specific configuration within the PEL 22 series, referring to its suitability for horizontal installation in certain gas control systems.
Can this valve be installed vertically?
No, this specific model (22S/o) is designed and intended exclusively for horizontal installation. Attempting vertical installation may lead to improper function or safety hazards.
What is the function of the thermoelectric safety device?
The thermoelectric safety device contains a magnet that senses the pilot flame. If the pilot flame goes out, the magnet de-energizes, closing the gas valve and shutting off the gas supply to prevent leaks.
How do I adjust the flame using this valve?
The valve provides fine flame modulation, allowing for smooth, infinite adjustment. Turn the control knob connected to the D-shaped shaft to move the flame from high heat to a low simmer.
What are the dimensions of the shaft and outlet flange?
The shaft size is a D shape measuring 10x8mm, and the outlet flange type is M20x1.5mm.
Is this valve compatible with all commercial gas appliances?
It is compatible with commercial kitchen equipment designed for horizontal gas control valves with matching connection types (M20x1.5mm outlet, M9x1 thermocouple, 10x8mm D-shaft). Always verify specifications before purchase.
How often should this valve be serviced?
While the valve itself requires minimal user maintenance, it is recommended to have your commercial kitchen equipment, including gas components, professionally inspected and serviced annually or as per manufacturer guidelines.
Troubleshooting
Gas not flowing to the burner.
Ensure the gas supply is turned on. Check that the thermocouple is properly connected and generating a signal. Verify the pilot light is lit and the safety magnet is engaged.
Pilot light will not stay lit.
Check the thermocouple for damage or proper positioning near the pilot flame. Ensure the pilot orifice is clean and not obstructed. The thermoelectric safety device may be faulty if the pilot light consistently goes out.
Inconsistent flame height or temperature control.
Ensure the valve's flame modulation mechanism is not sticking. Check for any blockages in the gas line or burner ports. If control is erratic, the valve may need replacement.
Gas smell detected.
Immediately turn off the gas supply to the appliance. Do not operate any electrical switches or create sparks. Ventilate the area and contact a qualified technician for inspection and repair.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This valve is designed for horizontal installation. Ensure the gas line and appliance are powered off before attempting installation. Connect the gas supply to the inlet port and the burner assembly to the outlet port, following equipment-specific manuals. The thermocouple should be connected to the designated port (M9x1). The control shaft (10x8mm D-shape) will interface with the control knob.
Compatibility: This valve is a replacement part specifically for commercial kitchen equipment (cooktops, griddles, ranges) designed with a horizontal gas valve manifold. Verify that the outlet flange (M20x1.5mm), thermocouple connection (M9x1), and shaft size (10x8mm D-shape) match your existing setup or equipment specifications.
Care: Since this is a gas control valve, routine user care is minimal. Keep the area around the valve clean and free of debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Regular professional maintenance of the kitchen equipment, including checks of the gas valve system, is recommended to ensure optimal performance and safety.
