Questions people ask us

What size log set is it for?

How is the pilot lit?

It has a standing pilot that you light by hand. The instructions warn that connecting 110 volt power will damage the valve.

Can I add a wall switch?

Yes, the instructions cover the optional WAF-VK1 hearth/wall switch, which plugs into the valve.

Is it right for my fireplace?

The fireplace and log set manuals decide what valve can be used. Send us the models and we will check before you order.
