Hi Wallies,



Anyone able to send me a link to adjust the pilot on a Honeywell VR8200H1004 gas valve? It's on a Utica HW boiler. Existing pilot flame is way too big.



Thanks in advance, Adam

    generally

    The pilot size is generally established with an orifice inside the pilot itself. Are you having issues or trained in servicing gas equipment? If not it's better to have someone service the unit who is familiar with it...

    The pilot is on line pressure and its size

    depends on an orifice located inside the pilot. The adjustment on the gas valve controls flow of gas not pressure. I would not change the flow unless you are a professional and are using a millivolt meter to determine output millivolts from the heating of the thermocouple.
