Empire LP gas stove valve removal
I have discovered that after replacing the thermocouple has been tried, that
the valve itself on this unit must be changed. It's a 19 year old Empire RH-340-3V5. There's a place nearby that has a generic valve that will replace this one, they say, and it's not too expensive to consider. So, I'm trying to save a few bucks, and at least remove the old valve to take it down to the parts/service place. I'm at the point where there is just the manifold pipe still in the valve unit - everything else is disconnected. I don't know where I'm supposed to disconnect it. Does the pipe come off the valve altogether? Is there a screw on the valve body for this? Or do I try to take the whole manifold pipe off? I have tried to crank the valve around with my hands, but the pipe is in there pretty good, so they didn't budge. The pipe is just threaded on that end, into the valve body. There is a what looks like a bolt or pin nearby the entrypoint of the pipe on the valve labelled "PRESS TAP". TIA - Mark |
