METER STAR Propane Fire Pit Main Control Brass Valve — M10×1 inlet, pilot thermocouple, 25cm lead

This compact assembly combines a brass main control valve with inlet, outlet and a pilot safety circuit engineered for indoor gas-fired space heaters and fire pits. Threads are clearly specified—M10×1 inlet, 7/16" outlet and M8×1 pilot—so you can confirm fitment before ordering. The pilot connection accepts copper tube, and the wiring includes a 25 cm pilot lead plus a 20 cm spare lead with flat 4.8 mm terminals that can tie into a dump switch for controlled shutoff.

How does this valve fit my existing heater or fire pit?

The valve kit is designed to replace common main-control assemblies in room and space heaters. Check the thread sizes and mounting points against your current parts: the inlet is M10×1, the outlet is 7/16", and the pilot uses M8×1 for copper tubing. Matching those three dimensions ensures proper sealing and safe installation.

• Inlet thread: M10×1 for gas supply connection
• Outlet thread: 7/16" to feed burner manifold
• Pilot thread: M8×1 for copper pilot tubing
• Flat 4.8 mm terminals for universal connector fit

What wiring and pilot details should I expect when installing?

The pilot assembly includes two pre-attached wires: a 25 cm lead on the pilot burner and an additional 20 cm spare lead. Both terminate in flat 4.8 mm connectors so they can connect directly to thermostats, safety switches or a dump switch. The wire lengths are sized to reach typical internal heater controls without extra splicing.

• Pilot lead: 25 cm for low-voltage safety connection
• Spare lead: 20 cm for auxiliary switch or sensor
• Terminal type: flat 4.8 mm universal connectors
• Can connect to dump switch to safely shut gas flow

Is this valve safe and appropriate for indoor use?

This brass main control valve kit includes a pilot safety function and is intended for indoor gas heaters and portable space heater units. It’s built for radiant heating applications around 1500 W output and integrates the thermocouple/pilot elements required for safe shutdown if the pilot goes out. Always follow local codes and professional guidance when handling gas components.

• Material: durable brass body for corrosion resistance
• Safety: pilot thermocouple interface for shutoff
• Application: room heaters, living rooms, home offices, bedrooms
• Heating method supported: radiant gas heating up to ~1500 W

What should I check before purchasing and fitting this replacement kit?

Confirm thread compatibility, pilot tube size, and terminal type against your heater’s specifications. Verify adequate clearance around the appliance for safe installation and ensure the valve will physically fit in the heater’s control cavity. If unsure, photograph your existing valve and compare threads and connector types to this kit before ordering.

• Measure current valve threads and pilot tubing size
• Confirm 4.8 mm flat terminal compatibility with controller
• Check available space and mounting arrangement in appliance
• If needed, consult a qualified gas technician for fitment
