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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this valve fit my existing heater or fire pit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInlet thread: M10×1 for gas supply connection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOutlet thread: 7\/16\" to feed burner manifold\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePilot thread: M8×1 for copper pilot tubing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFlat 4.8 mm terminals for universal connector fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat wiring and pilot details should I expect when installing?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pilot assembly includes two pre-attached wires: a 25 cm lead on the pilot burner and an additional 20 cm spare lead.
