Abstract:
1. A gas pilot valve that is remotely actuated via a wireless electromagnetic signal that is transmitted from an antenna, the valve comprising: a gas in port; a gas out port; a pilot burner gas out port; an electronically actuable solenoid, the solenoid comprising electromagnetic windings that are functionally adapted to create an electromagnetic field within the solenoid when the solenoid is electrically actuated via the wireless electromagnetic signal, and the solenoid further comprising a spring-loaded push pin and a spring that is used with the push pin, the push pin spring being disposed fully within the solenoid and further disposed to urge the push pin upwardly, the solenoid further comprising a spring-loaded push pin having an uppermost end that extends above the solenoid for manually actuated resetting of the seal via the uppermost end of the push pin; a seal, the seal being normally held in a first position where gas flows from the gas in port to the gas out port; and means for remotely actuating the solenoid via either the wireless electromagnetic signal when the signal is received by an antenna or manually such that the push pin is urged downwardly by the actuated solenoid to reset the seal to the first position after the seal is in a second position where gas is prevented from flowing from the gas in port to the gas out port.
