Abstract:
1. A gas saver valve, consisting of: a valve body; a regulator, the regulator positioned within the valve body to adjust a gas pressure of a gaseous fluid to flow through the valve body; a control member to adjust the regulator to selectively control the gas pressure of the gaseous fluid to flow through the valve body, the control member consisting of first and second spaced apart abutments to prevent the control member from being rotated past predetermined positions and a plurality of marked settings calibrated to correspond to a value of the gas pressure disposed between the first and second abutments, wherein the marked settings include a designation for a fully open setting at the first abutment to allow the gaseous fluid unrestricted flow through the valve body and a fully closed setting at the spaced apart second abutment to prohibit the gaseous fluid to flow through the valve body, the marked settings corresponding to an amount of gas pressure to adjust the gas pressure of the gaseous fluid to a selected calibrated value in a range of gas pressure less than a reference gas pressure in operating a heat generating device, wherein the reference gas pressure is in a range of about 3.75 inch Water Column (WC) to about 3.5 inch Water Column (WC), further wherein the marked settings are designated from the closed to open setting in consecutive gas pressures of 1.0 inch WC, 1.5 inch WC, 1.75 inch WC, 2.0 inch WC, and 2.5 inch WC; and an indicator to indicate a selected gas pressure to flow through the valve body when the indicator corresponds to a selected marked setting of the control member, wherein the indicator is positioned on the valve body.
