Patent ID: 8449289

Claim:
A gas burning apparatus having a burner adapted for selectively supplying one of a natural gas at a first pressure and a liquefied petroleum gas at a second pressure, the gas burning apparatus comprising a fluid flow controller having a housing with a rotatable organ disposed therein, the rotatable organ coupled and rotatable with an actuating shaft that extends from the housing, the fluid flow controller capable of assuming at least a first flow configuration and a second flow configuration, the first flow configuration being established when the rotatable organ is in a first angular position, the second flow configuration being established when the rotatable organ is in a second angular position that is different from the first angular position, upon assuming the first flow configuration a first fluid flow path is established through the rotatable organ of the fluid flow controller that is specifically configured for the delivery of the natural gas to the burner and upon assuming the second flow configuration a second fluid flow path is established through the rotatable organ of the fluid flow controller that is specifically configured for the delivery of the liquefied petroleum gas to the burner.
