Gees, that's one assembly and there's no way to take it out without taking out the gas line...
3 questions:
1) I will likely order the controller now... If that does not work I will do the HSI thing. I would like to stay away from dismantling gas piping.
Question, what do you think about this replacement controller:
50E47-843 White Rodgers UNIVERSAL IGNITION MODULE **Replaces many others... see replacement cross-reference here** - HVAC Products Any experience with it? Would it work ok, as they say that it is?
Is it pin-to-pin compatible with the Robert Shaw I am replacing: HS780-34NL-306A?
Just in case that you know.
2) If/ when I want to reach the HSI to replace or whatever - can you tell me how the piping is normally screwed?
I have the pipe connected like this:
elbow-pipe-connector-pipe-GV (that surely cannot turn)
How would I disconnect? My quess is that one of the pipe screws or the connector screw in in the opposite direction.
Sorry I am a total rookie at screw-in piping...
I want to make sure that I am turning the right piece and not crack/ force anything.
3) I know how to check for gas leaks. What do you recommend to use for connection sealing? I suppose that the tape used for water pipes is not the best for this purpose.
Thanks a lot.
