Default Start gas and fuel valves?

Ready to install turbine start gas valve and fuel valve on 120. Are these valves interchangable? Did not see any markings on them.
Thanks.

Default Hello

Yes they are interchangeable.

Make sure and hook up the tubing to the valve correctly....the inlet port is the one closest to the black shrink tubing.

Default UAT

Hello again,

Good luck with your test flights.

Hopefully you are using a UAT, if so take care to get all of the air out of it. I like to run the turbine and get the UAT into my hand and shake it, bang it around and hold it in all orientations in order to purge the air out of it.

No matter what type of fuel system plumbing you are using, it is well worth the time to check for bubble free fuel delivery.
