Abstract: The present invention provides gas control valve including a valve body having a gas inlet, a gas outlet, and a gas passage between the inlet and outlet, and including a valve control element for controlling the flow of gas between the inlet and the outlet. The valve control element includes valve stem have a cam follower in the form of a pin projecting laterally there-from, and a bead 8 at one end of the stem bearing an O-ring that is able to seal against an inside wall surface of the body to seal the gas outlet. The cam follower pin on the stem engages with a cam surface of the valve body. Rotation of the valve control element causes the cam follower pin to co-operate with the cam surface and displace the valve control element to open or close the valve. The present invention also provides a gas appliance having one or more gas burners and a gas control including at least one control value according to the invention.

Abstract: A gas control assembly for controlling supply of fuel gas to a gas burner. The assembly includes a housing having an elongate body with a longitudinally extending gas flow passage, an inlet into the passage for gas communication with a manifold, and an outlet from the passage for directing a regulated flow of gas from the manifold to the burner. A safety valve is mounted in a valve chamber, within the gas flow passage, an is operable to control flow of gas through the gas flow passage from the inlet toward the outlet. An actuating member is mounted in the passage for guided movement along the passage to operate the valve. A regulator valve is mounted in a further valve chamber in the body and is operable to regulate flow of gas to the outlet. The regulator valve lies in a plane containing the longitudinal axis of the gas flow passage.
