Matco-norca mn-58-ang03 Log Lighter Gas Valve 1/2 in

Product Description

The MATCO-NORCA mn-58-ang03 is an angle-pattern log lighter gas valve designed for fireplace log lighter applications in residential and light commercial settings. Part of the 58 Series, this valve features a brass body with a PTFE seat and brass stem for dependable shutoff performance. The T-handle actuator provides a positive grip for manual gas control at the hearth. A chrome finish gives the valve a clean appearance suited for visible fireplace installations. Licensed gas technicians and plumbers install this valve as the primary shutoff supplying a log lighter burner tube.

This valve is used in natural gas or propane fireplace log lighter systems where an angle-configuration valve is required to route supply piping up through a hearth floor or into a firebox from the side. The 1/2 inch FNPT female connections on both ports make it compatible with standard iron or brass gas piping. The angle body configuration simplifies rough-in where a 90-degree change of direction is needed without adding a separate elbow fitting. It is a common replacement valve in retrofit and repair work on existing log lighter installations.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter in accordance with local codes and IFGC requirements. Shut off the main gas supply and verify zero pressure at the work area before beginning. All threaded connections must be sealed with gas-rated thread sealant or tape applied to male threads only. Test all connections for leaks with an approved leak-detection solution before returning the system to service.
