Expert Review
Daniel Foster Catering Equipment Maintenance Expert
Expert Review
If your salamander grill's pilot light keeps going out or the burner just won't catch, a faulty safety valve is often the culprit. It's the brain of the gas system. This AF889 is the official Thor part for the job, but remember, any work on a gas appliance is strictly for a Gas Safe registered engineer. Safety first, always.
Installation & Maintenance
- Must be fitted by a Gas Safe engineer.
- Ensure gas supply is isolated before installation.
- A qualified engineer must perform a leak test post-installation.
- Include in your annual gas appliance safety check.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: My salamander grill won't stay lit. Will this part fix it?
A: A faulty safety valve is a very common cause of this issue. However, we recommend a diagnosis by a qualified engineer to be certain.
Q: Can I fit this gas valve myself?
A: No. By law, all work on commercial gas appliances, including fitting this part, must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
Q: How do I know if this is the correct valve for my grill?
A: This valve is a direct replacement for Thor salamander grill models GL163-N and GL163-P. Check the data plate on your appliance to confirm your model number.
Did You Know?
- A safety valve prevents gas from flowing to the main burner if the pilot light is not lit, preventing dangerous gas build-ups.
- This component is also known as a flame failure device (FFD) in some appliances.
- Regular servicing by a Gas Safe engineer can identify a failing valve before it causes significant downtime.
