    Can this be used for any gas log fireplace?
    1 Answer
    Absolutely not. This pilot kit will only work with vented gas log burners installed in masonry wood fireplaces with a large enough opening to accommodate the addition of this pilot kit without issue.

    Is there a way to hard wire this and go without batteries? An external 3v power source?
    1 Answer
     The included battery pack can be swapped out for the Dexen Electronic Ignition Valve Wall Adapter. This 3 volt transformer will supply the control module with power, eliminating the need to replace batteries.

    Can this valve kit be used with Fire Glass?

    The valve itself most certainly can, however the burner you are using the valve with must have provisions for glass to be used.

    Love the Dexen MVK-EI Pilot Valve Assembly
    This came with more accessories than needed to make it work for any job. I was replacing a valve that had gone bad that used a pilot light that was on full time and I wanted to have one with an electric start. It took no time at all to install and with the fireplace already having power inside it for the fan, I was able to use the 3v Dexen power supply instead of batteries.
    The manual is so short not a lot of questions can be answered, like what adjustments can be done to the valve.

    Great product
    Product is great! Functions nicely and the flame sensor and safeties work seamlessly.
    Easy of install, easy to understand mostly, and functions great. Need better cut sheet. The description isn't the best and the diagrams are poor.

    We love our electronic ignition gas log system!
    After trying a standing flame pilot system, we upgraded to the Dexen electronic ignition design and really like it! I had a few installation issues but, with the excellent help of this store's customer service folks, everything was worked out to my satisfaction. Now, with the push of a button, we have a nice fire in just a few seconds. We have only had it for a short time and so far it has been totally reliable. The Dexen MVK-EI electronic ignition pilot system is a good value and I highly recommend it.
