Abstract
A thermostatic gas valve includes a thermostatic valve for regulating the temperature of a burner and a manually operable valve for regulating the flame height. The operation of the manual and thermostatic valves is controlled by a stem. The valve includes a shaft coupled to the stem that is axially movable from an off position to a first position. In the first position the shaft is rotated to rotate the manual valve. The shaft may then be axially moved to a second position and rotated to rotate the thermostatic valve to the desired position. The shaft is locked in a first non-rotatable position and prevented from being axially moved by a locking element.
