Abstract
A gas valve assembly for use with a gas grill includes a t-shaped manifold with an inlet fluid port that branches out into a pair of valve ports. A pair of gas valves each have an outwardly extending neck that is received within the valve ports of the manifold. A stop means locates the valves a predetermined distance from one another to improve manufacturability. An anti-rotation means minimizes rotation between each valve and the manifold.
