Gaseous fuel burner manifold with integral pressure regulator assembly

A gaseous fuel burner manifold with integral pressure regulator assembly comprising:

• (a) a first and second spaced wall portion of said manifold defining a chamber therebetween, said chamber having at least one outlet port therein adapted for connection to the inlet of a gaseous fuel burner;
• (b) a valve body structure received through a cut-out in said first wall portion;
• (c) an inlet fitting received through a cut-out in said second wall portion, said inlet fitting having portions thereof attached to said valve body structure in said chamber and cooperating with said valve body to define an inlet passage, adapted for external connection to a source of pressurized gaseous fuel, a valving surface in said passage and a port downstream of said valving surface communicating flow therefrom to said chamber;
• (d) a valve obturator disposed for movement with respect to said valving member for controlling flow between said inlet and said downstream port;
• and,
• (e) pressure responsive means associated with said valve body structure and disposed externally of said chamber adjacent said first wall portion, said pressure responsive means operative in response to pressure changes in said chamber to effect said movement of said obturator for controlling flow over said valving surface.
