Gas control assembly

A gas control assembly for a forced air furnace which functions to effectively shield flames from stray currents and provides for accurate burner alignment which comprises in combination:

• (a) a support frame having a top surface and two contiguous side walls which define an enclosure with said side walls each containing a horizontal slot,
• (b) a planar one piece burner assembly having two opposite side edges with one of said edges containing indexing means for positioning said assembly in a predetermined location within the enclosure of said support frame, with said side edges being adapted to mate in the slots of the side walls of said support frame,
• (c) an elongated gas manifold having a closed end and an open end which is configured to mate with said burner assembly to provide a source of combustible fuel to each of said burners with said manifold being connected in fixed engagement to said support at its closed end through a hole in one side of said support frame and by a bracket at its open end which is attached to the other side of said support frame.

• (a) a support frame which includes two oppositely disposed side walls which define a space therebetween,
• (b) a planar one piece burner assembly having two opposite side edges with one of said edges containing indexing means for positioning said assembly in a predetermined location in said space between said side walls of said support frame,
• (c) an elongated gas manifold having a closed end and an open end and which is configured to mate with said burner assembly to provide a source of combustible fuel to each of said burners with said manifold being connected in fixed engagement to said support at its closed end through a hole in one side wall of said support frame and by a bracket at its open end which is attached to the other side wall of said support frame.
