Control valves for heaters and fireplace devices

A control valve assembly for use in a heater comprising:

• a user interface indicating an OFF position, a Pilot Position, a Manual Position, and an Automatic position, the user interface comprising a knob rotatable between positions;
• a shaft coupled to the user interface at an outer end of the shaft;
• a disk on the shaft, positioned inward from the user interface, and configured to move with the user interface;
• a valve housing and a valve body within the valve housing, the valve body mounted to the shaft and configured to rotate with respect to the valve housing in response to rotation of the user interface,
• an igniter having a sensor, the igniter capable of repeatedly firing an electrode when the sensor is activated;
• and
• a solenoid valve positioned adjacent an inner end of the shaft;
• wherein the control valve is configured such that advancing the user interface towards the valve housing causes the disk to connect with the sensor and the solenoid valve to open to allow fuel to flow into the valve housing.
