we did the adjustment as the sheet told us to...turn clockwise until snug (with a 1/2" wrench)..it says not to overtighten as to not cause damage...how snug is snug (tightened until it would not turn easily) should we try to tighten a little more?

Gene,

Thanks for your assistance. I adjusted the orifice until it would not turn anymore and the flames are behaving now. Again, thank you...you saved me the costs of a new safety valve (upwards of $ 100)...

Have a wonderful holiday season.

I'm glad you were able to fix it.

Merry Christmas and Happy New year!
