💡 Tech Tip
-
Always check that the existing gas valve is dual-solenoid, 25V, NAT. Replacing with one of a different voltage or solenoid configuration can lead to malfunction or safety risk.
-
Use proper thread sealant rated for gas on pipe fittings; ensure valves are not overtightened which could damage threads.
-
After installation, verify gas pressure settings and operate through ignition/burner cycle to check that both solenoids open/close properly.
-
If converting between Natural Gas and LP, ensure you use the correct orifice / conversion kit. The vendor listings mention conversion kits (NAT ↔ LP) #51-1059 and #51-1060.
