White-Rodgers 764-742 Pilot Valve

The White-Rodgers 764-742 is a professional-grade 1/2" gas pilot safety valve specifically engineered for high-demand gas fireplace and space heating applications. As a thermocouple operated pilot valve, this unit provides 100% safety shut-off in the event of a pilot outage, making it an essential component for system reliability. This model is the direct replacement for White-Rodgers 764-702 and is a functional equivalent to the Jade Controls J-100 series. Designed for flexibility in the field, it features multipoise mounting capabilities, allowing for installation in horizontal, vertical, or 90-degree orientations.

Built with technical durability in mind, the 764-742 includes a redesigned housing with 100 PSI over-pressure protection, an integrated inlet screen, and a pipe stop to prevent over-threading. This non-regulated gas valve supports both Natural Gas and Liquid Propane (LP) with a standard capacity of up to 142,000 BTU. The dual-inlet design, featuring a plugged rear inlet and the inclusion of two 1/2" x 3/8" reducer bushings, ensures seamless HVAC replacement part integration across various equipment configurations. For contractors troubleshooting pilot ignition issues, this valve operates on a standard 20-30 mV millivolt signal from the thermocouple.

• Universal Compatibility: Serves as a drop-in replacement for the discontinued 764-702 and Jade J-100 valves.
• Field Versatility: Dual-inlet design and included reducer bushings allow for straightforward adaptable piping.
• Enhanced Safety: Features 100% safety shut-off and 100 PSI internal protection to prevent catastrophic failures.
• Flexible Orientation: Multipoise mounting allows for upside-down or vertical configurations in tight fireplace cabinets.
• High Capacity: Rated for 142,000 BTU (Natural Gas) and 200,880 BTU (LP) to handle large-scale residential burners.

Is the 764-742 compatible with both LP and Natural Gas?
Yes, this valve is designed for use with either fuel source. It is a non-regulated safety control, so ensuring the proper orifice and supply pressure at the appliance manifold is critical for conversion.

What is the difference between the 764-742 and the 764-702?
The 764-742 is the updated production version of the 764-702. It features identical mounting specs but includes modern hardware updates like an inlet screen and enhanced pressure protection.

Does this valve require a specific thermocouple?
It operates on a standard 20-30 mV thermocouple connection. If you are experiencing drop-outs, verify that your thermocouple is fully seated and generating at least 25mV under load.
