Detroit Radiant DR-V24P Gas Valve
The Detroit Radiant DR-V24P is a heavy-duty, 24V low pressure propane gas valve engineered specifically for Re-Verber-Ray infrared tube heaters and high-intensity radiant systems. This OEM replacement gas valve is factory-calibrated for Liquid Propane (LP) applications with a precise 10" WC manifold pressure setting to ensure optimal combustion efficiency and thermal output. Featuring a standard 3/4" NPT inlet and 1/2" NPT outlet, the DR-V24P provides a direct-fit solution for contractors servicing Detroit Radiant DR Series units, including PFS and NFS models. The 24-volt solenoid coil integrates seamlessly with existing flame supervision controls and ignition modules to manage fuel delivery safely in demanding industrial environments. When replacing a radiant heater gas valve, technicians must verify that the manifold pressure and voltage requirements match the heater’s rating plate exactly to prevent delayed ignition or soot accumulation. This robust assembly is designed for reliable cycling in high-ceiling warehouses and aircraft hangars.
Key Benefits for the Contractor- OEM Compatibility: Precision-manufactured as a direct Detroit Radiant heater part to ensure proper mounting and electrical alignment.
- Optimized for Propane: Factory-set for 10" Water Column, eliminating the need for complex field conversions from natural gas.
- High-Flow Ports: The 3/4" x 1/2" Gas Valve configuration supports the high-BTU requirements of industrial radiant burner heads.
- Direct Spark Integration: Designed to work with 24VAC control circuits for rapid response and safe shutdown sequences.
Case 1: How do I verify this is the correct valve for my Re-Verber-Ray heater?
Always match the part number on the existing valve body. The DR-V24P is specifically for LP gas; if your unit runs on natural gas, you likely require the DR-V24N version. Check the heater's rating label for the required manifold pressure.
Case 2: Can this valve be mounted in any orientation?
Technicians should refer to the specific DR Series manual, but generally, these valves should not be mounted upside down. Most Detroit Radiant infrared heaters require a specific mounting angle (often 20°-35°) to ensure proper drainage and pilot operation.
Case 3: What if the heater ignites but shuts down after a few seconds?
This often indicates a flame sensing issue rather than a valve failure. Check the 24V gas valve leads for consistent voltage and ensure the heater is properly grounded, as modern ignition boards require a clean ground path for flame rectification.
