Heil Quaker ICP 1172822 Gas Valve

When you're out on a service call for an International Comfort Products (ICP) unit hitting a soft lockout, the Heil Quaker ICP 1172822 Gas Valve is often the final piece of the puzzle for a 2-stage heating cycle. This Honeywell VR8205Q series control is an OEM-spec dual direct ignition gas valve designed specifically for natural gas systems. It utilizes a 24V solenoid-operated first automatic valve and a diaphragm-operated second valve to provide precise manifold pressure regulation across both stages. With a high-fire factory setting of 3.2" W.C. and a low-fire setting of 1.7" W.C., this 2-stage HSI gas valve ensures the furnace maintains efficiency without over-firing or under-performing during seasonal transitions. It features standard 1/2" x 1/2" NPT inlet and outlet ports, making it a direct swap for failing Heil furnace replacement parts in models like the C8MPT and H8MPV. The top-mounted adjustments for pressure regulation and 1/4" male quick-connect terminals allow for a straightforward installation when you're diagnosing a weak flame signal or a shorted coil.

• OEM Compatibility: Exact replacement for Heil Quaker 1172822 and Honeywell VR8205Q2795, ensuring matched electrical and flow specs.
• Dual Stage Precision: Maintains optimal natural gas manifold pressure at both 1.7" and 3.2" W.C. for consistent thermal output.
• Safety Integrated: Features high-cycle redundant safety shutoff valves that meet strict AGA design certificates for residential gas-fired appliances.
• Versatile Mounting: Can be mounted 0 to 90 degrees from the upright position, offering flexibility in tight furnace cabinets.

Can this natural gas valve be converted for LP applications?
Yes, the Honeywell VR8205Q body is convertible, but you must use a specific natural to LP conversion kit (not included) to adjust the regulator spring and orifices for higher density fuel.

What are the voltage and amperage requirements for the solenoids?
This valve operates on a standard 24 VAC, 60 Hz control circuit with a typical current draw of 0.70 Amps, compatible with the majority of ICP and Heil integrated furnace or fan timer boards.

How do I troubleshoot a valve that receives voltage but won't open?
Verify the hot surface ignition (HSI) is reaching temperature; then, check the coil resistance with an ohmmeter. If the coil is open or the internal diaphragm has failed due to debris, the unit will cycle to lockout and require a full valve replacement.
