Lennox 13H06 Gas Valve

The Lennox 13H06 Gas Valve is a critical OEM replacement component designed for high-performance gas-fired heating systems. This direct ignition dual automatic valve is engineered to manage fuel flow with precision, ensuring consistent manifold pressure and reliable burner engagement. Rated for 24V AC operation, the unit features a 1/2" NPT inlet and outlet configuration, making it a standard fit for a wide range of Lennox residential and commercial furnaces. The valve is pre-regulated for natural gas at 2.7" W.C., providing the specific caloric output required by original equipment manufacturer specifications.

As a veteran technician knows, 13H06 is technically identical and 100% interchangeable with the Lennox 13H0601 part number. By utilizing this OEM Lennox replacement part, contractors maintain the intended combustion profile and safety parameters of the appliance. Its robust construction includes dual internal solenoids for redundant safety shutoff and an integrated manual gas cock for easier field servicing and pressure testing. Whether you are performing a seasonal tune-up or a critical mid-winter repair, the 13H06 gas control valve ensures the system operates within its designed heating capacity and efficiency ratings without the compatibility risks associated with generic alternatives.

• Dual Solenoid Safety: Features a dual valve design with a regulator to provide secondary shutoff protection during operation.
• Standardized Electrical Specs: Operates on standard 24V 60Hz furnace control circuits with a 0.5 Amp draw.
• Cross-Reference Accuracy: Fully replaces and matches all specifications of Lennox part number 13H0601.

Common Questions

Can the 13H06 gas valve be converted to Liquid Propane (LP)?
While this model is factory-set for natural gas at 2.7" W.C., it can typically be field-converted using a compatible OEM conversion kit. Always verify the specific orifice and spring requirements for the furnace model before adjusting manifold pressure.

What are the symptoms of a failing 13H06 valve?
Common indicators include the igniter glowing without flame onset, inconsistent "chattering" sounds from the solenoids, or manifold pressures that drift significantly from the 2.7" W.C. specification.

Is this a direct replacement for the Honeywell VR8205 series?
Yes, the 13H06 is the Lennox-branded equivalent of specific Honeywell VR8205 models. Using the 13H06 ensures you are meeting the exact voltage and pressure requirements mandated by Lennox engineering.
