Reznor 96310 Gas Valve

The Reznor 96310 Gas Valve (also identified as part number 096310) is a heavy-duty LP combination gas valve engineered for precise fuel regulation in Reznor AH3 unit heaters and compatible industrial heating equipment. This 24V gas valve utilizes a 1/2" NPT inlet and outlet, facilitating a standard match for propane-fired systems requiring a 0.5 Amp draw at 50/60 Hz. Designed for high-demand environments, the integrated adjustable pressure regulator is factory-set for 10.0" W.C. but can be field-calibrated between 8.0" and 12.0" W.C. to ensure optimal combustion efficiency and manifold pressure. As a liquid propane gas valve replacement, it provides the necessary safety shut-off and governing functions required to maintain uptime in commercial HVACR applications. Contractors should verify the 1/2" port size and 24VAC coil requirements against existing cabinet specifications to ensure a seamless drop-in fit during service calls.

Key Benefits for Professional Installation

• Direct OEM Match: Ensures full compatibility with Reznor AH3 units, eliminating the need for manifold modifications.
• Precise Pressure Tuning: The adjustable regulator allows for fine-tuning manifold pressure between 8" and 12" W.C. for various altitudes and installation environments.
• Propane Optimized: Specifically designed for liquid propane (LP) applications with internal components resistant to the corrosive properties of propane additives.
• Standard Threading: Features a 1/2-inch NPT connection for compatibility with existing gas train piping.
• Electrical Reliability: Features a standard 24V AC coil designed for consistent operation within the typical thermal cycles of industrial unit heaters.

Common Questions

Is the Reznor 96310 interchangeable with the 096310?
Yes, these part numbers refer to the same LP gas valve assembly. The leading zero is often omitted in various technical catalogs but the specifications remain identical.

Can this valve be used for Natural Gas systems?
No, this specific part is configured for liquid propane gas. Using an LP valve on natural gas systems without the proper conversion kit can lead to hazardous operating conditions and equipment failure.

What are the wiring requirements for this valve?
This is a 24V AC gas valve requiring a 0.5 Amp circuit. Ensure the transformer in the heater has sufficient VA capacity to handle the valve and any additional controls on the 24V circuit.

Note: Installation should only be performed by licensed professionals. Always verify compatibility with your equipment.
