Wayne 62246-004 Gas Valve

The Wayne 62246-004 Gas Valve is a critical combustion control component engineered for precise fuel regulation in high-demand environments. This direct spark ignition gas valve operates on a 24V AC circuit and is pre-configured for a 3.5" WC output, making it a drop-in solution for natural gas burner configurations. Designed with a standard 1/2" x 3/4" NPT connection profile, it ensures seamless integration into manifold setups found in P265 and P265F series burners. For field technicians and contractors, the Wayne 62246-004 is technically identical to the Honeywell VR8304M3194, providing cross-compatibility without requiring bracket modifications or orifice re-sizing in standard Wayne burner replacements. Its dual-solenoid design provides redundant safety shut-off, ensuring reliable performance in both commercial and industrial heating applications. Whether you are servicing a Wayne combustion system or a Zesto deck oven, this valve maintains consistent manifold pressure to prevent flame lift-off or soot buildup during high-fire cycles.

Key Benefits

• Standard Fitting Sizes: Features 1/2" inlet and 3/4" outlet threading for straightforward installation into existing gas lines.
• Reliable 24V Logic: Integrates perfectly with standard HVAC 24VAC control circuits and ignition modules.
• Broad Application: Primary control valve for P265 burner series and other Wayne Combustion power burners.

Common Questions

Is the 62246-004 compatible with propane (LP) systems?
This specific model is calibrated for natural gas with a 3.5" WC setting. To use this valve with LP, a manufacturer-approved conversion kit must be installed by a licensed technician to adjust the regulator and spring tension for the higher manifold pressure required by propane.

Does this valve replace the VR8304M3194 exactly?
Yes, the Wayne 62246-004 is a direct replacement for the VR8304M3194. The electrical connections, physical dimensions, and pressure ratings are identical, allowing for a standard "pull and replace" procedure.

What are the wiring requirements for the 24V coil?
The valve utilizes standard 1/4" male quick-connect terminals. Ensure your transformer provides at least 0.5 to 0.7 Amps of dedicated current to the 24V gas valve coil to prevent voltage drops during the ignition sequence.
