Common Questions

Is the 36H32-423 compatible with standing pilot systems?
No, this valve is specifically designed for Intermittent Pilot, DSI, and HSI systems. It requires a 24V signal for operation and is not intended for use with millivolt standing pilot thermocouples.

Does this valve require a specific orientation?
This model is multi-poise, meaning it can be mounted in any position from upright to 90 degrees. However, it should not be mounted upside down.

How do I handle the pilot port for HSI or DSI systems?
The pilot port is provided with a plug. For HSI and DSI applications, the plug remains in place. For Intermittent/Proven Pilot applications, the plug is removed to connect the pilot line.
