White-Rodgers 36C94-906 Gas Valve

The White-Rodgers 36C94-906 is a versatile, slow-opening combination gas valve engineered for 24V intermittent ignition systems. This dual-stage-capable, 3/4-inch NPT gas valve is designed for high-capacity applications, featuring a flow rate capacity of up to 280,000 BTU/HR. As a veteran technician knows, the slow-opening feature is critical for preventing hard ignitions and ensuring a smoother transition to steady-state combustion in commercial and heavy residential furnaces. It operates on 24 VAC and is factory-calibrated for natural gas at a 3.5-inch water column setting, though it is field-convertible with the appropriate LP conversion kit. Its compact footprint and straight-through flow pattern make it an ideal service replacement for a wide range of standing pilot and electronic ignition models. The 36C94-906 gas control includes redundant solenoid valves to ensure positive shut-off and reliable operation under demanding cycling conditions.

• High Capacity Throughput: Rated for systems up to 280,000 BTU/HR, meeting the demands of large-scale heating equipment.
• Soft Ignition Profile: The slow-open gas valve design reduces noise and mechanical stress during the ignition sequence.
• Universal Compatibility: Includes a 1/2-inch reducer bushing, allowing for flexible White-Rodgers 36C94-906 installation on both 3/4-inch and 1/2-inch piping.
• Reliable Regulation: Maintains consistent manifold pressure to optimize combustion efficiency and burner performance.

Can the 36C94-906 be used with Liquid Propane?
Yes, while configured for natural gas, this valve can be converted using a White-Rodgers LP conversion kit. Always verify manifold pressure with a manometer after conversion.

What is the purpose of the slow-opening feature?
The slow-opening mechanism allows a limited amount of gas to reach the burners initially, ensuring a controlled light-off before reaching full 36C94-906 gas pressure flow.

Does this valve support intermittent pilot systems?
Yes, the White-Rodgers 36C94-906 24V gas valve is specifically designed for use with intermittent ignition and proven pilot systems.
