White-Rodgers 36J22-214 Gas Valve

The White-Rodgers 36J22-214 Gas Valve is a single stage gas valve designed for high-efficiency performance in modern HSI/DSI ignition systems. Built with a compact footprint to fit tight furnace vestibules, this 24V gas valve features a fast opening characteristic for consistent burner ignition. As a direct replacement for 51H25 and the obsolete 36G22-214, this combination gas control offers the versatility required for field service across multiple OEM brands including Carrier, Trane, and York. The unit comes factory-calibrated for natural gas at 3.5" W.C. but includes an LP gas conversion kit to handle propane applications. With a 1/2" x 1/2" NPT configuration and 140,000 BTU capacity, this valve utilizes inlet and outlet pressure taps for precise manifold pressure adjustments, ensuring the system operates within manufacturer specifications. The quiet redundant magnetic operator provides reliable flow control, making it a preferred choice for residential and light commercial HVAC furnace repair.
