Williams P323209 Gas Valve

As a direct OEM replacement for the discontinued P322041, VR8200C2221, and VR8200C2205, the Williams P323209 Gas Valve is an essential component for maintaining Williams Forsaire Series furnaces. This 24V redundant combination valve is specifically engineered for standing pilot natural gas systems, featuring a standard 1/2" NPT inlet and 1/2" flared outlet to ensure secure line integration. Designed to regulate manifold pressure within a precise 3-5" WC range, this valve provides the consistent fuel delivery necessary for high-efficiency burner performance in Forsaire Counterflow and Magnum models.

The Williams P323209 is built with a rugged brass body and stainless steel internal components to resist the corrosive effects of sulfur compounds found in some gas supplies. For technicians in the field, the compact footprint allows for straightforward installation in tight control cabinets, while the top-mounted pressure regulator adjustment and 1/8" NPT pressure taps simplify manifold pressure calibration during startup. This CSA and ULC certified valve integrates seamlessly with existing 30mV thermocouples, providing the reliable safety shutoff required for residential and light commercial wall furnaces.

Key Benefits for Contractors

• Simplified Troubleshooting: Dual 1/4" quick-connect terminals and top-access pressure ports allow for rapid multimeter diagnostics and manometer readings.
• Redundant Safety Logic: Dual automatic valves ensure positive gas shutoff if the pilot flame is lost or the thermostat call for heat ends.
• High Flow Capacity: Delivers up to 130,000 BTU/hr, covering a wide range of residential furnace outputs.

Common Installation Questions

Is the Williams P323209 compatible with LP conversion kits?
This specific model is factory-configured for Natural Gas. To convert a standing pilot system to Propane, a manufacturer-approved LP conversion kit (often sold separately) must be used to ensure correct orifice sizing and regulator spring tension.

Can I use this valve to replace a Honeywell VR8200 series?
Yes, the P323209 is the designated replacement for VR8200C2221 and VR8200C2205 units found in Williams heating equipment, sharing the same 24V electrical requirements and physical mounting dimensions.

Does this valve include a thermocouple?
This is the gas control valve only. While it is compatible with standard 30mV thermocouples, the pilot assembly and thermocouple should be inspected and replaced separately if they show signs of carbon buildup or millivolt drop.
