Raypak 004306F Gas Valve

For veteran HVACR technicians and pool contractors, the Raypak 004306F Gas Valve is an essential OEM replacement component for maintaining gas-fired heaters. This 24V electronic combination gas valve is specifically engineered for intermittent ignition (IID) systems utilizing liquid propane (LP). It is factory-set for an 11" WC (Water Column) manifold pressure and features a standard 3/4" NPT inlet and outlet configuration to ensure high-capacity flow and robust durability in demanding outdoor environments. The slow-opening metal construction provides the reliable fuel regulation required for Raypak atmospheric digital heaters and various R-series commercial units.

Compatibility is critical for field service efficiency. The 004306F Propane Gas Valve is primarily used with Raypak models 055A, 055B, 105A, and 105B. It also serves as a direct drop-in for larger IID pool heater units, including the R206A, R266A, R336A, and R406A series, along with commercial counterparts like models 268, 334, and 404. This replacement gas valve for pool heaters ensures precise combustion control, restoring the original performance of the heating system by integrating seamlessly with the existing 24VAC control circuit and intermittent pilot ignition hardware.

• OEM Compatibility: Designed specifically for Raypak and Rheem propane heaters, including the Versa and Digital Atmospheric series.
• Optimized Pressure Control: Pre-calibrated for 11 inch WC propane applications to maintain stable burner performance.
• Standardized Threading: Features 3/4 inch NPT ports for direct integration with existing gas manifold plumbing.
• Robust IID Integration: Engineered to work with 24V electronic ignition modules to ensure safe and consistent pilot lighting.

Is the Raypak 004306F compatible with natural gas?
No, this specific part number is a dedicated propane gas valve. For natural gas applications, a different orifice and valve assembly are required to meet the lower manifold pressure specifications.

Can I use this valve on a millivolt ignition system?
This is an electronic combination gas valve designed for 24V intermittent ignition (IID) systems. It is not compatible with standing pilot millivolt systems which require a different thermopile-driven gas valve.

What are the symptoms of a failing Raypak gas valve?
Common field indicators include the heater failing to ignite despite a working igniter, inconsistent burner flame, or a "no flame" fault code on the digital display despite verified gas supply pressure.
