White-Rodgers 36H65-401 Gas Valve
The White-Rodgers 36H65-401 is a high-capacity, two-stage gas valve engineered for precision fuel regulation in commercial and residential heating systems. Designed as a universal solution for intermittent ignition, direct spark ignition (DSI), and hot surface ignition (HSI) applications, this 3/4" x 3/4" NPT valve provides a maximum pressure rating of 1/2 PSI. The slow-open characteristics ensure smooth burner transitions, reducing mechanical stress and audible noise during start-up. This 24 VAC redundant valve is factory-set for natural gas but includes a LP conversion kit, making it a versatile choice for multi-fuel environments.
For field technicians, the 36H65-401 features built-in inlet and outlet screens to protect against debris-related solenoid failure and tamper-resistant screws for long-term calibration stability. It serves as a direct upgrade or replacement for the 36E96-314 and other 36H series controls. Its straight-through flow design and 1/4" O.D. pilot fitting simplify retrofitting in tight furnace cabinets while maintaining high BTU throughput for larger appliances.
Key Benefits:- Multi-Ignition Compatibility: Works seamlessly with HSI, DSI, and Proven Pilot systems for broad application flexibility.
- Dual Fuel Versatility: Field-convertible between NAT and LP gas with the included regulator adjustment kit.
- Enhanced Safety: Redundant solenoid design provides a secondary internal shutoff for reliable gas flow control.
- High BTU Capacity: Rated for high-performance heating, replacing lower-capacity valves in 3/4" piping configurations.
- Serviceability: Electric on/off switch and clearly marked 1/2" NPT bushings facilitate faster diagnostic and installation workflows.
- Can this replace a standing pilot gas valve? No, the 36H65-401 is specifically designed for intermittent or electronic ignition systems and is not compatible with standing pilot burners.
- Does this valve come with conversion springs? Yes, it is supplied with the necessary hardware to convert from natural gas to liquid propane regulation.
- What are the pressure adjustment ranges? The low-stage regulator is typically adjustable from 1.0" to 3.5" W.C., while the high-stage ranges from 2.5" to 5.0" W.C. for natural gas.
