Copeland Comfort Control (White Rodgers) 37C72U-185 Valve
The Copeland Comfort Control (White Rodgers) 37C72U-185 Gas Control Valve is a specialized water heater thermostat engineered specifically for liquid propane (LP) gas applications. This direct replacement gas valve features a 1/2" NPT inlet and a 1/2" inverted flare outlet with a left hand thread, ensuring a secure, leak-free connection in residential water heating systems. For precise manifold pressure, the internal regulator is factory-set to 10.0" W.C., providing consistent flow to both the main burner and the 1/4" compression pilot port. With a 4.5" immersion length and a 1-1/4" shank, this LP gas control valve is built for standard tank installations. For system safety, it incorporates a single cycle E.C.O. (Energy Cut-Off) designed to interrupt gas flow if water temperatures exceed 195°F. This unit is an essential HVACR replacement part for technicians needing to restore reliable temperature regulation and pilot safety to LP-fired units.
