Heil Quaker ICP 1176929 Gas Valve

When you are troubleshooting an ignition failure on an International Comfort Products (ICP) or Heil Quaker furnace, the ICP 1176929 Gas Valve is the specified OEM replacement for maintaining factory flow rates and safety timing. This is a 1/2" 24V 3.5" Natural Gas Valve featuring a 50/60 Hz solenoid designed for precise manifold pressure regulation. Whether you are dealing with a F8MXL0451408A1, N80VSL, or N80ESN series unit, this valve provides the correct 24V electrical interface and physical dimensions to ensure a drop-in fit without modifying the gas train.

Veteran technicians know that aftermarket "universal" valves can cause nuisance lockouts or improper combustion under varying load conditions. By sticking with a genuine ICP furnace gas valve, you ensure the internal mechanical regulators align with the manufacturer's manifold pressure specifications, typically factory-set for 3.5" W.C. for natural gas. This 24V gas valve integrates seamlessly with your hot surface ignition (HSI) or spark ignition system, providing the reliable gas delivery needed for consistent burner performance across ICP replacement parts inventory.

• Direct OEM Compatibility: Specifically engineered for Heil Quaker, Arcoaire, Tempstar, Comfortmaker, and KeepRite equipment.
• Precise Gas Regulation: Maintains a 3.5" water column output for efficient furnace operation and proper flame rectification.
• Technician-Friendly Installation: Standard 1/2" NPT connections and compact 3.5" footprint minimize labor time on high-efficiency furnace repairs.
• Critical Safety Compliance: Meets original factory standards for 24V natural gas valve solenoids, ensuring reliable shut-off and ignition cycles.

Does this valve replace the White-Rodgers or Honeywell versions?
Yes, the 1176929 Gas Valve is the current factory-authorized replacement for several older ICP gas valve models, including cross-references to White-Rodgers 36J24618. Always verify your specific model number on the rating plate.

How do I confirm the valve has failed?
Check for 24V at the solenoid terminals during the ignition trial after the inducer has reached full speed and the pressure switch has closed. If the furnace gas valve receives power but fails to click or release gas to the burners, the internal solenoid or mechanical seat has likely failed.

Can I use this for Propane (LP) applications?
While this is a natural gas valve, it can typically be converted for LP using an authorized manufacturer's conversion kit. However, we recommend verifying the kit part number against your furnace's technical guide to ensure proper spring and orifice compatibility.
