Heil Quaker ICP 1177834 Gas Valve
The Heil Quaker ICP 1177834 Gas Valve is an essential OEM replacement component engineered for precision fuel regulation in residential and light commercial HVAC systems. This 24V gas valve is factory-calibrated for natural gas applications with a set point of 2.9 inches WC (Water Column), ensuring consistent burner performance and optimal combustion efficiency. Built with a 3/4 inch NPT inlet and outlet, it integrates seamlessly into standard gas lines where high-capacity flow is required. As a direct ignition dual automatic valve, it satisfies rigorous safety codes by providing redundant shutoff protection during the heating cycle. Designed to replace aging White-Rodgers 36H32-403 and Honeywell VR8205 series controls, this valve features a manual ON-OFF knob and top-accessible 1/4" quick-connect terminals for streamlined field diagnostics and installation. This ICP furnace gas valve maintains stable manifold pressure even under fluctuating supply conditions, mitigating common ignition failures and pilot outages in Heil, Tempstar, and Comfortmaker equipment.
Key Benefits- Precise Pressure Regulation: Maintains a 2.9" WC natural gas output to prevent over-firing and ensure clean combustion.
- Universal 3/4" Porting: Standard 3/4 in. NPT connections provide maximum flow capacity for high-BTU gas-fired appliances.
- Dual Safety Solenoids: Features two automatic operators for a redundant safety shutoff that meets modern HVAC safety standards.
- OEM Compatibility: A direct drop-in replacement for Heil Quaker and International Comfort Products branded furnaces.
- Enhanced Durability: Rugged construction designed for high-cycle applications in hot surface or direct spark ignition systems.
Is the ICP 1177834 compatible with propane (LP) systems?
This specific model is factory-configured for natural gas. If LP gas utilization is required, a compatible conversion kit (sold separately) must be installed by a licensed technician to adjust the regulator and orifices.
Can I use this to replace a 1/2 inch gas valve?
The 1177834 features a 3/4" inlet and outlet. If your current manifold uses 1/2" piping, you will need step-down bushings or reducers, though we recommend verifying the BTU requirements of your unit before down-sizing.
What are the electrical requirements for this valve?
This is a standard 24VAC gas control. It is designed to interface directly with 24V furnace control boards or ignition modules using 1/4" male quick-connect terminals.
