Resideo VR8204H1006 Valve
The Resideo VR8204H1006 is a professional-grade intermittent pilot gas valve designed for high-performance gas-fired appliances. This dual automatic combination valve features a 1/2" NPT inlet and outlet with a slow-opening characteristic to ensure smooth ignition and stable burner operation. Operating on a standard 24VAC gas valve circuit, it includes a factory-set 3.5" W.C. pressure regulator specifically calibrated for natural gas applications. With a capacity range of 20 to 200 CFH, this unit handles residential and light commercial demands with precision. It serves as the direct factory replacement for the Lennox 44J23, though technicians should note that pipe fittings and nipples must be field-supplied for retrofit installations. The inclusion of a 1/8" NPT pressure tapping with a plug facilitates accurate manifold pressure adjustments during commissioning. This Honeywell gas valve replacement is engineered for reliability in intermittent pilot systems, ensuring consistent flow control and safety shut-off performance.
Key Benefits for Contractors- Direct Replacement: Seamlessly replaces 44J23 and various VR8204 series models used in HVAC equipment.
- Controlled Ignition: The slow-opening regulator prevents hard starts and reduces stress on the heat exchanger.
- Compact Footprint: The 1/2" x 1/2" straight-through design fits tightly banked manifold configurations.
- Field Serviceability: Features standard 1/4" male quick-connect terminals for rapid wiring and diagnostics.
- Versatile Capacity: Rated for 20-200 CFH, making it suitable for a wide array of furnace and boiler inputs.
Is the VR8204H1006 compatible with LP conversion?
Yes, this valve can be converted for use with Liquid Propane using the appropriate Resideo conversion kit, though the regulator must be adjusted to the required manifold pressure.
Does this valve replace the VR8204A or VR8204M models?
The "H" designation indicates a slow-opening feature. While it can often replace "A" (standard opening) models in the same size class, always verify that the appliance manufacturer approves a slow-opening timing for the specific burner assembly.
What Pilot hardware is required for this valve?
This valve is designed for intermittent pilot ignition systems and requires a standard pilot gas tube connection and a compatible spark-to-pilot ignition module.
