Description
The Gas Valve VR8204H is an essential component designed for use in heating systems, specifically cast iron gas-fired boilers used for forced hot water applications. This particular gas valve, manufactured by Spark Natural, is engineered for reliable and precise control of the flow of natural gas within the boiler system. It is suitable for use with boilers in the DXL-50 to DXL-150 range, making it ideal for a variety of residential and commercial heating applications.
This gas valve operates on a 24V power supply with a frequency of 60 Hz. It draws a current of 0.5A, making it compatible with standard electrical systems commonly found in heating and HVAC setups. It's important to note that this gas valve is designed to be used in conjunction with a Class 2 transformer, ensuring safe and efficient electrical operation.
Reliability and safety are paramount in gas-fired heating systems, and the Gas Valve VR8204H is engineered with these principles in mind. It features a spark natural design, which is a critical safety feature. This design helps prevent unintended ignition of gas by ensuring that ignition only occurs when it's intended, minimizing the risk of gas leaks or explosions.
Proper and precise control of the gas flow is essential for efficient heating performance. The Gas Valve VR8204H is designed to provide accurate control, allowing the boiler to modulate the heating output as needed to maintain the desired temperature. This contributes to energy efficiency and ensures optimal comfort levels within the heated space.
Installation of the Gas Valve VR8204H should be carried out by qualified HVAC professionals to ensure proper setup and adherence to safety standards. Additionally, regular maintenance and inspection of the gas valve are essential to ensure its continued reliable performance and the safety of the heating system.
