It is the genuine Raypak part.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePropane only\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGas valves are specific to the fuel. This one is the liquid propane version; a natural gas heater takes a different Raypak part. Confirm which fuel your heater is set up for before ordering, because the two are not interchangeable and fitting the wrong valve is a safety problem, not an inconvenience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat a combination valve does\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt puts two jobs in one body. It opens and closes the gas on a call for heat, and it regulates the pressure delivered to the burner. Both of those have to be right for the heater to light cleanly and burn correctly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiagnosing before you replace\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe classic symptom is a heater that runs its sequence and sparks but never lights, with gas at the inlet. That same symptom comes from ignition controls, pressure switches and blocked burners, so have a technician check manifold pressure with a manometer rather than replacing the valve on suspicion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGas valve replacement is licensed technician work, and the joints have to be leak checked before the heater is put back in service.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Raypak","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48626965577940,"sku":"RAY-151-8341","price":226.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_cb8d15d3-eff6-4f52-82f5-c590f4023e0b.png?v=1788718575","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/raypak-106-156-combination-valve-propane-014868f","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
