V48A,F,J; V88A,J

Diaphragm Gas Valves

APPLICATION

The V48 and V88 are solenoid-operated diaphragm valves 

suitable for LP (Liquefied Petroleum), natural, and 

manufactured gases. They are normally used on atmospheric 

boilers, commercial water heaters, and rooftop heaters.

FEATURES

• Line voltage, 2-wire thermostat or controller used with 

a V48; V88 used with 24V thermostat.

• Valves provide slow opening and fast closing.
• Two second maximum closing time.
• V48J, V88J rated for 150°F (66°C) ambient temperature.
• V48F rated for 5 psi (lb. per sq. in.) (34.5 kPa). V48A 

and V88A rated for either 1/2 or 1 psi (3.4 or 6.9 kPa), 

depending on model. V48J and V88J rated for 1 psi 

(6.9 kPa).

• One model for natural and LP gases.
• Wide range of sizes and capacities.
• Firm closing; diaphragm is both weight and spring 

loaded.

• Valve closes on power failure; recommended for final 

shutoff service.

• Adjustable or fixed bleed orifices available for 

installation by OEM.

• Valve position indicator on 1-1/4 in. V48A2227 and 2 in. 

V48F1103 Valves.
