4.

If there is still no voltage at the actuator, make sure all 

the appropriate contacts in the thermostat (or 

controller), limit(s), and flame safeguard control are 

closed. If one or more is open, determine the cause(s) 

and correct the con-dition(s) before proceeding.

5.

If there is proper voltage at the valve actuator but the 

valve still does not open, first check that the gas 

pressure at the valve is normal. Then make sure that 

the bleed line is unobstructed.

6.

If the gas pressure and bleed line are okay but the valve 

still does not open, replace the coil assembly. (Refer to 

the Specifications section for the proper part number, 

and to the Service Information section for the proper 

procedure.)

7.

If you replace the coil assembly and the valve still does 

not open, replace the valve.

If the valve will not close when one or more of the 
appropriate contacts in the thermostat (or 
controller), limit(s), or flame safeguard control is 
open:

1.

Make sure that the gas flow is in the direction of the 

arrow on the valve body.

2.

Make sure the valve actuator is wired in the correct 

circuit. Open the master switch to remove power from 

the valve actuator. If the valve closes now, the actuator 

may not be wired properly.

3.

Look for a short in the electrical circuit.

SERVICE INFORMATION

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard.

Can cause severe injury or death.

1. Only qualified service technicians should attempt to 

service or repair flame safeguard controls and 

burner systems.

2. Open the master switch before replacing the coil 

assembly or the valve. Line voltage is present in the 

electrical circuits to the valve.

Scheduled Inspection and Maintenance

A schedule should be set up and followed for periodic 

inspection and maintenance for the burner and all other 

controls and the valve(s). Refer to the instructions for the 

flame safeguard control for more information.

Replacing the coil assembly  (Figs. 12 

through 15)

1.

Open the master switch to disconnect all power to the 

valve actuator.

2.

Loosen the cover screw in the front of the actuator 

housing (Fig. 12) and remove the housing cover.

3.

Disconnect the external wires from the two internal 

black leadwires (Fig. 12).

4.

Remove the two torx screws inside the actuator housing 

(Fig. 13) and lift off the housing.

5.

Remove the holding nut from the top of the coil 

assembly (Fig. 13).

6.

Lift the coil assembly straight up and off the plunger 

tube assembly (Fig. 14).

7.

Snap out the wraparound metal cover and remove the 

metal base (Fig. 15). Save these parts for the 

replacement coil.

8.

Carefully unhook the cardboard insulator (Fig. 15) and 

remove it. Save the insulator for the replacement coil.

9.

Make sure the new coil assembly has the same part 

number as the old one; then discard the old coil 

assembly.

10.

Wrap the cardboard insulator around the new coil 

assembly and carefully hook it together around the two 

black leadwires (Fig. 15).

11.

Insert the two black leadwires through the opening in 

the metal base, and insert the new coil assembly into 

the metal base (Fig. 15).

12.

Snap the wraparound metal cover into place around the 

new coil assembly (Fig. 15).

13.

Slip the new coil assembly over the plunger tube 

assembly (Fig. 14).

14.

Replace the holding nut on top of the coil assembly (Fig. 

13) and tighten it securely.

15.

Replace the actuator housing and tighten the two torx 

screws holding it in place (Fig. 13).

16.

Reconnect the external wires to the two internal black 

leadwires (Fig. 12).

17.

Replace the housing cover, and tighten the cover screw 

holding it to the actuator housing (Fig. 12).

18.

Close the master switch.

19.

Test the valve to make sure it opens and closes as 

described in the Operation section.

20.

Verify proper operation after servicing.
