WV4262B Powered Damper 
Water Heater Controls

APPLICATION

The WV4262B Water Heater Control System is 
designed for power damper water heater applications.

The WV4262B provides these features:

• Gas regulation and manual valve features

• Intermittent spark-to-pilot ignition

• Flame supervision using flame rectification 

sensing through the spark rod. This flame sense 
circuit uses patented technology to create a 
robust sensing signal that is independent of AC 
line polarity and appliance earth grounding.

• Water temperature sensing using solid state 

sensors potted in a submersion well assembly

• Manually resettable High Temperature Cutout 

(TCO)

• Damper motor control with position sensing

• Variable resistance flammable vapor sensor with 

a sensing and control algorithm to provide 
automatic shutdown when hydrocarbon vapors 
such as gasoline are detected

• Retains up to 10 fault code histories in non-

volatile memory (available through the 
EnviraCOM™ communication port)

• Solid state setpoint adjustment over a factory 

preset temperature range using a linear 
potentiometer to provide high resolution 
adjustment

Special control features are available to address 
items such as stacking. See a Honeywell Product 
Specialist for more information.

The specific application of the WV4262B System is 
the responsibility of the appliance manufacturer. See 
the Specifications below for temperature ranges and 
regulator types. The WV4262B system refers to the 
combination of the valve and the electronic control 
module.
