Universal Electronic Ignition
The VR8345M Universal Electronic Ignition
Gas Control is used in gas-fired appliances with
capacities up to 300 cu ft/hour at 1 inch wc pres-
sure drop [8.5 cu m/hour at 0.25 kPa] for natural
gas. The VR8345M will operate with a direct spark
ignition (DSI), hot surface ignition (HSI) or inter-
mittent pilot ignition. The control includes a
manual valve, two automatic operators, a pres-
sure regulator, pilot adjustment, pilot plug, and
ignition adapter.
Compatible with hot surface pilot, intermittent pilot
and direct spark ignition.
Replaces virtually any IP, HSI or DSI gas control.
For use with 24 Vac heating appliances that burn
natural or manufactured gas or liquiefied petroleum
(LP) gas. (Includes converter kit to adapt from natu-
ral gas to LP gas.)
Compact to fit into tightly packed, high efficiency
heating equipment.
Works with virtually all residential equipment and
all but the largest commercial equipment, with a
regulation capacity range of 30,000 to 415,000 Btuh
natural gas (48,600 to 672,300 LP gas).
All adjustments and wiring connections accessible
from top of control.
Straight-through body pattern.
1/8 in. NPT inlet and outlet taps on top of gas
control aid adjustment of gas pressure in problem
installations.
3/4 in. x 3/4 in. inlet and outlet fit easily on high
capacity systems plus others using 1/2 in. reducer
bushings.
