VR8404 High Capacity Intermittent
Pilot Combination Gas Control
This high capacity intermittent pilot combination gas
control is used in gas-fired appliances with capacities up to
3
500 feet /hour at 1 inch wc pressure drop [14.2 meters
hour at 0.25 kPa] on natural gas. This entire gas control
consists of two valves assembled in parallel on a die-cast
manifold to provide high capacity. Each valve includes a
manual valve and two automatic operators. One valve has a
pilot outlet and the other valve has no pilot outlet. A
nonremovable electrical harness connects both valves. Do
not alter or remove this harness. Three pigtail leads (with
1/4-inch quick connects) provide for field connection. Gas

controls are available for natural gas and LP; they are not
convertible from one gas to another. Bushings are available
to reduce the inlet and outlet of the entire gas control.
Models are available with slow-opening (VR8404H),
standard (VR8404M) and step-opening (VR8404P) regu-
lators. Valves have fixed pressure regulation and are not
adjustable. It is recommended that an appliance shutoff
valve be installed upstream of the VR8404
