VR8405 High Capacity Direct Ignition
Combination Gas Control
APPLICATION
This high capacity direct ignition combination gas
control is used in gas-fired appliances with capacities
3
up to 500 feet
/hour at 1 inch wc pressure drop [14.2
3
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. A nonremovable electrical harness connects
both valves. Do not alter or remove this harness. Two
pigtail leads (with 1/4-inch quick connects) provide for
field connection. Gas controls are available for natural

another. Bushings are available to reduce the inlet and
outlet of the entire gas control.
Models are available with slow-opening (VR8405H),
standard (VR8405M) and step-opening (VR8405P)
regulators.
Valves have fixed pressure regulation and are not
adjustable. It is recommended that an appliance shutoff
valve be installed upstream of the VR8405.
BODY PATTERN: Straight-through body pattern.
