VR8404 High Capacity Intermittent
Pilot Combination Gas Control
APPLICATION
This high capacity intermittent pilot 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. 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

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)
regulators. Valves have fixed pressure regulation and
are not adjustable. It is recommended that an appliance
shutoff valve be installed upstream of the VR8404.
BODY PATTERN: Straight-through body pattern.
