Review on πŸ”₯ Honeywell International VR8200A2132 Valve for Efficient Heating Solutions by James Wiley

Revainrating 3 out of 5

It works but often breaks.

The good news is that it works and looks good. The bad news is that it doesn't work for very long. When my old valve model broke down in 2008, I replaced it with this block. After 7 years (2015) the pilot will not stay. The thermocouple is fine (tried a new one), had to buy another one and put in the 2 hours of acrobatic practice it took to replace it (have to disconnect the gas line in 4 different places and unscrew half the oven block). The new one works (and has a much lower thermocouple input resistance than the bad one). Next time I will try to find another brand. if I'm still in the same house. Such work would be expensive if I had to call in a professional and doing it every 7 years doesn't seem like the best way out.

Pros
  • Valves
Cons
