The Best Valve for a Very Old Oven

The Best Valve for an Old Oven. This faucet has breathed new life into my 29 year old stove. The HVAC guy made me an offer to fix this old furnace that cost $950. But I did it all with this valve and two plugs (of course I used Furguson Professional Pipe Lube. No teflon tape). I checked the entire pipe, fitting and connection with a CD100A gas leak detector (this product is also used by the county inspectors) and no problem. And they sent this valve a day later. Many Thanks.

Pros
  • Welding and Soldering
Cons
  • Quick Start Guide

to replace a failed pilot solenoid

I bought this to replace a failed gas valve; the pilot light does not burn at first; The first guess was a thermocouple, but the pilot failed anyway; then I bought this valve to replace the old valve; now my oven works fine; I did it myself without calling an HVAC specialist; Just be careful with the following: - Use pipe thread lubricant to ensure tightness - The thermocouple should be replaced at the same time (I bought it here on Amazon for about $9) - Check for a leak after installationโ€ฆ

Pros
  • welding equipment
Cons
  • some small items

Amazingly good service

I have a very old NG stove (cast iron burner). I was concerned that it might be too old. In other words, there are no spare parts. So I took a chance and ordered a Honeywell 8200 series valve. I'm happy to say that this valve is a perfect fit. I even used the same leads, no change. However, the pilot port is located elsewhere. This required new bends in the pilot's feed tube. The tube is made of unannealed aluminum and is long enough to reach the new port location. Checked for leaks, noโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Tools and household goods
Cons
  • Poorly thought out

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 thermocoupleโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Valves

Honeywell Quality Valve

Boiler was replaced 12 years ago and recently failed. Our house is heated with original cast-iron radiators (approx. 1923). Calling a mechanic would cost at least $85 just for a visit to diagnose the problem and another $100 for the installation. A search on Google and YouTube confirmed that the control valve as well as the circulating pump that was included with the previous boiler needed to be replaced. Revain shipped this item quickly and on arrival it took me 1 1/2 hours to install theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Tools and Household Items
Cons
  • Drill Kit

Cheap Solution - Welding Equipment

This is a universal replacement valve that fits many ovens (24 VAC control, 30 mV thermocouple, up to 135,000 BTUs, 3.5 in H2O outlet pressure) . Installation is easy enough for anyone with basic plumbing experience. Notes on Installation: It is important to know the specifications of your stove to ensure you are getting a compatible valve. Rheem's customer service line has been the most helpful to me in this regard, as well as the type plate on the device. You can also consult the Honeywellโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Welding and Soldering

  • Big and Bulky
