Limitations & Safety Notes
- Installation and servicing of gas appliances must be performed by a currently licensed gas fitter in accordance with Australian standards and local regulations.
- Always ensure power and gas supplies are isolated before commencing any work on the appliance.
- Thoroughly leak-test all gas connections after installation to prevent hazards.
- Only use this valve on compatible Bonaire heating systems with the specified part numbers.
Before replacing a gas valve, always double-check all pressure switch operations and control board signals. Sometimes, a lockout can be caused by something simpler, but if you've ruled those out, a worn valve can be the root cause of inconsistent heating or complete system shutdown. Get your multimeters and pressure gauges out before you pull the trigger on a new part.
