Limitations & Safety Notes
- Installation and servicing of gas appliances must be performed by a currently licenced gasfitter in Australia.
- Ensure gas and electrical supplies are isolated and verified safe before commencing any work.
- Only compatible with the specific Bonaire Vulcan models that use Bonaire PN 5310702SP. Always double-check your existing part number.
- Always follow the manufacturer's installation instructions and local gas safety regulations.
When swapping out these modulating valves, always double-check your wiring against the heater's schematic. Sometimes, a wire can look similar, but getting it wrong can cause control board errors or incorrect flame modulation. A quick photo before you start can save a lot of grief.
Pair With
Pair with gas leak detection spray and a digital multimeter for checking voltage and signals during installation and commissioning. Consider also grabbing some thread sealant for your gas connections.
