Using It on the Job

1. Isolate Power & Gas: Always switch off the main power to the heating unit at the switchboard and shut down the primary gas supply. Apply lockout/tagout procedures.
2. Depressurise & Disconnect: Verify gas lines are depressurised, then carefully disconnect the existing gas valve, noting all electrical and gas connections.
3. Install New Valve: Mount the new Bonaire SIT 840 Sigma Gas Valve, ensuring all gas connections are made with appropriate thread sealant and torqued correctly.
4. Reconnect Electrics: Reconnect all electrical wiring as per the manufacturer's schematic.
5. Leak Test & Commission: Restore gas supply, check all connections thoroughly with an approved gas leak detector solution. Then, restore power, follow commissioning steps for the heating unit, and perform a full functional test.

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.
