Using It on the Job

1. Isolate Power: Always isolate and tag out the main power supply to the heater before starting any work.
2. Shut Off Gas: Ensure the main gas supply to the appliance is turned off at the isolation valve.
3. Depressurise System: Safely depressurise the gas lines before disconnecting the old valve.
4. Disconnect Old Valve: Carefully disconnect all electrical wiring and gas connections from the faulty valve, noting their positions.
5. Install New Valve: Mount the new valve, making all gas connections secure and leak-free, then reconnect the electrical wiring correctly.
6. Leak Check: Test all gas connections thoroughly with an approved leak detection solution before restoring gas supply.
7. Test Operation: Restore power and gas, then test the heater's function across its full modulation range to confirm proper operation.

Limitations & Safety Notes

• Installation and servicing of gas appliances must be performed by a licensed gas fitter in Australia.
• Always isolate power and gas supply before commencing any work on the appliance.
• Test all gas connections for leaks thoroughly before returning the appliance to service.
• Only for use with compatible Bonaire heating systems as specified by the manufacturer.

Tradie Pro Tip: Before you pull the old valve out, take a quick photo of the wiring and gas connections. It's an old trick, but it saves a headache when you're trying to figure out which wire goes where, especially on a tight service call in a cramped roof space.

Pair With

Pair with gas leak detectors and manifold gauges for safe installation, and consider a new ignitor or flame sensor if you're doing a full service on the combustion system for a complete overhaul.
