Using It on the Job

1. Always isolate power to the ducted gas heater at the main switchboard and ensure proper lockout/tagout procedures are followed.
2. Shut off the gas supply to the appliance before disconnecting any gas lines. Verify zero pressure in the line.
3. Carefully remove the old gas valve, noting all electrical and gas connections.
4. Install the new SIT Sigma 845 valve, ensuring all gas connections are correctly sealed and tightened to manufacturer specifications.
5. Reconnect electrical wiring as per the heater's wiring diagram.
6. Restore gas supply, check thoroughly for leaks using an approved leak detection solution, then restore power and test the heater's operation across all settings.

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.
