Hi, i am replacing a gas valve for a furnace. The old valve doesn't use this (vent port) as it's not a seal combustion burner. However, the new valve also has a vent port with a small 90 degree fitting on it. Can i just remove this fitting and plug it up? And set manifold pressure to 3.5"wc? Thank you for all your helpful tutorials.

Thank you for your reply. I am a little confused because I see other furnaces that does not have a sealed combustion have this vent port capped with a white plastic cap. Even when it's a brand new valve from the manufacturer. Yes, for the sealed combustion furnace this vent port is being used with a hose to the combustion box just like your video. Please correct me if I am wrong. Thank you sir.

My International electric furnace sticks on heat until I turn off breaker. I would imagine it is one of the heat sequencers. Mine has 4 heat sequencers and the one on left side the wire is burned a little...its the #10 black wire that goes up to heating coil. Would it be safe to say that the heat sequencer with the burned wire is the culprit? Also, the wire appears to be stranded, it must be a special wire for this application? Any help would be great, thanks.

@grayfurnaceman 2 күн бұрын
That is very possibly true. A loose wire connection on the sequencer will overheat and damage the sequencer. The wire has 90C coating, so use similar wire. GFM

This kind of switch that you describe sounds like a “silent switch” which is a mercury tilt switch, these were popular in the 50s thru 70s since the old switches made a very loud thump due to a different mechanism compared to today. “Silent switches” can last a very long time due to the actual switching contacts being in a sealed chamber and the actual material switching current being a liquid which won’t pit like normal contacts would.

Hey Greyman. Thanks for all your videos. I’ve gotten advice from you before. Beckett updraft oil. Going to check the cad cell tomorrow. Never thought to look. I had given up on my own and called a technician, two actually, first guy changes the filter and the nozzle. Goes for about 2 weeks. Starts with the fire up and quit again. First guy doesn’t respond to messages. Call another who rewired the entire board in a manner I can only say looks like an explosion in a noodle factory. It doesn’t even stay on for the entire day and his phone is now disconnected. A third guy came but took one look at the wiring and said heck no! So tomorrow I’ll test the cad cell. And a question if I may. The valve on the bottom of the tank was leaking. It would shut off and not drip so I shut it off and put a top feed in. Think that might have anything to do with the burn stopping? The tank is raise about two feet so and the property slopes so the bottom of the tank is about a foot below the pump. So the up draw is about 3 feet to the pump approximately, too much? Do I need a return line? Thanks for your help.

@grayfurnaceman You are probably right, guy from Ferrell Gas that installed my first LP UNIT did it that way..lol. Im working on my 100,000 btu LP Enerco ceiling heater in my shop now. When it kicks off if you are in the on postion you can climb up and light the orifices on the ends like a candle. Something is bypassing. I got to smelling a little lp when I would walk in, in the morning. Its millivolt Honeywell vs820a 1120. I went in it a little and figured out the regulator was stuck and a spring under the twist valve was in the wrong place. I looked a little deeper but I was getting above a logger/mechanic/welder pay grade. I have a new Robertshaw just got here this morning with the same specs. Just have to make a new pilot line. Worst thing is taking the heater down from 14 feet high. Would do it in the air but don't want to drop new valve, it wasn't cheap!

Great video. I’ve lived in this house for 7 years and my regulator has worked fine even with the temperature in the teens. This year when the temperature gets freezing it stops letting the adequate pressure of gas out. Once the temperature is above freezing, it works properly again. It has a covering around it with a lid, so I don’t think it’s getting water to it, and the water is freezing. Do you know what’s causing it to malfunction? Do you think it is corroded inside and when it freezes, it’s expanding a little, and the corrosion is not allowing it to slide properly?
