Detective Tools What is this and what does it do?

This is a bleed valve used on Honeywell diaphragm type gas valves. It controls the opening speed of the valve to allow for a smoother ignition.

Ray, almost every diaphram gas valve that I saw in my 40+ years of HVAC service required some type of adjustable bleed device to control the opening speed of that valve, I carried a few of these orfices in my service truck in case a novice or uneducated would inadvertently remove or throw away the orfice by mistake.
