Rheem-Ruud 60-22174-02 Slow Open Pilot NG Valve 1/2"

The Rheem-Ruud 60-22174-02 Slow Open Pilot NG Valve is a key component for safe and controlled operations of HVAC systems utilizing natural gas. This particular valve has a stand that functions well for single-stage heating applications. It is compact and fits diverse designs of furnaces and heating systems, with its height being 5-3/16", length measuring 4-1/8", and its width being 2-11/16". The slow-open pilot characteristic gives safety guarantees through the controlled flow of gas into it and, by doing so, avoids dramatic influxes that lead to bad combustion or even complete breakdowns. This results in consistent ignitions and heating processes. Also, this makes it possible to manage the flow of gas at an exact rate, thereby improving energy efficiency and decreasing emissions, among other benefits.
