Goodman B1282602 Natural Gas Valve 24V Dual Main 1/2 INCH

The Amana-Goodman B1282602 is a 24V dual main natural gas valve, a key component in Amana-Goodman gas furnaces and likely compatible with other similar gas-fueled HVAC equipment. This valve controls the flow of natural gas to the burners, ensuring safe and efficient operation of your furnace. It uses a solenoid, which is essentially an electrically controlled valve. When the furnace control board signals a heating demand, it sends 24 volts to the solenoid, opening the valve and allowing natural gas to flow to the burners. The dual main design likely means the valve has two separate solenoids for independent control of gas flow, potentially for burners with multiple stages or for separate heating elements. Reliable gas control is essential for safe and efficient furnace operation. The Amana-Goodman B1282602 valve helps ensure: Safe Gas Flow: The solenoid design allows for precise control and shut-off of the gas supply, minimizing risks associated with gas leaks. Efficient Heating: By regulating gas flow based on heating demands, the valve contributes to optimal burner performance and potentially lower energy bills. System Reliability: A properly functioning gas valve is crucial for consistent and reliable furnace operation, keeping your home warm and comfortable. The Amana-Goodman B1282602 comes in a compact size (typically 1/2 inch diameter) and weighs around 2.1 pounds, making it a manageable component for servicing technicians.
