Product Overview:
Gas-fired water heaters require accurate temperature regulation and controlled fuel delivery for proper burner operation. The Rheem-Ruud SP12258B Gas Control Valve (Thermostat) - LP 160°F is a genuine OEM gas control assembly designed for specified Rheem and Ruud liquid propane water heater applications. It combines thermostat regulation and gas-flow control to maintain selected water temperatures, with an adjustable range up to 160°F.

Gas Control and Temperature Regulation:
The thermostat senses water temperature inside the storage tank and controls the gas supply to the main burner. This temperature-responsive operation regulates burner cycling according to the selected setting.

Gas Connection and Burner Control:
The assembly regulates liquid propane delivery through its gas inlet and burner outlet connections. Its configuration includes a left-hand main burner outlet and a thermostat shank designed for the specified water heater installation.

Replacement Guidelines:
Replace the Rheem-Ruud SP12258B when water temperature regulation becomes unreliable, the main burner fails to operate correctly, or the valve no longer controls gas flow in response to thermostat settings. Replacement may also be necessary if the control develops a gas leak or its internal temperature-sensing mechanism malfunctions. Have a qualified gas appliance technician handle installation, verify the LP gas connections, and test burner and pilot operation.

Common Signs of Wear:

  • Water temperature does not remain near the selected setting.
  • Burner fails to operate according to temperature demand.
  • Water heater experiences inconsistent heating.
  • Thermostat adjustment becomes unresponsive.
  • Visible damage or deterioration appears around gas connections.

Equipment Compatibility:
The Rheem-Ruud SP12258B Gas Control Valve (Thermostat) - LP 160°F is an OEM replacement for selected Rheem and Ruud water heaters designed for liquid propane. It is listed for specific LP gas control applications and must not be installed in natural gas equipment or used for fuel conversion. Compare the existing control and appliance identification numbers before ordering to confirm the correct replacement.
