Bradford White 243-46007-02 Gas Valve
The Bradford White 243-46007-02 Gas Valve is a direct OEM replacement component engineered for specific natural gas water heater models within the Defender Safety System series. This Robertshaw thermostatic gas valve utilizes a standard 1/2-inch NPT inlet and outlet configuration, ensuring a secure, leak-proof connection to the manifold. It functions as the primary control for temperature regulation and pilot safety, featuring an integrated piezo igniter and a millivolt-powered electromagnetic circuit. Designed to meet strict NOx emission standards, this water heater gas control valve manages gas flow to both the pilot assembly and the main burner with precision. Technicians should verify the manifold pressure and ensure the thermocouple connection is torqued correctly to maintain circuit continuity. This genuine Bradford White replacement part is critical for restoring the safety shut-off functionality and thermal accuracy of residential units.
- OEM Compatibility: Specifically calibrated for Bradford White Defender Safety System models to ensure precise thermal cut-off.
- Integrated Piezo Igniter: Simplifies the pilot lighting process without requiring external ignition sources.
- Advanced Regulation: Maintains consistent manifold pressure to prevent burner fluctuations and soot accumulation.
- Built-in Safety: Includes a high-limit energy cut-off (ECO) to prevent overheating conditions.
Common Questions
How do you test the resistance on a 243-46007-02 gas valve?
Using a multimeter set to ohms, check the continuity across the pilot generator terminals; a reading outside of the manufacturer’s specified range indicates a failed internal solenoid or ECO trip.
Can this natural gas valve be converted to propane (LP)?
No, this component is factory-calibrated for natural gas. Attempting to convert a Bradford White gas control without a certified kit and regulator adjustment is a safety violation.
What causes the pilot to go out on this specific Bradford White valve?
Common culprits include a weak millivolt signal from the thermopile, a tripped thermal switch, or debris within the pilot orifice restricting the flame.
