Reliable hot water control designed for safety and longterm performance Key benefits Prevents leaks and component failures: built from materials and rigorously tested to deliver secure, leak operation with all parts included. Controls water heating precisely: 3.5' WC inverted flare pressure regulation provides stable, consistent pressure for predictable performance. Handles output: supports up to 45,000 BTU flow while limiting water temperature to 160°F (71°C). Protects against overheating: integrated noncirculating Energy CutOff (ECO) automatically shuts off gas if water temperature exceeds safe limits. Easy to install and serviceable: designed for userfriendliness so homeowners and DIYers can complete replacements or repairs quickly. What it does and why you need it Regulates gas flow and water temperature so your water heater operates reliably and safely. The valve reduces the risk of leaks, overheating, and improper pressure that can shorten equipment life or require emergency service. The ECO adds a redundant safety layer by cutting gas supply when temperatures reach unsafe levels, preventing scalding and equipment damage. If you need a dependable replacement or an upgrade to improve safety and performance, this valve delivers consistent results without hidden parts or missing components. Key specifications Pressure regulation: 3.5' WC inverted flare Connections: 1/2' inlet and outlet Maximum flow capacity: 45,000 BTU Maximum temperature limit: 160°F (71°C) Safety feature: integrated noncirculating Energy CutOff (ECO) that automatically shuts off gas if water temperature exceeds safe limits Construction: materials, factorytested for leak operation Compatibility and installation Standard 1/2' inlet/outlet connections fit common residential water heater and thermostat plumbing setups. Verify connection types and clearances before ordering. Clear labeling and a userfocused design make installation straightforward for a competent DIYer or a service technician. All required components are included to reduce installation delays. Use scenarios Replacing a failed control valve on a home hot water heater to restore reliable temperature control and stop intermittent leaks. Upgrading safety on an older heater in a rental property to prevent overheating incidents and reduce liability. Installing during a kitchen or bathroom remodel where consistent hot water pressure and a reliable cutoff at 160°F (71°C) are required for occupant safety. Safety and reliability The combination of materials, rigorous testing, and the integrated ECO provides measurable improvements in equipment safety and longevity. Designed to operate within specified limits for pressure, flow, and temperature so you get predictable behavior and fewer service calls. Technical reminders Confirm that 1/2' inlet/outlet connections and inverted flare pressure regulation meet your system requirements. Observe the 45,000 BTU and 160°F (71°C) limits when selecting this valve to ensure proper performance and safety. This valve is a practical, safetyfocused replacement or upgrade for residential hot water heater thermostat control that emphasizes leak operation, precise pressure regulation, flow capacity, and automatic overtemperature protection.
