I needed a forklift part and wasn’t sure which one fit. They asked for the model and serial number, got back to me quickly, and made sure I ordered the right one. Really helpful.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does this control valve include the pilot burner and thermocouple? A: The valve body is the main gas control unit; the pilot assembly and thermocouple are typically sold separately or reused from your existing heater.
Q: Will this valve work with Atwood 6-gallon direct spark ignition (DSI) water heaters? A: No, this valve is designed for standing pilot models. DSI systems use a different electronic gas valve and ignition module; please check your water heater’s ignition type before purchasing.
