The SS-225 GAS VLV ASSY NG HW
A specialized natural gas (NG) control valve assembly designed for high-capacity livestock heaters, most notably the Hired Hand® Super Saver XL 225,000 BTU forced-air furnace.
The "HW" designation refers to the manufacturer, Honeywell, while "SS-225" corresponds to the specific heater model capacity.
Product Description & Role
Fuel Regulation: It precisely controls the flow of Natural Gas to the burner at the lower pressures required for NG systems compared to propane.
Safety Shutoff: It features an automatic safety shutoff mechanism that stops fuel flow if system sensors (like a flame probe or pressure switch) detect a fault, such as a flame-out or ventilation failure.
Ignition Support: The valve works in tandem with the heater's ignition system to deliver the correct volume of fuel for smooth, steady burner operation throughout the heating cycle.
Low Voltage Control: Typically operates as a 24 VAC low-voltage control, allowing it to interface with standard barn environmental controllers
