Ao Smith 100112706 Gas Control Valve Kit Natural Gas

Product Description

The AO SMITH 100112706 is a natural gas control valve kit designed as a direct replacement component for AO Smith water heater systems. The gas control valve regulates gas flow to the burner assembly, managing ignition sequencing and temperature control within the appliance. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians install this component when the original valve fails to maintain proper burner operation, exhibits lockout conditions, or shows signs of internal failure. It is a factory-sourced replacement intended to restore original equipment function and system reliability.

This valve kit is suited for residential water heater applications fueled by natural gas. It is typically installed during service calls where the existing gas control valve has been diagnosed as faulty through standard troubleshooting procedures. The kit format means it includes the components necessary for a complete valve replacement rather than a partial repair, reducing return trips and callback risk on water heater service jobs.

Key Features

• Natural gas fuel compatibility for residential water heater applications
• Replacement kit configuration supports complete valve swap-out
• Designed to restore OEM-level burner control and temperature regulation
• Direct replacement part reduces diagnostic complexity during service

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified HVAC technician in accordance with local codes and the appliance manufacturer's service documentation. Shut off the gas supply at the shutoff valve upstream of the appliance and allow the water heater to cool before beginning disassembly. Verify gas-tightness at all connections after installation using an approved leak detection solution before restoring gas flow and relighting the appliance.
