Bradford White 239-49823-02 Natural Gas Valve 160F

Product Description

The BRADFORD WHITE 239-49823-02 is a natural gas valve rated for a 160 degrees F operating temperature, designed for use in residential water heater systems. The valve controls gas flow to the burner assembly and typically integrates thermostat and pilot control functions in a single unit. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians install this component during routine service calls or full unit replacements. Its operating temperature rating ensures reliable function within standard water heater thermal cycles.

This gas valve is suited for natural gas-fired residential water heater applications. It fits into systems requiring a direct OEM-style replacement of the original valve assembly. Installation is common in residential settings where an aging or failed valve is causing insufficient heating, pilot outage, or no-heat conditions. Service technicians should confirm the fuel type and temperature rating match the existing installation before ordering.

Key Features

• Natural gas fuel type for compatibility with standard residential gas supply lines
• 160 degrees F temperature rating aligned with typical residential water heater setpoints
