Laars LAARS-V0046800 Two-stage Natural Gas Valve 1.5 in

Product Description

The LAARS LAARS-V0046800 is a two-stage natural gas valve with a 1.5-inch body, designed for use in residential and light-commercial heating equipment. Two-stage gas valves modulate between a low-fire and high-fire position, allowing the burner to operate at reduced capacity during moderate load conditions and ramp up to full capacity when demand increases. This valve is installed by licensed gas technicians and HVAC service professionals as part of a gas-fired boiler or water heater service or replacement procedure.

This valve is suited for natural gas-fired heating systems that require two-stage burner control. The 1.5-inch connection size positions it for larger residential or light-commercial boiler and water heater applications. The raw title references both LAARS and Bradford White, indicating this valve may serve equipment produced under either brand. Install scenarios typically include boiler valve replacement, end-of-life component swap, or system upgrade to two-stage operation.

Key Features

• Two-stage operation supports low-fire and high-fire burner control for improved efficiency and comfort
• 1.5-inch valve body fits larger residential and light-commercial gas-fired systems
• Natural gas configuration matched to NG-rated heating equipment
• OEM-style replacement for LAARS and Bradford White branded equipment

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement natural gas valve for LAARS and Bradford White gas-fired boilers and water heaters requiring a 1.5-inch two-stage natural gas valve.

Installation Notes

Gas valve replacement must be performed by a licensed gas technician in accordance with local codes and the appliance manufacturer service documentation. Shut off the gas supply at the service valve upstream of the appliance and allow the system to depressurize before disconnecting any fittings. Verify inlet and outlet gas pressure after installation using a manometer to confirm proper operation at both firing stages. Follow all applicable codes including IFGC and local jurisdiction requirements.
