Lennox 71W96 2-stage Lp Gas Valve for Furnace

Product Description

The LENNOX 71W96 is a 2-stage liquid propane gas valve designed for use in residential and light commercial gas furnaces. It controls the flow of LP gas to the burner assembly, enabling two-stage firing — a lower first stage for efficiency during mild demand and a higher second stage when full heat output is required. This valve is installed by licensed HVAC technicians as part of routine service or replacement work. Its 2-stage operation supports variable-output furnace designs, helping maintain consistent comfort while reducing short-cycling and fuel waste.

This gas valve is intended for LP (liquid propane) furnace applications. It fits into systems where 2-stage gas control is required and is suited for residential and light commercial installations. Technicians replacing a failed or leaking gas valve in an LP-fueled furnace will find this part a direct-fit OEM replacement. The raw supplier data references internal cross-reference number 102688-02 as an associated identifier for this valve.

Installation Notes

Gas valve replacement must be performed by a licensed HVAC or gas technician in accordance with local codes and IFGC requirements. Shut off the gas supply at the main shutoff and disconnect power to the furnace before beginning any work. Confirm the replacement valve is rated for LP gas and verify inlet and outlet pressure with a manometer after installation. Never bypass or jumper the valve during testing.
