Peerless Boiler 50842 Lp Gas Valve Standing Pilot

Product Description

The PEERLESS BOILER 50842 is a propane (LP) combination gas valve designed for standing-pilot boiler systems. It serves as an OEM replacement part for Peerless boiler units, controlling gas flow to the main burner and pilot circuit. The valve is based on the Honeywell VR8200A2124/U platform, a widely used combination valve in residential heating equipment. Licensed HVAC technicians and plumbers install this component during gas valve failure, pressure drift, or routine boiler rehabilitation.

This gas valve is specified for use with Peerless boiler models in the 63-03 and 63-04 series, which are residential standing-pilot cast-iron boilers fueled by LP gas. It governs the safety shutoff, pressure regulation, and pilot gas supply functions within the appliance. Standing-pilot systems remain common in older residential installs and in areas where intermittent ignition is not preferred or not code-required.

Key Features

• LP (propane) gas configuration for standing-pilot boiler operation
• Based on Honeywell VR8200A2124/U combination gas valve design
• Integrates main gas shutoff, pressure regulation, and pilot supply in a single valve body
• OEM replacement for Peerless 63-03 and 63-04 series boilers
• Drop-in fitment supports straightforward field replacement without modification

Compatibility

Specified as an OEM replacement for Peerless boiler models 63-03 and 63-04 (LP standing-pilot configuration). The underlying valve is Honeywell VR8200A2124/U.

Installation Notes

Gas valve replacement must be performed by a licensed HVAC technician or gas-certified plumber in accordance with local codes and the IFGC. Shut off the gas supply at the service valve and allow the system to cool completely before beginning any work. Verify inlet and outlet gas pressure with a manometer after installation to confirm the valve is regulating within the boiler manufacturer's specified range. Never apply thread sealant to flare fittings, and confirm all connections are leak-tested with an approved gas leak detection solution before returning the system to service.
