Reliance Water Heater Natural Gas Control Valve 100112336 White Indoor

Description

Product Overview

The Reliance Natural Gas Control Valve is a precision‑engineered component designed to regulate gas flow for a wide range of residential water heating systems. Constructed from high‑grade brass and finished in a clean white coating, the valve offers both durability and aesthetic compatibility with indoor installations. Its compact dimensions—12 inches wide by 8 inches high and a depth of just 2 inches—allow it to fit seamlessly into standard water heater mounting spaces without requiring extensive modifications.

With a rated wattage of 2000 W, the valve delivers efficient energy conversion, helping homeowners achieve consistent hot‑water temperatures while minimizing fuel consumption. The valve’s internal diaphragm and spring mechanism are calibrated to maintain stable pressure, reducing the risk of temperature fluctuations and extending the lifespan of the water heater’s heating elements. The product is certified for use with natural gas lines and complies with industry safety standards, providing peace of mind for both installers and end users.

Reliance has incorporated a user‑friendly design that includes a clear pressure gauge window, allowing technicians to quickly verify proper operation during installation and routine maintenance. The valve’s mounting type is specifically engineered for water heater mounts, ensuring a secure fit that resists vibration and potential loosening over time. Additionally, the valve is lightweight at just 1.94 pounds, making handling and positioning straightforward for DIY enthusiasts and professional plumbers alike.

Compatibility is a key strength of this control valve. It is fully compatible with A.O. Smith, Reliance, State, and American branded water heaters, covering a broad segment of the market. The model number 9007884005 is clearly stamped on the unit, simplifying inventory management and replacement part identification. The valve’s UPC 020363173050 and GTIN 00020363173050 further aid in accurate ordering and tracking across supply chains.

Usage

This control valve is intended for indoor residential water heating applications where natural gas is the primary fuel source. It is ideal for homeowners seeking a reliable replacement part to restore optimal performance after a valve failure or during routine upgrades. Installation requires standard plumbing tools and basic knowledge of gas line connections; however, it is recommended that a licensed plumber perform the final hookup to ensure compliance with local codes.

During use, the valve continuously monitors gas pressure and modulates flow to maintain the desired water temperature setpoint. Its efficient design reduces heat loss, contributing to lower utility bills and a smaller carbon footprint. The white finish blends with most indoor appliance housings, making it an unobtrusive addition to any bathroom, kitchen, or utility closet where a water heater is installed.

Because the valve is built to withstand typical residential temperature ranges, it performs reliably in both hot summer climates and colder winter environments. The robust construction also protects against corrosion caused by moisture in the surrounding air, extending the service life of the component well beyond the average industry expectancy.

FAQ

How do I verify that this valve fits my water heater?

Check the model and serial number of your existing water heater and compare it to the valve’s model number 9007884005. The valve is designed to match the mounting dimensions and gas line specifications of most A.O. Smith, Reliance, State, and American units. If you are uncertain, consult the heater’s installation manual or contact our support team with the details for confirmation.

Can I install the valve myself, or do I need a professional?

While the valve’s design allows for straightforward mounting, working with natural gas lines requires adherence to local safety codes. We recommend that a licensed plumber perform the final gas connection to ensure a safe and code‑compliant installation. The mechanical mounting can be completed by a competent DIYer using basic tools.

What maintenance is required for the control valve?

The valve is a low‑maintenance component. Periodic visual inspections for signs of corrosion or wear are advisable. If the pressure gauge shows abnormal readings or the water heater exhibits inconsistent heating, the valve may need cleaning or replacement. Routine maintenance of the overall water heating system, such as flushing the tank and checking the anode rod, helps prolong the valve’s service life.

Is this valve suitable for commercial applications?

This specific model is engineered for residential use and is rated for the flow rates typical of household water heaters. Commercial installations often require larger capacity valves with higher pressure ratings. For commercial needs, please contact us for a suitable alternative that meets industrial specifications.

What should I do if the valve leaks after installation?

If you notice a gas leak, immediately shut off the gas supply at the main valve and ventilate the area. Do not operate any electrical switches. Contact a licensed plumber or emergency services right away. Our warranty covers manufacturing defects, so a replacement can be arranged after a professional assessment confirms the leak originates from the valve itself.
