Product Overview
The Re-Verber-Ray TP-3040 is a natural gas valve train assembly for Series 3 single-stage tube heaters, rated 120V at 3.5" W.C. inlet pressure. The valve train controls fuel delivery to the radiant tube on each ignition cycle: on a call for heat the valve opens to pass natural gas to the burner, and on shutdown or a safety lockout it closes to cut the fuel supply. Single-stage operation means one fixed gas flow rate, with no modulation. The 3.5" W.C. rating is the inlet pressure this valve train is calibrated and approved to operate on; verify supply pressure matches before installation.
The assembly fits Re-Verber-Ray DX3, DES3, and XTS3 Series 3 single-stage natural gas tube heaters; see the Fitment panel below for the complete model list. It is the current-production replacement for the original factory valve train installed on those heaters at the time of manufacture, and the valve body cross-references to Honeywell VR4205M-1324 and VR4205M-2926, both listed as alternate part numbers by Re-Verber-Ray. Detailed electrical ratings for the Honeywell cross-reference (amperage, contact load) come from Honeywell specifications, not the Re-Verber-Ray parts listing; confirm those values before relying on them for the application.
The TP-3040 ships as a complete sub-assembly: valve body, all fittings, and mounting bracket, so no loose hardware sourcing is required on installation. It includes the bracket and fittings that a bare Honeywell valve alone does not supply, and is the factory-specified replacement for that OEM valve.
Before replacing this assembly, shut off the gas supply and disconnect power to the heater. The valve train is a gas-path component; installation must be completed by a qualified technician who pressure-tests for leaks, verifies ignition, and confirms correct combustion before returning the heater to service. Refer to the DES3 Series Installation and Operating Manual for the valve replacement procedure and wiring diagram; no separate per-part install sheet is available for TP-3040.
