Product Overview
The TP-3041 is a complete propane gas valve train assembly for Re-Verber-Ray Series 3 tube heaters. Operating voltage is 120V; inlet gas pressure is propane at 11.0" WC. The valve train controls propane flow to the burner tube: on a call for heat, the valve opens to admit gas at the regulated pressure; when the call ends or a safety circuit opens, the valve closes and gas flow stops immediately. Proper valve function is required for ignition, stable flame establishment, and safe burner shutdown on every cycle.
Fits Re-Verber-Ray Series 3 single-stage tube heaters: DES3, DX3, and XTS3. See the Fitment panel for specific BTU ratings and model variants confirmed for this part. No supersession has been recorded for this part number. The OEM alternate number for this valve train is VR4205M-1316. The DES3 series installation documentation also references VR4205-1357 as the propane gas valve assembly for this application; it is unclear whether these two numbers represent a revision or two distinct OEM builds. Confirm the correct cross-reference against the unit's model and serial data before ordering.
Ships as a complete assembly: valve, fittings, and mounting bracket, ready to install as a unit.
Shut off the gas supply and disconnect power to the unit before beginning any work. This is a gas-path component; installation must be performed by a qualified technician who can verify for leaks and confirm correct operation against the installation instructions before returning the heater to service. Refer to the DES3 Series Installation Manual for wiring diagrams and valve train replacement procedures.
