Product Overview
The Re-Verber-Ray VR4205M-1357 is an 11.0 in. combination propane gas valve and brass union assembly, set at 10.0 in. It controls propane flow to the burner and wires directly into the heater's ignition control circuit, using terminals HV, S, N, G, and TH per the installation sheet's wiring diagram. On DR Series PFS-2 [120V] units it pairs with the MARK 10X-117 ignition module (used 1985 through 05/97) or the later MARK 10DX-117 (03/97 to present). The brass union lets a technician break the gas connection at the valve with two wrenches, without disturbing the rest of the supply piping.
It fits the DR Series PFS-2 [120V] and American 450P 120V propane heaters; see Fitment below for the full list. The VR4205M-1357 is a direct replacement for the earlier VR4205M-1316 valve used on the same heaters. It also cross-references to alternate/OEM part numbers 1457969, V444A-1199 (also listed as V444A1199), and V444A-10; Grainger lists the same valve under stock number 1FEK2. These numbers come directly from the Re-Verber-Ray parts page and are a reliable way to confirm an exact match when working from a different catalog or an old parts list.
The valve ships supplied with the brass union fitting and is ready to install out of the box.
The VR4205M-1357 is a direct substitute for the earlier VR4205M-1316 on PFS-2 [120V] units. Before replacing the valve: shut off (turn off) the electrical circuit to the heater, close (turn off) the gas supply, and disconnect the wires from the circuit board. Remove the old valve and install the new one using two wrenches on the union fitting so the gas line isn't twisted. Reconnect the wires per the wiring diagram, restore gas supply, then restore power, and have a qualified gas technician confirm proper operation before returning the heater to service. See the VR4205M-1357 installation instructions (PDF) for the full wiring diagram.
