VR8345 Universal Gas Valve Why choose the Honeywell VR8345? Universal Application Replaces 30+ Honeywell models & 30+ third party valves 40M plus installed valves in the market are replaceable by the VR8345 Reduce inventory on the shelf and in the truck Save time and reduce callbacks by stocking the VR8345 universal valve Easy Installation and Adjustments Installation, set up and adjustments are simple with the available universal features

Why choose the Honeywell VR8345..continued Compact Design This valve adapts to the tightest applications Proven Honeywell Brand Excellent Track Record for Quality & Reliability Complete cross reference information Multiple resources to reference makes the right choice simple

VR8345 Features Broad capacity range 30 to 415 cfh gas flow (natural) or 48K to 672K BTU’s (LP) Suitable for virtually all appliances Valve Opening Characteristics Available in Standard, Slow and 2-Stage Use with gas types Natural, Manufactured or LP Gas Internal inlet screen blocks contaminants in gas line from entering valve LP Conversion Kits & Adapter bushings included Simple conversion eliminates the need for another valve or purchasing a separate kit. Compact fit and multi-poise mounting Four-inch swing radius allows easy rotation inside the tightest furnace spaces – no need to adapt pipe or remove burner

VR8345 Features Easy installation All adjustments and wiring connections accessible from the top of the control Includes manual valve, 2 automatic operators, pressure regulator, pilot adjustment, pilot plug and ignition adapter Clearly marked, keyed terminal block allows quick attachment of wires and IP/DSI/HSI jumper

Universal Installation Features Most of the installation considerations for this valve are well known to you.

Compact Fit and Multi-Poise Mounting Adapter available for tight places Adapter flange Thread on manifold Bolt to valve Eliminates the need to remove the manifold in many cases Works on any Honeywell valve If there isn’t room to swing the valve on the manifold in the normal manner, use the adapter flange. Put it on the manifold Bolt the valve to the flange

Installing VR8345 (DSI, HSI or IP) Works with ANY Intermittent Pilot or Direct Ignition (direct spark or hot surface) Application. OR Intermittent Pilot Ignition (IP) 1. Remove plug from pilot outlet 2. Connect pilot gas tube 3. Use three terminals on valve for connections to module Direct Burner Ignition (DSI or HSI) 1. Leave plug in pilot outlet 2. Plug electrical adapter into terminal block

Wiring of the VR8345 Easy access to wiring connections and adjustments Follow installation instructions including wiring to thermostat and other controls as required.
