V4943/V8943B,C,N;
V4944/V8944B,C,L,N
Regulating Diaphragm Gas Valves
PRODUCT DATA
The V4943/V8943B and N (single stage) and V4944/V8944B and N (two stage) are solenoid-operated diaphragm valves suitable for natural gas only. The V4943/V8943C and V4944/V8944C and L are solenoid-operated diaphragm valves suitable for Liquefied Petroleum (LP) gas only. These valves are used on boilers, unit heaters, duct furnaces, makeup air and rooftop heaters.
•Models are available for natural or liquid petroleum (LP) gases.
•Valve models L, N are rapid opening (less than six seconds) and fast closing, and are available for LP and natural gases, respectively.
•Line voltage with two-wire thermostat or controller is used with V4943; V8943 is used with 24V thermostat or controller.
•V4944 is used with line voltage dual-stage thermostat or controller; V8944 is used with 24V dual-stage thermostat or controller.
•Slow opening B,C valve models are available for natural and LP gases respectively.
•Valve closes on power failure; recommended for final shutoff service.
•Valve closing time: 2 seconds maximum at 7 inches wc inlet pressure.
•Valves rated for 0.5 pound per square inch (psi) (3.4 kPa).
•Leadwires and cover for electrical conduit connections are provided.

1.Check the burner nameplate for:
a.the type of gas used, and
b.the gas flow capacity. The capacity will be listed in British thermal units per hour (Btuh) or in cubic feet per hour (cfh).
2.Contact the local gas utility for information regarding:
a.the specific gravity (sp gr) and
b.the Btu per cubic foot (Btucf) for the type of gas used.
3.Find the capacity in cf/h. If the capacity is listed in Btu, convert to cf/h using the following formula:
Capacity in cfh = Btuh (burner nameplate)
Btu/cf (gas utility)
4.For gases with specific gravities other than 0.64, multiply the burner cf/h using the proper conversion factor in Table 4.

5.Use the corrected burner capacity in cfh when determining the gas valve size in Figs. 2–9.
6.Determine the maximum pressure drop across the valve and draw a vertical line at this pressure in Figs. 2–9.
7.At the point of intersection of the vertical line and the curve, draw a horizontal line to intersect the flow (capacity) scale. The point of intersection indicates the capacity that can be obtained with the maximum pressure drop.
8.If the capacity at the maximum pressure drop is insufficient, use the capacity vs. pressure drop curve for the next larger valve size and repeat steps 6 and 7.
