APPLICATION
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.
• 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.

Gas Valve Sizing
1. Check the burner nameplate for:
a. the type of gas used, and
b. the gas flow capacity. The capacity will be listed in
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:
4. For gases with specific gravities other than 0.64, multiply
the burner cf/h using the proper conversion factor in
Table 4.
Type of Gassp gr (average)Multiply cfh by
Manufactured0.600.968
Mixed0.701.046
LP-Propane1.531.546
LP-Butane1.981.759
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.
British thermal units per hour (Btuh) or in cubic feet
per hour (cfh).
Capacity in cfh = Btuh (burner nameplate)
Btu/cf (gas utility)
Table 4. Gas Conversion Factors.
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.

curves for 1 in. valve.
