OEM Carrier Gas Valve 24V 1/2" NPT 3.5" WC for Model PG8JAA036045ABJA

This is the genuine OEM replacement combination gas valve (part number EF32CW210) for the Carrier PG8JAA036045ABJA gas furnace. The gas valve is the heart of your furnace's fuel delivery system — it receives a 24V signal from the control board and opens to allow precisely metered natural gas flow to the burner assembly. When this valve fails, the furnace will attempt ignition, the igniter will glow, but no gas will flow, resulting in a no-heat lockout condition and a fault code on the control board. In some cases, a failed valve may cause intermittent heating or a hard lockout after repeated failed ignition attempts.

• Specs: 24V coil voltage | 50/60 Hz | 1/2" NPT inlet & outlet | 3.5" W.C. outlet pressure (natural gas) | Single-stage combination gas valve | Replaces legacy part number 36J24-618
• OEM vs Generic: This is a genuine Carrier Factory Authorized Part — not an aftermarket substitute. OEM gas valves are factory-set to the exact outlet pressure specification for your furnace's heat exchanger and burner orifice sizing. Aftermarket valves risk improper gas pressure, leading to incomplete combustion, sooting, or nuisance lockouts.
• Install difficulty: 3/5 — Gas valve replacement requires shutting off the gas supply, depressurizing the line, and reconnecting gas piping. Tools needed: adjustable wrench, pipe thread sealant (gas-rated), flathead screwdriver, multimeter. Important: A licensed HVAC technician or gas fitter is required by code in most jurisdictions. Leak-test all fittings with approved gas leak detection solution before restoring power.
• Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty against defects. Ships same business day from our warehouse on all in-stock orders.

Compatibility: Designed for the Carrier PG8JAA036045ABJA gas furnace. Cross-references include White Rodgers 36J24-618 and Carrier internal part PEF32CW210. Verify your unit's data plate gas type (natural gas), inlet pressure, and outlet W.C. rating before ordering. Note: this valve is approximately 7/8" longer than some original configurations — a short black metal nipple or coupling may be required for proper fitment. Questions about compatibility?
