OEM Carrier Gas Valve 24V Natural Gas 3.5" WC for Model PG8MAA036045ABJA

This is the genuine OEM combination gas valve (part# EF32CW210), the factory-specified replacement for the Carrier PG8MAA036045ABJA gas furnace. The gas valve is the critical safety and flow-control component that regulates natural gas delivery to the burner assembly. It opens on command from the furnace control board when the igniter reaches temperature, and closes instantly if the flame sensor fails to confirm ignition. When this valve fails, symptoms include a complete no-heat condition, repeated ignition lockout codes, or the furnace cycling through the ignition sequence without the burners ever lighting.

• Specs: 24V coil voltage | 50/60 Hz | Natural gas | 3.5" W.C. outlet pressure | 1/2" NPT inlet/outlet connection | Replaces legacy part 36J24-618
• OEM vs Generic: This is a genuine Carrier OEM valve — factory-calibrated to exact inlet/outlet pressure specifications for the PG8MAA series. Aftermarket valves may not hold the correct 3.5" W.C. setpoint, risking nuisance lockouts, rich combustion, or unsafe operation.
• Install difficulty: 4/5 — Gas valve replacement requires shutting off the main gas supply, relieving line pressure, and proper leak-testing after installation with approved leak-detection solution. Tools needed: adjustable wrench, pipe thread sealant (gas-rated), multimeter, and manometer to verify outlet pressure. This repair should be performed by a licensed HVAC/R technician.
• Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty. Ships same business day from our warehouse when ordered before 3PM local time.

Compatibility: Engineered for the Carrier PG8MAA036045ABJA gas furnace. Also cross-compatible with select Bryant and Payne models using the same valve specification — confirm 24V coil voltage and 1/2" NPT connection on your unit's data plate before ordering. Note: this valve is approximately 7/8" longer than some legacy originals; a black metal nipple or coupling may be required for a direct pipe fit. Questions about fitment?
