OEM Carrier Gas Valve 24V Natural Gas 3.5" WC for Model PG8MAA036045AEJA

This is the factory OEM replacement combination gas valve for the Carrier PG8MAA036045AEJA gas furnace. The gas valve is the critical component that controls natural gas flow into the burner assembly. Controlled by a 24V signal from the furnace control board, it opens on a call for heat to allow gas to flow to the burners and closes immediately when the heat demand is satisfied or a safety limit is tripped. When this valve fails, the most common symptom is a complete no-heat condition — the inducer and igniter activate, but no gas flows, causing the control board to lock out after one or two failed ignition attempts. Other failure signs include a stuck-open valve (gas odor with no call for heat) or an out-of-tolerance gas pressure causing weak or unstable flame.

• Specs: 24V AC coil | Natural gas | 3.5" W.C. outlet pressure (factory set) | 1/2" NPT inlet & outlet | 50/60 Hz | Replaces OEM cross-reference 36J24-618
• OEM vs Generic: This is a genuine Carrier factory-authorized part (EF32CW210). OEM gas valves are pressure-calibrated at the factory to exact W.C. specifications. Aftermarket valves frequently require field adjustment and may not carry UL/AGA approval for your specific appliance — risking warranty voidance and code compliance issues.
• Install difficulty: 3/5 — Gas valve replacement requires shutting off the manual gas supply, relieving line pressure, disconnecting wiring harness connectors and two gas line fittings, and verifying outlet pressure with a manometer after reinstallation. Tools needed: adjustable wrench, 5/16" nut driver, manometer, pipe thread sealant (gas-rated). Always leak-test all fittings with approved solution before restoring power.
• Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty. In-stock units ship same business day from our warehouse.
