OEM Carrier Natural Gas Valve for Furnace PG8MAA036070AEJA

The gas valve is the heart of your Carrier PG8MAA036070AEJA's heating cycle. It meters the precise flow of gas to the burners on every call for heat and shuts that flow off the instant the control board or a safety device tells it to. When this valve fails, the symptoms are unmistakable: the inducer and igniter run through their normal startup but the burners never light, leaving cold air at the registers and a furnace that locks out after several failed ignition attempts. A weak or sticking valve can also cause delayed ignition (a small 'whoomp' as gas pools then lights), short-cycling, or heat that comes and goes as the internal solenoid hangs up. This is a 24-volt redundant gas valve with dual internal solenoids and a built-in pressure regulator. It holds stable manifold pressure — typically about 3.5" W.C. on natural gas — so the burners fire cleanly and the heat exchanger sees a consistent, properly shaped flame. It is field-convertible to LP with the correct orifice and conversion kit. Why OEM matters here: gas is not the place for guesswork. Generic valves frequently regulate to looser pressure tolerances, which leads to sooting, lazy flames, and premature heat-exchanger stress, and many lack the redundant safety solenoid this furnace was certified with. The genuine Carrier valve matches the original regulator setpoint and listing exactly. Install difficulty: 3/5. Tools: 1/4" and 5/16" nut drivers, adjustable wrench, gas-rated thread sealant, manometer, and leak-detector solution. #1 safety warning: shut off gas at the manual shutoff valve and kill power before disconnecting anything, then soap-test every joint for bubbles before relighting.
