OEM Carrier Gas Valve 24V Natural Gas 3.5" WC for Model PG8MEA024045AAJA

This OEM combination gas valve (part #EF32CW210) is the factory-authorized replacement for the Carrier PG8MEA024045AAJA gas furnace. The gas valve is the critical component that controls the flow of natural gas from the supply line to the burner assembly. Operated by a 24V control signal from the furnace control board, it opens on a confirmed call for heat and closes instantly on any safety lockout. When this valve fails, the most common symptoms are complete no-heat with no gas flow, repeated ignition attempts with no flame establishment, or an audible click from the valve with no gas delivery. Do not attempt to repair a faulty gas valve — replacement is always required.

• Specs: 24V AC, 50/60Hz | Natural gas | Inlet/outlet: 1/2" NPT | Pressure regulator factory-set to 3.5" W.C. | Replaces legacy part 36J24-618 (White Rodgers)
• OEM vs Generic: This is a genuine Carrier Factory Authorized Part, manufactured to exact pressure, flow, and electrical specifications. Aftermarket gas valves may have inconsistent pressure regulation, risking incomplete combustion, nuisance lockouts, or unsafe operation. OEM is strongly recommended for all gas-train components.
• Install difficulty: 3/5 — Gas valve replacement requires shutting off the gas supply at the service valve, relieving line pressure, and carefully transferring all wiring and tubing connections. Tools needed: pipe wrench, adjustable wrench, gas leak detector solution or electronic sniffer, manometer for outlet pressure verification. Gas work should be performed by a licensed technician in jurisdictions requiring it.
• Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty against defects. Ships same business day from our warehouse on in-stock orders.
