OEM Carrier Gas Valve EF32CW210 — 24V Natural Gas, 3.5" WC, 1/2" NPT for Model PG8MEA024045ACJA

This OEM combination gas valve is the factory-specified replacement for the Carrier PG8MEA024045ACJA gas furnace. The gas valve is the critical component that controls natural gas flow into the burner assembly, opening on a 24V signal from the control board after the inducer, pressure switch, and igniter have all proven operation. When this valve fails, the furnace will attempt ignition, the igniter will glow, but no flame will be established — resulting in a lockout fault code and a cold home. It may also fail intermittently, causing the furnace to light erratically or not at all on the first call for heat.

• Specs: 24V coil voltage | 50/60 Hz | Natural gas | Inlet/outlet: 1/2" NPT | Pressure regulator factory set to 3.5" W.C. | Replaces legacy White Rodgers 36J24-618
• OEM vs Generic: This is a genuine Carrier Factory Authorized Part (OEM part number EF32CW210). OEM valves are pre-set to the correct manifold pressure from the factory — no field calibration required. Aftermarket valves often require pressure adjustment and may not meet UL/CSA certification requirements for your specific appliance.
• Install difficulty: 3/5 — Gas valve replacement requires shutting off the gas supply, relieving line pressure, and carefully reconnecting gas piping with leak-tested fittings. Tools needed: adjustable wrench, pipe thread sealant, manometer (for pressure verification), multimeter. Always verify gas pressure at the manifold tap after installation. This repair is best performed by a licensed HVAC technician.
• Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty. In-stock and ships same business day from our NationalHVACParts.com warehouse.
