ICP Gas Valve Support Bracket for RGS102HFCA0AAA — OEM 1178238 | Ships Today

Overview

The OEM Gas Valve Support Bracket (Part No. 1178238) is the factory steel mounting bracket that secures the gas valve assembly inside your ICP/Tempstar/Heil RGS102HFCA0AAA gas furnace. It positions the valve at the correct height and angle relative to the manifold and burner assembly, holds the valve rigidly against vibration during ignition and operation, and maintains proper alignment of the inlet and outlet gas connections. A correctly mounted valve is critical for safe combustion: if the bracket is bent, corroded, or missing, the valve can shift and stress the manifold piping, leading to gas leaks, misalignment of the burner flame, or nuisance lockouts. This is a genuine OEM bracket built to the original specification, so the bolt pattern and standoff dimensions match the furnace cabinet exactly.

Specifications

Compatibility

Engineered for the ICP, Tempstar, and Heil RGS102HFCA0AAA gas furnace and other RGS-series models that share the same gas valve and manifold assembly. Always confirm your model and serial number before ordering. This OEM bracket replaces a worn, corroded, or damaged factory bracket and restores the original valve geometry.

Installation Guide

1. Safety First — Shut off the gas supply at the manual shutoff valve and disconnect electrical power to the furnace. Verify zero voltage with a multimeter before working.
2. Access — Remove the furnace front service/burner panel to expose the gas valve and manifold.
3. Document — Photograph the bracket orientation, valve position, and any wiring or tubing routed near it before disconnecting anything.
4. Remove — Loosen the manifold union if required, unbolt the gas valve from the old bracket, then remove the fasteners holding the bracket to the cabinet.
5. Install — Mount the new bracket to the cabinet, reattach the gas valve, and reconnect the manifold per your photos, ensuring the valve sits square and unstressed.
6. Test — Restore gas and power, leak-check all joints with soap solution, and verify a clean ignition and steady burner flame.

Signs You Need a Replacement

• Visible rust, cracking, or bending of the existing valve bracket.
• Gas valve sits loose, tilts, or vibrates during burner operation.
• Manifold or valve connections under mechanical stress or showing leaks.
• Bracket damaged during a previous valve replacement.
