OEM Lennox Gas Valve — 71W96

The genuine OEM Lennox 71W96 gas valve regulates and delivers fuel to the burners in your Lennox gas furnace, opening on the call for heat and shutting off precisely when the cycle ends. As the heart of the combustion system, it works with the ignition control and safety circuit to provide safe, reliable, and properly metered gas flow.

A failing gas valve typically shows up as no heat, a furnace that ignites intermittently, delayed ignition or rough burner startup, an unusual gas odor, or a unit that locks out on safety. Because the valve controls live fuel, any hesitation, clicking without ignition, or failure to open should be addressed promptly by a qualified technician.

Using the OEM Lennox 71W96 ensures the exact pressure regulation, manifold rating, and electrical characteristics required for safe combustion in your specific Lennox model. Gas valves are safety-critical components — a non-OEM substitute with different regulation or ratings can cause improper firing, overheating, or hazardous conditions. Always install the factory-specified valve and verify operation with a professional.
