8. Gas Valve (Figure 6)
The  ML180UHE(X)  uses  an  internally  redundant  gas 
valve to assure safety  shut-o. If the gas valve  must  be 
replaced, the same type valve must be used. 24VAC ter-
minals and valve switch are located on the valve. All ter-
minals on the gas valve are connected to wires from the 
integrated control. 24V applied to the terminals energizes 
the valve.
Inlet and outlet pressure taps are located on the valve. A 
regulator adjustment screw is located on the valve. LPG 
changeover  kits  are  available  from  Lennox.  Kits  include 
burner orices and a gas valve regulator spring.
9. Combustion Air Inducer (B6)
All  ML180UHE(X)  units  use a  combustion  air  inducer  to 
move air through the burners and heat exchanger during 
heating operation. The blower uses a 120VAC motor. The 
motor  operates  during  all  heating  operation  and  is  con-
trolled by integrated control A92. The inducer also  oper-
ates for 15 seconds before burner ignition (pre-purge) and 
for 5  seconds after  the  gas valve  closes (post-purge). A 
pressure  switch  mounted on  the  combustion  air  inducer 
orice plate is used to prove inducer operation. The com-
bustion air inducer orice will be dierent for each model.
See table 7 for orice sizes. The switch monitors air pres-
sure in the inducer housing. During normal operation, the 
pressure in the housing is negative. If pressure becomes 
less  negative  (signifying  any  obstruction  in  the  ue)  the 
pressure switch opens. When the pressure switch opens, 
the integrated control (A92) immediately de-energizes the 
gas valve to prevent burner operation.

10. Ignitor (Figure 6)
The nitride ignitor used on ML180UHE units is made from 
a proprietary ceramic material. To check ignitor, measure 
its resistance  and voltage. A  value of  39 to  70  ohms in-
dicates  a  good  ignitor.  Voltage  to  the  ignitor  should  be 
120VAC. See gure 9 for resistance, and voltage check.
NOTE - The ML180UHE(X) furnace contains electronic 
components that are polarity sensitive. Make sure that the 
furnace is wired correctly and is properly grounded.
