DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
1. Description and Operation (See Figure 1)
A. Part Numbers C422425 and C422685
The Gas Vent Valve is a solenoid operated poppet shutoff valve. The valve is normally spring-
loaded to its open position. When the solenoid is energized, the solenoid plunger overcomes
the spring force to close the valve. Refer to Figure 2 for the electrical schematic diagram. Refer
to Table 2 for the characteristics and specifications.

The Gas Vent Valve is a solenoid operated poppet shutoff valve. The valve is normally spring-
loaded to its closed position. When the solenoid is energized, the solenoid plunger overcomes
the spring force to open the valve. Refer to Figure 2 for the electrical schematic diagram. Refer
