Copeland Comfort Control 36J55-614 1/2-Inch Two-Stage Bottom Outlet Gas Valve

Description

The Copeland Comfort Control 36J55-614 is a 1/2-inch two-stage bottom outlet gas valve designed for residential gas furnaces and heating appliances requiring staged gas flow control for improved comfort and efficiency. Two-stage gas valves operate at a reduced first-stage firing rate on initial burner ignition and transition to full second-stage output on a call for additional heat, allowing the furnace to match heating output more closely to the actual load demand rather than operating at full capacity on every heating cycle. The bottom outlet configuration directs gas flow downward from the valve body, accommodating furnace burner configurations where the manifold and burner assembly are positioned below the gas valve. The 1/2-inch inlet and outlet sizing suits standard residential gas supply piping configurations. The 36J55-614 integrates the safety shutoff, pressure regulation, and two-stage flow control functions within a single valve body, receiving low-voltage operator signals from the furnace control board to sequence first and second stage firing in coordination with the thermostat demand and ignition control. As an OEM-quality Copeland Comfort Control replacement, the 36J55-614 is a direct-fit service component for residential furnaces specifying a two-stage bottom outlet gas valve in this inlet size and configuration.
