Description
The York S1 6257916 is a ½ inch natural gas valve (gas control valve) designed for use in compatible furnaces and HVAC systems. It regulates the flow of natural gas (or propane with conversion kit, depending on configuration) to the burner assembly, supplying the correct amount of fuel when needed and shutting off flow when the system is idle or in a safety lockout. As an OEM specified valve — often a direct replacement for older valve models like VR8204M1026 — the S1 6257916 ensures proper fit, safe gas regulation, and reliable furnace operation when replacing a failing or worn valve.
Key Features
- Connection Size: ½ inch inlet/outlet (1/2″ x 1/2″) — standard size for many residential/commercial furnaces.
- Gas Compatibility: Natural gas (and in many cases compatible with propane when used with appropriate conversion kit).
- OEM / Brand: Genuine York valve — ensures correct specifications, safety and compatibility with York / affiliated furnace models.
- Replacement Cross Reference: Replaces older valve number VR8204M1026 — a useful detail if you’re matching to a legacy unit.
