Control Suffix Gas Type Control Option Description
N2/L2 Natural/Propane For single or multi-zone installations using central or multiple thermostats. This 24 volt AC zone type control can also operate using a 12 volt DC inverter as a backup. The gas valve includes a built-in regulator. A 24 volt power supply is required. Zone control panel (Part No. 43619050) and/or 24 volt thermostat, computer or environmental controller is required. 100% gas safety shut-off valve.
L3 Propane A modulating type HI/LO control with integral thermostat. No electrical supply is needed. Upon call for heat, valve will open from pilot to low fire (25,000 BTU/Hr.) and modulate between low and high fire as necessary to maintain desired temperature setting. When thermostat has been satisfied, valve will modulate down to low fire and the drop to pilot. 100% gas safety shut-off valve.
N5/L5 Natural/Propane A 3-try direct spark ignition control for single or multi-zone installations. Gas valve includes a built-in regulator. A 24 volt power supply is required. Zone control panel (Part No. 43619050) and/or 24 volt thermostat, computer or environmental controller is required. For individual control, a unique thermostat (Part No. 43317050) is available.
N9/L9 Natural/Propane An individual, non electric, fully automatic On/Off control with integral thermostat which operates on millivolts generated by the pilot – no electrical supply needed. Integral thermostat features a wide temperature range for easy adjustment. 100% gas safety shut-off valve.
