Full Port Vs. Reduced Port Gas Shut Off- Valve
Why port size matters for appliance performance.
The two valves pictured here look nearly identical from the exterior, but the interior design is significant.
Depending on the design, a partial (reduced) port gas shut off valve can add upwards of 10 feet of developed length to the overall gas calculations.
In Gas sensitive applications and appliances, a simple change to a full port valve can avoid restriction of flow, nuisance lockouts, and inefficient operation.
