A block burner solenoid switches fuel to the burner in a block valve assembly.

What is a block burner solenoid?
A solenoid valve opens or closes when its coil is energised. On burners, solenoid valves start and stop the oil or gas; in water and refrigeration systems they switch flow automatically.
Coils are rated by voltage and power and must fit the valve stem. Therefore, replace a coil by brand, series, voltage and wattage.
