What it is
The Vaillant 053255 is a gas valve manufactured by Vaillant for use in its standard water heater range. It sits on the gas line upstream of the burner and regulates the flow of gas into the combustion chamber, opening on a call for heat and closing when demand ends. Correct operation of the valve is central to safe ignition, stable flame and consistent modulation of the burner.
Signs this part needs replacing
- The burner fails to light, or lights and then drops out shortly afterwards
- Repeated lockout or ignition fault codes when heat is demanded
- Flame is weak, unstable or does not modulate as expected
- A smell of gas or visible signs of leakage around the valve body or its joints
- Clicking, whistling or unusual noise from the valve area during a firing cycle
Before you order
- Note the appliance model and GC number from the data badge and confirm they match the part required
- Check the valve connections and mounting against the existing component before fitting
- Confirm whether a gasket or seal kit is needed for the gas joint being disturbed
- This part is fitted to a gas appliance; installation must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
