What it is

The Johnson & Starley S00870 is a solenoid valve assembly used on Eljan and Hijan water heaters. It replaces the Parker solenoid valve previously fitted to these appliances. The valve opens and closes the gas supply to the burner under the control of the appliance's control circuit.

Signs this part needs replacing

  • Appliance fails to ignite or repeatedly locks out
  • No gas flow to the burner when heat is demanded
  • Solenoid coil shows open circuit or no continuity
  • Audible click from the valve but no change in gas flow
  • Intermittent firing or unexplained shutdowns

Before you order

  • Confirm the appliance model matches one of the fitments listed
  • Check the marking on the existing solenoid valve against the Parker reference
  • Test the coil resistance and wiring before condemning the valve
  • Isolate the gas and electrical supplies before fitting
