The picture shows a red knob on the gas valve. My old has a black one that I don't like. It appears to be a different valve. Is this unit Red?

the older units had a black control knob. The new model has a red knob but lights the same as the older model. everything connects at the same position as the old.

Joe, My old unit had a red knob as well. The one I received has a black one. I don't mind the black knob but I have been unable to get the burner to ignite thus far. But, I haven't had ample time to ensure the gas supply is sufficient. By the way, this heater is installed in a 1985 Holiday Rambler "Monitor" Class C motorhome. The original unit was marvelous. We had more hot water than we needed however, the water tank was made of steel and it rusted out. That is why I bought the new unit.

We didn't have the red gasket but the larger gray one that didn't have any adhesive on the bottom. We were not able to use the flush valve in the kit because that one needed lug screws and our old flush valve doesn't have screws because you twist into place and that secures it to the tank.

Make sure the part number matches what you have now. The didn't match mine completely, but it's the same valve and the labeling is upsidedown. I remember the ports, so it doesn't matter.

Yes, that looks like IT! I have the same one. if it's red it is the only one.

Its the gas adjustment knob. Its a rotary knob in the black version, and its a slider in stingray blue

This is a newer model Rinnai. The older models allowed the gas lines to be located behind the unit out of sight. The instructions per this unit wanted the gas line showing outside of the unit with access to the shutoff valve. This change might be more of a code issue than what Rinnai actually needs. Either Rinnai or a licensed heating sub would be able to split that hair to definitively answer. You could also google the model # and get the installation manual online. You would be able to read for yourself the gas requirements.

Hello Consumer,That red is a slighly different red. The cookware to me appears a bit brighter. Thank you for allowing me to be of service to you. Kind regards, Audrey Consumer Relations

The you tube video Ace referenced is good. Watch it first. Also agree that you should replace the small washer on the black plastic screw that holds it all together. Both come in the washer kit. My large gasket was blue same as the original... not red as in the video. I don't know what if any difference there is between the two colors.

Its has a 3/8" adapter with valve (red) connected via a flexible line to the orifice. So the sequence from the gas line will be gas line -> 1/2" to 3/8" reducer -> 3/8" adapter -> 2" flexible gas line -> orifice. All components except the reducer is included and in under the burner. However, if you are building a custom fire-pit placing/positioning the 3/8" adapter with valve is a pain.

No it is a two way valve, I am very satisfied with it the only problem is it is a bit difficult to turn. It is well made.

I saw where it says, other people also ordered the valve, in the box below the product. I verified that it was the correct valve on google.

No, there are different models. Mine is Red. The on off switch is on top. It is confusing because most are closest to the base so it gets annoying since I constantly change settings thinking I am turning it on and off

it your old one looks like this one. there is two styles that I am aware of. emergency flasher that comes out on top of the column. and one that is on the side of your column. this is the one that comes out on top. this had a cruse switch. mine not have cruse. but still fit. not need cruse control.

Are you talking about the black seal and red seal? Is the red seal already on the flush valve? If you have the triangular opening for the flush valve you don't need the red seal anyway.

The red button has nothing to do with the unit. I believe it was from a previous model and for what ever reason was not removed, just turn the dial allowing gas to flow while holding a lit grill lighter to the grill / frontal element. When it lights you can adjust the high or low dial to your comfort.

The one that I received from Amazon is not like in the photo. Mine has a small round knob on the extension. The knob at the elbow looks to be like the photo. I don't have any complaints about it.
