The part
Change the modulating gas valve on Ferroli Modena HE 30C for hard ignition, F27 flame-lift or repeated flame loss faults.
Isolate safely
Cap the gas at the isolator, disconnect the multi-pin harness and undo the gas valve union. Fit a new fibre washer.
Fit and commission
Perform a full gas rate and combustion analysis after fitting the Ferroli Modena HE 30C valve — CO/CO2 ratio must fall inside the OEM window.

Run a full flue-gas analysis after 15 minutes. Log the reading against the OEM commissioning envelope in the Benchmark book.
