vintage furnace gas 3-way valve replacement

Stan Harris

My 1926 Control-o-gas furnace 3-way valve must be repacked with grease often to stop leaking. Where can I purchase a replacement? My furnace company says they are no longer available and I must "upgrade" to a thermostat system. I'd rather keep the same manual system.

He's probably right

but can you post a pic so we can see it?

I have converted

those systems over to powerpile and they work great. That is the only alternative as the valves are no longer made and I used up the last repair kit I had for them about five years ago.

Just curious does your system have a cast iron combustion chamber?
