    New valve installed and she's silent so far. I also put a union by the valve this time like I should have the first time instead of way over by the valve.

    I'd like to thank everyone for helping!

    Single pipe 392sqft system with an EG-40 rated for 325sqft and it's silent and balanced at all times.

    Kudos on a super neat installation! Check your local codes regarding your union inside the boiler cabinet.

    Not sure how I missed this reply!?
    Spence thank you for your kind words as well as the recommendation regarding local code. Local inspector doesn't have against the union in the cabinet luckily.

    The new one is yep.
    The old one is in a box on the shelf for if I ever need it in an emergency.

    Congratulations on a job well done. The industry needs more like you. Do you allow cloning?

    Sadly, I'm not in the industry, just a homeowner but thank you for the kind words!

    I'm having the same buzzing with a VR8204c3007 gas valve on my Burnham. (Boiler was installed in early 1990s, I think 1993). I've been in the house for four years so I don't know if the gas valve is original. This valve buzzed intermittently last winter, and this morning was the first time I noticed it this winter - we've been in a severe cold snap here in Minnesota for the last week so my boiler's been working overtime. The indicator lights (yellow and green) are both in the "heartbeat" pattern so it's no clear indication of a problem, but I'm also not eager for my boiler to die! Should I be preventative and call a heating tech to just replace it?

    No have the tech come and test to see what is causing the buzzing then if it is the valve let him determine if it needs replaced.
