This part is a genuine OEM gas valve made for use with gas-powered ranges. The gas valve ensures that gas can enter the appliance so that the burners can light. If the gas valve is faulty in any way, such as being bent, dented, detached, or otherwise rendered ineffective, it could prevent the burners from lighting or may weaken the strength of the flame. Before replacing the gas valve, put on work gloves to prevent injuries to the hands and disconnect the range from the power and gas sources.This part is manufactured by Bosch and has been sourced directly from the manufacturer. It is sold individually. This gas valve is manufactured from high-quality, durable, non-corrosive metal and other materials. It is an authentic replacement part and thus is compatible with ranges manufactured by Bosch, Thermador, and Gaggenau.
