Goodman is a leading supplier of heating, ventilation, air conditioning and indoor air quality products. Goodman manufactures gas valves for residential furnaces.
The Goodman gas valve comprises two brass discs that are held securely together with a union nut to form a chamber between them. When the lever on the outside of the body is turned, it pushes on the shaft inside, causing an opening in the upper disc to allow airflow into and out of the chamber depending on which way it turns: clockwise to open an intake port by pushing inward; counterclockwise to close it again and exhaust gases out.
