Worcester Bracket Gas Valve 8716117867

Worcester

The Worcester Bracket Gas Valve (Part No. 8716117867) is a genuine OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) structural support component designed for the gas train assembly within Worcester Bosch Greenstar boilers. This metal bracket is engineered to hold the gas valve securely in its correct orientation, preventing mechanical strain on the gas supply pipework and the manifold connections. By absorbing the vibrations from the boiler’s fan and pump, it ensures the internal gas seals remain intact and leak-free.

Key Features and Specifications
Structural Stability: Provides a rigid mounting point for the gas valve, ensuring it remains perfectly aligned with the burner manifold.

Vibration Dampening: Helps minimize the transfer of operational vibrations to the gas train, which protects the integrity of the gas seals over time.

Genuine Worcester Bosch Part: Manufactured from high-grade, corrosion-resistant steel to meet the exact mounting tolerances of the Greenstar chassis.

Precision-Drilled Mounting Points: Features factory-accurate holes for a "first-time fit," ensuring that the gas valve and associated pipework line up exactly as designed.

Safety Essential: Prevents the heavy gas valve assembly from sagging or putting undue leverage on the sensitive aluminum threads of the gas train.

Boiler Compatibility
This mounting bracket is a standard fitment across many models in the core Greenstar range. Compatible appliances include:

Greenstar CDi (Classic & Highflow): 25CDi, 30CDi, 35CDi, 40CDi, 42CDi.

Technical Tip: While brackets are durable, they can become bent or corroded if there has been a significant internal leak. If you are replacing a gas valve, it is essential to ensure the bracket is perfectly straight; even a minor misalignment can cause the gas gaskets to seat incorrectly, leading to dangerous leaks.
