The original Honeywell RF Valve 700-107 NG went bad in my Kozy Heat Chaska-XL fireplace. What is the cheapest retrofit I could do? I don't need a remote - I'm ok to control it from underneath.

What tests did you perform in order to determine that you have a bad valve? They don’t fail very often…
Getting sufficient mv, pilot lights, but goes out when releasing gas start knob even after keeping it going for a few minutes. I'm being told that this is a common problem with this valve. I'm willing to give up the control of the fan and flame height from a remote and just control it from underneath.
We have same issue. Local fireplace company just inspected, said only option is to replace entire fireplace. Any help appreciated.
I am definitely interested in purchasing your Honeywell valve, assuming you will warrant that it is still working? Please provide the model number and how much you would charge. Thank you
I would not ever purchase a used Honeywell valve. These Honeywell Valves are terrible.
I live in the PNW and we are constantly doing conversion kits on these. They have many issues such as dead shorts, where the pilot will stay lit by when you turn the knob from pilot to on it'll shut off.
You don't need to replace the entire fireplace. That's assanine. They sell conversion kits that bolt right up.
If you have any questions feel free to message me. But I strongly would recommend not purchasing a used one
