Having trouble with my boiler and think I need replacement gas valve but local parts companies are saying this part is obsolete

If its a 3/4 ITT Maclaren valve, I have a brand new one in my garage. Rare as hens teeth and priced as such.

 

[peteABC]

Thanks for the reply
Not certain if its ITT Mclaren valve but will check
It looks same as picture above with blue pilot handle but has brown one and inlet is 3/4"
If it is right one what price is it
Regards
Pete

havent seen an ITT Mclaren in years , am I right in thinking that the blue button was 24V DC and the brown was 240V AC ? cant really remember

 

[namsag]

No they where both 24v

 

[eussit]

No they where both 24v

Ok thanks for letting me know.
So, just out of curiosity if they are both 24v, what is the difference betwen the colours then?

 

[namsag]

One is brown one is blue purely age they used to be brown and grey .
BUT Years later the biggest manufacturer of as valves (honeywell ) associated blue with 24v and black with 240v and other manufacturers copied so ITT Mclaren gas valves fitted on domestic boilers where in the majority 24v and where coloured blue
