ABSTRACT:
A junction box is operable with a gas valve and includes an enclosure having one or more mechanical coupling features arranged to interface with one or more mating features of the gas valve. An electrical terminal strip is disposed within the enclosure and a quick-disconnect electrical connector is disposed on a surface of the enclosure. The quick-disconnect electrical connector is coupled to a mating connector of the gas valve when the mechanical coupling features are interfaced with the mating features of the gas valve. The junction box includes a current carrying element that electrically couples the electrical terminal strip with the quick-disconnect electrical connector. The enclosure includes an opening that facilitates access to at least the electrical terminal strip, and includes one or more access voids disposed to allow electrical wires to enter the enclosure.
