How does the gas safety valve work on a home forced air furnace?

The gas valve is an electrically powered device that is wired at the end of a series circuit so that it can only be energized (open) if all of the safety switches upstream in the circuit are closed and the pilot flame is lit on a standing pilot furnace.

How does a furnace heat a house?
This is how a furnace heats your home. When the thermostat calls for heat, a signal is sent to the gas valve. If you have an older unit, the gas valve checks to see that the thermocouple sees the pilot and if it does, the gas valve opens to send gas to the burners. If you have a newer furnace, the thermostat sends a signal to start the pilit ignition sequence (either spark or hot plate) and then the flame rod sees the pilot (of the hot plate is up to temp.) the gas valve opens to send gas to the burner. The fan control will then send a signal to the blower to start up. As the temp rises in the room, the thermostat sends a signal back to the gas valve to close as it reaches the set point on the thermostat and the blower continues to run until the set point on the fan control is reached and it shuts off ending the cycle.
