1. A double solenoid gas valve comprising:
a housing having an inlet, a first outlet and a second outlet;
first and second valve seats located in the housing in fluid communication with the inlet;
first and second solenoids respectively directing pistons selectively against the first and second valve seats in a closed configuration, and respectively selectively operable between the closed configuration and an open configuration, wherein when the first solenoid is in the open configuration a first fluid flow path is established through the first valve seat and when the second solenoid is in the open configuration, a second fluid flow path is established through the second valve seat;
an inlet chamber receiving portions of the first and second solenoids and through which the first and second valve seats respectively transition from the closed to open configuration;
a restriction in the second fluid flow path within the housing thereby resulting in a lower flow rate through the second fluid flow path than a flow rate through the first flow path when both first and second solenoids are in the open configuration;
a cross bore; and
a plug defining a cavity of the cross bore;
wherein said first valve seat is in fluid communication with the first outlet, and the second valve seat is in fluid communication with the second outlet, and flow thorough the first outlet is not in fluid communication with flow through the second outlet; and
wherein the first outlet is oriented perpendicularly to the cross bore, said cross bore in fluid communication with the inlet through the first and second flow paths.
