Gas valve on Utica USC gas boiler
Within 6 months we had to replace the gas valve on a 4 yrs old UTICA USC propane gas boiler.Had 3 different gas boiler repairman we need to prevent it to break but can't find the cause?Spent 1900$ in 6 months.Last time valve last 2 months.
Any clues?
Even had power cie checking the line.
Fan works boiler won't fire then they change gas valve.

The gas valve wouldn't have been manufactured by the boiler company, Utica.
Why did it take three repairman to replace the gas valve, which is a one-man DIY job? Or did the gas valve fail three times? If it failed repeatedly, what about the warranty? Did you ask the repair guy about that?
Based on the limited info you posted, I don't think the cause of the failure can be discerned over the internet.

# different guys came within 6 months and every one of them changed a gas valve.
No warranty on furnace second homeowner.Utica don't talk to customers only company and their warranty is only for 1st homeowner.
Gas valve has no warranty.
Every gas boiler repairman says something causing the failure nobody knows what it is .

Gas valves rarely fail so it almost is a sure bet that something external to the gas valve caused the failure. Most likely would be extremely high gas pressure on the valve or incorrect voltage to the valve operator. Troubleshooting should not be a serious problem for a COMPETENT technician.
