There is no oxygen depletion sensor on any Heatilator, Heat&Glo or Quadrafire gas fireplaces. ODS pilots are for ventfree appliances. The only ventfree HHT builds are electric. They did make a hydrogren fireplace that burns water but they only built 3 and quit since they sold for about $70K each. :D
So, what's with this air diffuser guy? Spamming every thread he can?
To re-iterate, you should get your parts only from the mfr., which means through one of their dealers. If there isn't a retailer near you, you can always purchase through their owned distribution of FireSide Hearth & Home.

Did your old valve have a bad magnet? What was the original problem? If the pilot would not stay lit then you only need to blow the dust out the pilot saftey. Over the summer the dust buildup makes the oxygen depletion chamber think the breathable oxygen in the room is low. Simply flushing out the pilot with rustbuster helps keep from damaging the delicate ODS flap on the pilot.

Sorry another quick thought. Take the gas valve to a fireplace dealer and ask him if they have an exact replacement. If there is a Johnstones supply near you they might have a close replica as well. Johnstones usually have very helpful staff.
$200 seems like an awful lot for a gas valve.
hope this helps

It sounds like one is using a thermocouple ,, and the new one is for an electronic ignition???
If you give us the model #'s of the gas valves we would be able to help better.
