A BV61-9G866-AA Ford purge valve should be chosen by the complete OE/OEM reference and a detailed comparison with the valve already installed. The verified NexuParts listing identifies this vapor canister purge valve for Ford Focus, Fiesta, and Escape applications and also lists reference number 0280142500. A model name or EVAP-related symptom alone is not enough to confirm the correct replacement.
What the BV61-9G866-AA Ford Purge Valve Listing Confirms
The verified product type is a vapor canister purge valve, also described as a purge solenoid valve. The listing provides OE/OEM references BV61-9G866-AA and 0280142500, while the NexuParts SKU is BV61-9G866-AA. Ford is the listed make, and Focus, Fiesta, and Escape are the listed model families. The package contains one valve. The product is active, in stock, and represented by real product photography.
These details are useful for narrowing a search, but they are not a universal fitment statement for every version of those vehicles. Start with the complete number on the original valve or a reliable vehicle-specific parts source. Then compare the original with the BV61-9G866-AA Ford vapor canister purge valve from every available angle.
Why an EVAP Code or Symptom Is Not a Part Number
A warning light, diagnostic code, starting concern, or drivability symptom may lead to inspection of the EVAP system. None of those observations identifies one exact replacement valve. Hoses, connectors, wiring, other vapor-control components, and unrelated vehicle conditions can require diagnosis.
Use an appropriate diagnostic process and vehicle-specific service information before ordering a part. If testing identifies the purge valve as the cause, perform a separate fitment review. Diagnosis determines what requires attention; the OE number and physical comparison determine which valve belongs on the vehicle.
Match BV61-9G866-AA or 0280142500 Exactly
Record the complete reference on the original part, including every letter, number, and separator. The verified listing identifies both BV61-9G866-AA and 0280142500, but a shortened or similar-looking number should not be treated as an automatic match.
- Read the complete label or molded reference on the installed valve.
- Confirm BV61-9G866-AA or 0280142500 through a reliable source for the exact vehicle.
- Record the VIN, model, engine, market, production date, and any relevant catalog notes.
- Compare secondary markings and symbols visible in the product photos.
- Resolve any different suffix, revision, or cross-reference before ordering.
If the original number cannot be read, take clear photos of the label, connector, vapor ports, housing, and mounting point. Provide those images with the VIN when requesting fitment assistance.
Compare the Electrical Connector and Pins
The connector is one of the most important physical checks. A valve with a similar housing may still use different electrical keying or terminal geometry.
- Connector shape: Match the outside profile and orientation.
- Visible pin arrangement: Compare the number and position of the terminals without touching them.
- Keying: Check grooves, guides, and molded features that control how the plug seats.
- Locking feature: Compare the latch, retaining tab, and the area where the vehicle plug engages.
- Connector position: Confirm its angle and location relative to the valve body and ports.
Do not force a vehicle connector onto a questionable replacement. If the plug shape, keying, or latch differs, stop and verify the application.
Compare the Vapor Ports and Housing
Next, place the original valve and listing photos in the same orientation. Examine the entire path from each hose connection to the body.
- match the number of vapor ports;
- compare port diameter, length, angle, and direction;
- check the lips, barbs, shoulders, or other hose-retention details;
- compare the housing outline, molded ribs, seams, and recessed areas;
- match every bracket, tab, clip, hole, or mounting feature;
- review any arrows, labels, and other orientation markings.
Use all available product images rather than judging the valve from the main photo. Small differences are easier to detect when the original is rotated to match each image.
Confirm the Exact Ford Application
The listing names Ford Focus, Fiesta, and Escape, but it does not provide a universal model-year, engine, trim, or market claim. Verify the exact application using the VIN and a dependable vehicle-specific reference. Connector and hose layouts can differ even when two vehicles share a model name.
For an example of a separate EVAP valve family, review the 06H906517H EVAP purge valve for listed Volkswagen, Audi, and Seat applications. It has a different OE number and different listed makes; it is not presented as interchangeable with the Ford valve. The comparison shows why a generic description such as “purge valve” cannot replace an exact OE-number check. Additional related products are available in the Filters & Fuel System collection.
Shipping and Package Details to Check
The verified listing states that the package includes one vapor canister purge valve. It ships from the China warehouse, with handling usually taking one to three business days and standard transit usually taking seven to twenty business days after dispatch. Delivery dates are estimates rather than guarantees. The listing also states free shipping for orders of $30 or more and a $5.99 shipping charge for orders below $30.
Review the current product page at checkout because order totals and shipping eligibility should be confirmed at the time of purchase.
Pre-Purchase Checklist
- Confirm the diagnosis. Do not select a valve only from a code or symptom.
- Match the OE reference. Verify BV61-9G866-AA or 0280142500 on the original part or through a reliable catalog.
- Confirm the vehicle. Record the VIN, Ford model, engine, market, production information, and relevant catalog notes.
- Compare the connector. Match shape, pins, keying, latch, and orientation.
- Compare the ports. Match count, size, angle, direction, and hose-retention details.
- Compare the housing. Check body shape, mounting features, labels, and every product image.
- Confirm quantity and delivery expectations. The package contains one valve and ships under the terms shown on the current listing.
Installation Planning
Use service information for the exact vehicle to confirm the valve location, testing procedure, electrical precautions, hose-release method, mounting sequence, and post-repair checks. Inspect accessible connectors and hoses for separate damage identified during diagnosis. If the procedure or testing is outside your experience, use a qualified repair professional.
Compare the replacement and original side by side before connecting or installing anything. Do not modify a connector, port, hose, or mounting point to make a doubtful part fit.
Frequently Asked Questions

What should I send for fitment help?
Send the product link, VIN, vehicle model and engine, original OE/OEM number, and clear photos of the original valve, connector, ports, and mounting area.
Choose a BV61-9G866-AA Ford Purge Valve with Evidence
