The aim is to provide a gas control valve in which the specified desired value range can be subsequently shifted easily in order to optimize the range of settable temperatures for the heating device without exceeding the device- and/or installation-specific admissible use conditions. To this end, a setting element () which serves to change the position of a temperature-sensitive element () and thus to actuate a switch for activating a valve has a threaded part () that is screwable into the housing () of the gas control valve. In this case, the two are connected together in a rotationally secure manner via a releasable locking mechanism, wherein a tubular latching part () that is firmly connected to the threaded part () is arranged between the pot-like setting element (), partially surrounding the threaded part () with a recess (), and the threaded part (). By way of a stop element () that protrudes from the end side, the latching part () projects into a guiding contour () which is formed by an end-side aperture located in the setting element ().
