Description

2½" (DN65) Gas Solenoid Valve EN161 Normally Closed Elektrogas VMR72


The Elektrogas VMR72 is a high-capacity EN161 Class A certified gas safety solenoid valve designed for rapid shut-off and dependable control of natural gas, LPG, air and specialist fuel gases. Featuring a normally closed fail-safe design, the valve opens when energised and automatically closes within one second when power is removed, providing reliable protection for industrial gas installations, gas trains and burner systems.

Manufactured from corrosion-resistant aluminium with EN549 certified NBR gas seals, the VMR72 is engineered for continuous duty operation in demanding industrial environments. With a substantial flow capacity of 63 m³/hr and integrated flow adjustment, the valve is ideally suited to industrial burners, furnaces, boilers, kilns and process heating systems requiring dependable gas isolation and precise flow control.
