Elektrogas VMR EN161 Gas Solenoid Valve – Advanced Gas Safety Shut-Off Solution
At Solenoid Valve World, we proudly serve as authorised UK stockists for the **Elektrogas series of gas solenoid valves**. These valves are engineered for exceptional reliability and performance, providing an advanced solution for gas safety applications. We supply the **Elektrogas VMR**, **VMH auto reset**, and **EVRMNC manual reset** gas safety slam shut-off valves, designed to ensure the safe operation of a variety of industrial and commercial gas systems.
**Product Overview: Elektrogas VMR Series Gas Solenoid Valve**
The **Elektrogas VMR series** is a cutting-edge, **auto-reset fast-opening failsafe closed** gas safety valve. This valve operates on a **power-to-open/power-off** mechanism that automatically closes the valve in the event of a power failure, enhancing safety by preventing gas leaks. Certified to **EN161 Class A** standards, the VMR valve is suitable for use with air, natural gas, and other non-aggressive gases, as well as more challenging gases like **propane, coke oven gas (COG)**, and **biogas**. The VMR series is designed to meet the highest safety standards, with special versions available featuring **epoxy coatings** for added protection against aggressive gases, including **coke oven gas** and **biogas** containing hydrogen sulphide traces.
The VMR gas solenoid valves are ideal for a wide range of applications, including **gas-powered burners**, **gas boilers**, **industrial kilns**, and other critical gas appliances where stringent safety protocols are paramount.
