1" BSP Gas Solenoid Valve EN161 Normally Closed Elektrogas VMR32
The Elektrogas VMR32 is a high-capacity EN161 Class A certified gas safety solenoid valve designed for rapid shut-off and reliable 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 dependable protection for industrial gas installations, gas trains and burner systems.
Manufactured from corrosion-resistant aluminium with EN549 certified NBR gas seals, the VMR32 is designed for continuous duty operation and is widely used on industrial burners, boilers, furnaces, kilns and process heating equipment. Its integrated flow adjustment enables precise gas flow control whilst the built-in 600-micron filter protects both valve components and downstream equipment from contamination.
