2" BSP Gas Solenoid Valve EN161 Normally Closed Elektrogas VMR62
The Elektrogas VMR62 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 VMR62 is engineered for continuous duty operation in demanding industrial environments. With an impressive flow capacity of 40 m³/hr and integrated flow adjustment, the valve is ideally suited to industrial burners, boilers, furnaces, kilns and process heating equipment requiring accurate gas flow control and dependable safety shut-off.
