FAQ

Question?

What does 'Class A - Group 2' signify for this valve?

Answer: This refers to its classification under the EN 161 standard for automatic shut-off valves for gas burners and gas appliances. 'Class A' indicates a high level of sealing integrity (tight shut-off), and 'Group 2' specifies that it is suitable for use with manufactured gases, natural gas, and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG).

Can this valve be mounted in any orientation?

Answer: For optimal performance and longevity, Elektrogas typically recommends installing these valves with the solenoid coil in a vertical, upright position. Mounting it horizontally is often permissible, but installing it upside down should be avoided.

What is the purpose of the high starting power (180W) compared to the holding power (45W)?

Answer: Solenoid valves require a brief, high-power inrush (180W) to quickly overcome the internal spring force and open the valve mechanism. Once open, a much lower holding power (45W) is sufficient to keep it in the energized state, which reduces overall energy consumption and heat generation.
