Electromagnetic threaded valve for heating gases - 3/4"; 500mbar; NC; brass IVAR.M16-RMO

Product detailed description

Electromagnetic valves are essential components in gas heating systems, ensuring controlled and safe operation. This valve is typically installed in residential and commercial heating systems where gaseous fuels such as natural gas or propane are used. It is commonly integrated into boiler circuits, gas-fired water heaters, and industrial heating applications where precise control of gas flow is required. The valve is designed to respond to signals from gas concentration detectors or power interruptions, ensuring system safety in the event of a fault.

Installers working with gas systems must ensure proper integration of such valves to maintain system integrity and safety. The valve is intended for use in environments where the operating temperature can vary significantly, from cold storage conditions to typical indoor temperatures. It is suitable for both new installations and system retrofits, provided the existing infrastructure supports the required pressure and electrical specifications.

Installation and connection

This valve is equipped with a 3/4 inch threaded connection, compatible with standard gas piping systems. Prior to installation, verify that the system pressure does not exceed 500 mbar and that the operating temperature remains within the specified range of -20°C to +60°C. Ensure that the valve is installed in a position that allows for manual override in case of power failure. Common installation errors include incorrect orientation, failure to check for gas leaks after installation, and neglecting to verify the electrical connection. The valve requires a 230 V AC power supply at 50/60 Hz. For alternative voltage options (12 V or 24 V), contact the manufacturer for availability.Compatibility and accessories This valve is compatible with gas systems using natural gas (CO) and propane (PB) and is designed to integrate with gas detectors and control systems that provide the necessary electrical signal. No additional accessories are required for standard installation. However, for custom voltage requirements, specific power supplies must be ordered separately. Related products include other electromagnetic valves from the IVAR range, which may be suitable for alternative system configurations.Technical background for designers This normally closed (NC) valve operates by allowing gas flow when energized and closing when power is removed. The valve body is constructed from brass OT 58, a material known for its durability and resistance to corrosion in gas environments. The operating principle relies on an electromagnetic coil that generates a magnetic field to open the valve. The valve is rated for a maximum operating pressure of 500 mbar and a nominal pressure (PN) of 6. The IP65 rating ensures protection against dust and water jets, making it suitable for both indoor and semi-protected outdoor environments. The service life of the valve is influenced by the frequency of operation, the quality of the gas supply, and the stability of the electrical supply.Service and operation Routine maintenance is not required for this valve unless specified by the system operator. However, it is recommended to periodically check for gas leaks and ensure that the electrical connections remain secure. In the event of a power failure, the valve will automatically close, preventing uncontrolled gas flow. If the valve fails to respond to control signals, inspect the electrical supply and the integrity of the coil. No specific service intervals are provided in the technical documentation.Frequently asked questions
