Electromagnetic threaded valve for heating gases - 3/4"; PN 6; NC; brass IVAR.M16-RMO

Product detailed description

Electromagnetic valves are essential components in heating systems where gas supply must be controlled and isolated in response to system signals or power failure. This valve is commonly used in residential and commercial heating systems where safety and reliability are critical. Installers and service technicians work with these valves in boiler rooms, gas lines, and central heating units to ensure safe and efficient operation. The valve is designed to close automatically in the event of a power outage, preventing uncontrolled gas flow and ensuring system safety.

Correct selection and installation of the valve are crucial for system performance. The valve must be compatible with the gas type, system pressure, and control signals. It is often integrated with gas detectors and control panels to provide automated shut-off in emergency situations. The normally closed (NC) function ensures that the valve remains shut unless energised, making it suitable for safety-critical applications.

The valve is rated for a nominal pressure of PN 6, making it suitable for low-pressure gas systems. The operating temperature range extends down to -20 °C, allowing for use in cold environments. The body is made of brass OT 58, a material that offers good corrosion resistance and mechanical strength. These parameters are essential for determining the valve’s suitability for specific system conditions and ensuring long-term reliability.Installation and connection The valve is installed in gas lines using 3/4 inch threaded connections. It is important to ensure that the threads are clean and properly sealed with thread sealant or PTFE tape to prevent gas leakage. The valve should be mounted in a position that allows for easy access for manual override and inspection. During installation, the orientation of the valve must follow the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure correct operation. Common mistakes include incorrect thread sealing, improper orientation, and failure to check the manual override function after installation.Compatibility and accessories This valve is compatible with gas supply systems using natural gas (NG) and propane (LPG). It is typically used in conjunction with gas detectors and control panels that provide the electrical signal for valve operation. For complete system integration, it may be necessary to order additional components such as control relays, electrical wiring, and mounting brackets. Related products include other electromagnetic valves from IVAR, such as the IVAR.M16-RM and IVAR.M16-RMP models, which offer similar functionality for different system requirements.Technical background for designers The valve operates on an electromagnetic principle, where energising the coil opens the valve and de-energising it closes it. The normally closed (NC) function ensures that the valve remains shut unless a control signal is applied. The brass body provides good durability and resistance to corrosion, making it suitable for long-term use in gas systems. The valve is designed to integrate with control systems that monitor gas concentration and system status, ensuring rapid response in emergency situations. The service life and efficiency of the valve depend on proper installation, regular maintenance, and the quality of the control signals it receives.Service and operation The valve requires minimal maintenance but should be inspected periodically for signs of wear, leakage, or mechanical failure. The manual override function should be tested regularly to ensure it operates correctly in an emergency. No specific service intervals are provided in the technical data, but it is recommended to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for system-specific maintenance. In the event of a malfunction, the valve should be replaced or repaired by a qualified technician to ensure continued system safety.Frequently asked questions

Can the valve be used with natural gas and propane?
Yes, the valve is compatible with both natural gas (NG) and propane (LPG) systems.

What is the minimum operating temperature for the valve?
The valve can operate at temperatures as low as -20 °C, making it suitable for cold environments.

Is the valve normally open or normally closed?
The valve is normally closed (NC), meaning it remains shut unless energised by an electrical signal.

Can the valve be manually opened?
Yes, the valve includes a manual override function that allows it to be opened manually in an emergency.
