PNI Safe House Kit 200, gas sensor and solenoid valve kit 3/4"

Product detailed description

The PNI-SH200 gas detection system is commonly installed in residential properties to monitor for dangerous gas leaks. This system is typically used in homes with gas heating systems, cookers or other gas appliances. The gas sensor continuously monitors the air for flammable and toxic gases while the solenoid valve can automatically shut off the gas supply when a leak is detected. Installers working on domestic gas systems will find this kit useful for ensuring safety compliance in both new builds and retrofit installations.

The system is designed for indoor use only and must be mounted on a wall using the provided mounting technology. The gas sensor and solenoid valve are connected via included cables, forming a complete safety solution that requires no additional accessories for basic installation. The system operates on a standard 230 V supply and is suitable for environments with humidity up to 95%.

Technical parameters

The technical parameters define the operational limits and capabilities of the PNI-SH200. The gas sensor has a maximum power consumption of 3 W and can detect gas concentrations between 0.1% and 0.5%. The solenoid valve has a 3/4 inch internal thread and can handle pressures up to 100 kPa. These specifications are essential for determining compatibility with existing gas systems and for sizing the installation correctly.

Installation and connection

Installation begins with selecting a suitable wall location for the gas sensor, ensuring it is positioned according to manufacturer guidelines for optimal gas detection. The solenoid valve must be connected to the gas supply line using a 3/4 inch internal thread. The included 90 cm cable connects the sensor to the solenoid valve. During installation, verify that the gas supply is turned off and that all electrical connections are made safely. Common installation mistakes include incorrect sensor positioning or failure to check the integrity of the gas line before connecting the solenoid valve.

Compatibility and accessories

The PNI-SH200 is compatible with standard domestic gas systems that use 3/4 inch threaded connections. The kit includes all necessary components for basic installation: gas sensor, solenoid valve and connecting cables. No additional accessories are required for standard applications. The system operates on a 230 V supply and is suitable for integration with existing gas infrastructure.

Technical background for designers

The gas sensor uses a detection mechanism that identifies flammable and toxic gases such as natural gas, LPG and carbon monoxide. The sensor is constructed with materials suitable for indoor environments and is designed for long-term reliability. The solenoid valve is made from brass and other alloys, ensuring durability and resistance to corrosion. The system integrates with standard gas supply lines and can be controlled either via an electrical impulse or manually. The service life and efficiency of the system depend on proper installation, regular maintenance and adherence to operating conditions specified by the manufacturer.

Service and operation

The PNI-SH200 requires regular inspection to ensure continued functionality. The gas sensor should be checked for proper operation and the solenoid valve should be tested to confirm it can close the gas supply when needed. The system includes an LED indicator and an audible alarm to signal alarm conditions. No specific service intervals are provided in the technical documentation, but periodic testing is recommended as part of standard safety protocols.
