ELEKTROGAS – TECHNICAL MANUAL Functioning and application The VMR type valve is a safety shutting device using auxiliary power supply. When it is de-energized, the spring pushes on the seal disc, keeping the gas passage closed. Now, the inlet chamber is under the gas line pressure, and it forces on the disc too, improving the seal.
ELEKTROGAS – TECHNICAL MANUAL Accessories and optionals A fine mesh filter is provided, to prevent dirty contamination of the seal seat. However, an external strainer must be installed upstream of the valve. Brass models are available without internal filter only.
