  • Page 3: Description

    ELEKTROGAS – Technical Sheet EE175 - 0117 Description The VMH type valve is a safety shut off valve for gas with hydraulic actuator. It is suitable for air or gas blocking and releasing controls, required in the main pipe of gas power burners,...
  • Page 4: Functioning And Application

    ELEKTROGAS – Technical Sheet EE175 - 0117 Functioning and application The VMH 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. In this condition the inlet chamber is filled with pressurized gas that forces on the disc, improving the seal.

    ELEKTROGAS – Technical Sheet EE175 - 0117 Installation, adjustment and servicing To assure a proper and safe operation, as well as a long life of the valve, installation procedure and periodical servicing are very important topics and the following instructions should be always fulfilled.
  • Page 12 ELEKTROGAS – Technical Sheet EE175 - 0117 Check correct alignment of connecting pipes. Ensure that installing area is protected from rain and water splashes or drops. Remove the end caps and make sure no foreign body is entered into the valve during handling.
  • Page 13 ELEKTROGAS – Technical Sheet EE175 - 0117 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION (IEC 730-1) - Using a screwdriver remove the plug from the actuator. - Unscrew the gland-nut (G) and remove the washer (F) and grommet (E). - To remove the terminal block (A)
  • Page 14 ELEKTROGAS – Technical Sheet EE175 - 0117 Fig. 8 WARNING Adjustments below 40% of capacity are unadvisable because they may cause turbulence. PCS (closed position indicator switch) mounting All VMH valve can be equipped with PCSHP (closed position indicator switch for VMH actuator).
  • Page 15 ELEKTROGAS – Technical Sheet EE175 - 0117 To maintain a good performance of the system, almost once a year, an external inspection of the valve is recommended. Due to seals aging, to ensure safe operation, we recommend valve replacement after 10 years from the date of manufacture stamped on the product.
