FAQ: What are Needle Valves?
We often get questions about needle valves. So, we’ve put together this handy FAQ to help answer your questions! Needle valves, also called adjusting valves, or fine-adjusting valves, are usually found downstream of the safety shut-off valves (SSOVs) on the burner gas train, though they can also be found on the burner air train. This Read More

Elektrogas VS Pressure Relief Valve
The Elektrogas VS pressure relief valves reduce temporary pressure surges in combustion systems. These devices are usually used on gas trains, industrial applications, and gas firing systems. The shutting-off of automatic valves, or regulators not closing tightly, can cause pressure spikes. By releasing extra pressure in a relief line, Elektrogas VS valves enable systems to Read More
Elektrogas VMRNA Automatic Vent Valve
VMRNA from Elektrogas is a normally-open vent valve for industrial gas manifolds. This valve is suitable for discharging excess or leakage gas into relief lines, for venting to a safe location (or atmosphere). They function by means of a reverse solenoid valve. This means without power, the valve is open. An inner spring pushes on Read More
Elektrogas VMM Double Solenoid Valve
Elektrogas VMM solenoid valves are safety devices used to stop the flow of gas in a combustion system. The VMM features two separate solenoid valves in one unit. The first valve is fast opening; when powered, the valve rapidly opens against the strength of the gas flow. When de-energized, the valve closes, pushing on a Read More
How to Wire an Elektrogas Proof of Closure Device
We’ve created a video demonstration to help users wire a DIN plug for an Elektrogas Proof of Closure device. The numbers in this blog correspond with the numbers in the video. 1. Once you’ve unscrewed the plug and removed it from the proof of closure device, step one is to remove the rubber gasket and Read More
