Description

1/2" BSP Gas Solenoid Valve EN161 Normally Closed 0-200mBar Elektrogas VMR12


The Elektrogas VMR12 is a high-performance EN161 Class A certified gas safety solenoid valve designed for rapid shut-off and dependable control of natural gas, LPG, air and specialist fuel gases. Featuring a normally closed fail-safe design, the valve opens when energised and automatically closes within one second when power is removed, providing essential protection for industrial gas installations and burner systems.
Manufactured from corrosion-resistant aluminium with EN549 certified NBR gas seals, the VMR12 is suitable for continuous duty operation and is widely used on gas burners, atmospheric boilers, furnaces, kilns, gas trains and industrial heating equipment. An integrated flow adjustment allows precise gas flow control, whilst the built-in 600-micron filter protects internal components and downstream equipment from contamination.
