CONSTRUCTION AND WORKING
PRINCIPLES
The VQ400M combination gas valves are 2 x class
“A” fail safe shut-off valves. The valve is opened by
energizing the direct ON / OFF operator. The direct
ON / OFF operator consists of a coil and stop
sleeve assembly. Inside the top sleeve assembly a
plunger is placed which is able to move up and
down and thus opening or closing the valve. The
plunger is gliding on two anti-friction bearings. Flow
regulation is done by adjustable plunger stroke. A
strainer made out of steel AISI 303 is incorporated
between inlet flange and main body. Valve closing
springs are made out of steel AISI 302. Seals and
gaskets are manufactured out of hydrocarbon
resistant NBR according to DIN 3535 and EN291.
