The VE series gas valves offer a series of functionalities:
Gas valves, Normally Closed.
CPI switch optional
Gas valves for use with Honeywell V4055, V4062 and
V9055 fluid power actuators.
Relief valves Normally Open.
Adjustable opening characteristics optional
FEATURES
The VExxxxX1xxx series gas valves have a wrench boss
as well on inlet side as on outlet side for pipe fitting
incorporated in the valve housing.
The VExxxxX3xxx and VE5xxxX3xxx series gas valves
are equipped at both sides with mounting holes to adapt a
pilot solenoid valve combination, to allow either internal or
external pilot gas. Furthermore these valves are equipped
with two M6 mounting holes to adapt an A4020A
electronic leak test The VExxxxB series gas valves have
an adjustable flow rate regulator on top of the coil.
For the VE series gas valves a series of field replaceable
connection boxes (including circuits) are available
The VExxxxC series gas valves have adjustments for step
pressure flow rate and opening speed in hydraulic damper
unit on top of the coil.
The VExxxxS series gas valves normally open relief
valves have no option for mounting a CPI switch
The VE5xxxX3xxx series gas valves can be equipped with
a wide range of Honeywell fluid power actuators. These

INSTALLATION
WARNING
Take care that installer is a trained experienced
service man.
Turn off gas supply before starting installation.
Disconnect power supply to prevent electrical shock
and/or equipment damage.
Mounting position
The gas valve can be mounted plus or minus 90 degrees from
the vertical.
Mounting location
The distance between the gas valve and the wall/ground, must
be at least 30 cm.
WARNING
The outlet of a pressure relief valve (VE4000S series)
must always be connected to open atmosphere.
Main gas connection threaded valves
Take care that dirt cannot enter the gas valve during
handling.
Ensure the gas flows in the same direction as the arrow
on the housing of the gas valve.
Use a sound taper fitting with thread according to ISO 7-1
(BS 21, DIN2999) or a piece of new, properly reamed
pipe, free from swarf
Do not thread or tighten the pipe or pipe fitting too far.
Otherwise valve distortion and malfunction could result.
Apply a moderate amount of good quality thread
compound to the pipe or fitting only, leaving the two end
threads bare. PTFE tape may be used as an alternative.
In order to tighten the pipe in the valve, do not use the
actuator as a lever but use a suitable wrench operating on
the wrench bosses.
Main gas connection flanged valves
Take care that dirt cannot enter the gas valve during
handling.
Ensure the gas flows in the same direction as the arrow
on the housing of the gas valve.
Ensure that inlet and outlet flanges are in line and
separated from each other enough to allow the valve to be
mounted between them without damaging the gasket.
Place gasket. If necessary grease it slightly to keep it in
place.
Mount gas valve between flanges using the bolts for each
flange.
WARNING
Tightness test after installation
Paint all pipe connections and gaskets with a strong
soap and water solution..
Start the appliance and check for bubbles. If a leak is
found in a pipe connection, remake the joint. A gasket
leak can usually be stopped by tightening the
mounting screws. Otherwise, replace the gas valve.
Electrical connection
CAUTION
Switch off power supply before making electrical
connections.
Take care that wiring is in accordance with local
regulations.
Use lead wire which can withstand 105 °C ambient.
The electric on/off operator is provided with a terminal block
for electrical connections.
Wiring
Follow the instructions supplied by the appliance
manufacturer.

Instructions Electrical connections
Connection instructions with PG gland
On each side of the connection box there are break out
area’s. See Fig 1. After removing the central part of one of
these break outs, the PG gland (supplied with the valve) can
be fitted.
Fig 1
After removing the nut from the gland, the gland can be
placed in the break out. The nut needs to turned onto the
gland inside the box and tightened as shown in Fig 2.
Specified torque for the nut: 4 Nm. Mounted PG gland
shown in Fig 3. Specified torque PG gland: 3 Nm.

Fig 3
After connecting wires ( L, N & PE) to dedicated connectors
on connector block, the connection needs to closed by
mounting the front cover. Before placing the cover, please
check the correct position of seal as shown in Fig 4. The
cover can only be mounted in one orientation. This is shown
in Fig 5.
Specified torque for cover screw: 0.5 Nm.
Specified cable diameter for gland: 7 – 13 mm.

ADJUSTMENT AND FINAL CHECKOUT
WARNING
Adjustments must be made by qualified persons only
CAUTION
To ensure a safe closing of the valves, it is essential
that voltage over the terminals of operators is
reduced to 0 Volt.
IMPORTANT
To ensure a satisfactory setting of the valve the
pressure drop over the valve should be at least 10%
of the supply pressure or 2.5 mbar which ever is the
greatest.
VExxxxB SERIES
(see fig 7.)
Flow rate adjustment
Remove the cap screw from top of the coil.
Place a socket head wrench into the adjustment nut.
Turn wrench counter--clockwise to increase or clockwise
to decrease flow rate.
Replace cap screw.
Flow adjustment fig 7
VExxxxC SERIES
(see fig. 8, 9 and 10)
The following characteristics can be adjusted:
flow rate
step pressure
opening speed
Step pressure adjustment
Remove the cap from top of the coil by loosening both
screws.
Place a screw driver in the slot of adjustment screw which
is situated in center of the valve.
Turn screw driver counter--clockwise to increase or
clockwise to decrease step pressure.
Replace cap on top of the coil.
Step pressure adjustment. Fig 8
Opening speed adjustment
Remove the cap from top of the coil by loosening both
screws.
Place screw driver in the slot of adjustment screw which is
of center line.
Turn screw driver counter--clockwise to increase the
opening speed and therefore the time till full opening will
decrease.
Turn screw driver clockwise to decrease the opening
speed and therefore the time till full opening will increase.
Replace cap on top of the coil.

Flow rate adjustment
Remove the cap screw from top of the coil by loosening
both screws
Place a wrench onto the adjustment nut.
Turn wrench counter--clockwise to increase or clockwise
to decrease flow rate.
Replace cap screw.

Final checkout of the installation
Set appliance in operation after any adjustment and observe
several complete cycles to ensure that all burner components
function correctly.

REPLACEMENT PARTS AND ACCESSORIES
WARNING
Take care that only qualified persons carry out the installation of parts, accessories, and add on components.
Follow the installation instructions included in the package.
Check that the selected part, accessory or add on component is the correct one for the application in question.
Specification of data is given in the instruction leaflet in the package .Replace the old gaskets with the new ones
supplied in the package and check for leakage when the supply is switched on again. After installation and/or
replacement has been completed, a gas leak test must be carried out. Also check the gas valve for satisfactory operation
after fitting accessories.
