INSTALLATION AND FINAL CHECKOUT
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.
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, DIN
2999) 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. PTFEtape may be
used as an alternative.
: Inordertotightenthepipeinthe
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
E 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.
Final checkout
Set appliance in operation and observe
several complete cycles to ensure that
components function correctly

EN2R--9012 9412R0--NE 12
CONSTRUCTION AND WORKING PRINCIPLES
The VG series safety solenoid valves
are class A fail safe shutt--off valves.
The valve can be opened manually
after energizing the operator.
The operator consists of a coil and coil
housing. Through this operator moves
a shaft which is connected to the
closing member. On this shaft a disc is
mounted which can be moved towards
the coil by pulling the setting knob and
will be kept in that position when the
operator is energized.
De--energization will cause the spring
loaded closing member to close.
A strainer made out of steel according
to AISI 303 is incorporated in the valve.
Valve closing spring is made out of
steel according to AISI 302.
Seals and gaskets are manufactured
out of hydrocarbon NBR resistant are
according to DIN 3535 and EN 291.

STANDARDS AND APPROVALS
Standards
The VG series safety solenoid valves
have been designed to meet the
European Standard EN 161.
The safety solenoid valve meets class
A requirements.
According to bending stress the safety
solenoid valve meets the highest
requirements.
Regarding electric safety, the VG series
safety solenoid valves can be used in
appliances according to European
Standard for a household electrical
requirements EN 60335 series and
industrial applications.
The VG series safety solenoid valves
also meet all Electro Magnetic
Compatability standards for
non--industrial and industrial
appliances.
Approvals
The VG series safety solenoid valves
confirm with the following
EC--directives:
: Gas Appliance Directive
(90/396/EEC)
: Low Voltage directive (73/23/EEC)
The fact that the VG series safety
solenoid valves are certified to
European Standard EN 161 means that
this series meets more stringent
requirements than laid down in the
essential requirements stated in the
directives and therefore meets the
requirements in all EC and EFTA
countries.
Details can be found in the approvals
list.
The registration number specific for
each O.S. number is mentioned on the
label of the safety solenoid valve.

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.
Specifation 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
