Design & Construction
The aluminum valve body provides a lightweight yet durable housing suited for fuel gas service. NBR seals offer excellent resistance to petroleum-based gases and oils, ensuring a long service life with minimal maintenance. The NEMA 4X enclosure protects the solenoid coil from water ingress, dust, and corrosion — making it ideal for installations exposed to wash-down environments or outdoor conditions.
Operation
As a normally closed valve, the 8040H7 remains shut when de-energized, providing a fail-safe shutoff for gas lines. When 120VAC is applied to the coil, the valve opens to allow gas flow. This design is critical for safety in burner management systems, heating equipment, and gas appliance controls where automatic shutoff is required upon loss of power.
Applications
- Commercial and industrial fuel gas shutoff
- Burner management and combustion control systems
- Heating equipment and boiler gas trains
- Gas appliance solenoid control
- OEM equipment requiring NEMA 4X-rated solenoid valves
