Gas Valves

Safety-tested gas valves
for maximum process reliability.

Certified according to EN 161 for industrial combustion plants.

Reliability and safety for your gas application

Gas valves are safety-critical components used to control flammable and technical gases in industrial applications. Our valves are type-tested in accordance with leading standards (e.g. EN 161) to ensure reliable shut-off and precise regulation in demanding environments such as thermal processing systems.
