A redundant gas valve has two or three valve operators physically in series but wired in parallel with one another. This built in saftey feature allows any operator (pilot or main) to block gas from getting to the main burner.

EX: standing pilot, intermittent pilot, and direct burner are classified as redundant gas valves.

What do you do if a oxy-acetylene gas is leaking from welding bottles?

It depends on where the gas is leaking. If it is from the regulator connection sometimes just readjusting and tightening the grooved nut will stop the leak. Turn off the valve and remove the regulator. Check for dirt particles and damage to the seat and regulator bulb (the fat part that fits against the seat), open and close the valve quickly to blow out any loose particles, reattach the regulator. Check to see if the gas is still escaping. If it is, the regulator bulb or the valve seat may be damaged. All cylinders have a fuseable plug and if it is leaking from there evacuate the area immediately and call emergency personnel. If it is from the valve area you may be able to stop the leak by tightening the packing nut at the base of the valve stem. With the regulator attached open the cylinder valve slightly and tighten the packing nut. Check to see if this stops the leak. If immediate attempts fail, evacuate the area.

How do you prevent boiler explosion?

All boilers are made to a pressure specification and in most countries any pressure vessel over a certain size is required to be periodically inspected and pressure tested to ensure it is fit for purpose. In addition to being in sound condition, the boiler is also expected to have some form of pressure relief valve. This is of sufficient size to vent off excess pressure before it gets to an explosive situation. It is obviously important that the pressure of this device is set to a lower level than the ultimate pressure specification of the boiler. Even quite small boilers, like those in coffee makers need to be inspected. Some boilers are 'gas fired' such as home heating boilers. These have a device called a thermocouple that detects the flame and is linked to the gas valve. If the flame goes out, or the burner does not ignite when gas is released in the boiler, it will shut the gas off. Typically gas fired boilers have a number of devices that will shut off the gas in the event that something doesn't work. This means that if the gas supply pipe is in sound condition, the boiler itself cannot leak gas and cause an explosion.


Where is the mixing valve in the boiler?

Mixing valve usually for tempering domestic hot water.


In boiler feed water line whether a non return valve should precede or succeed the delivery valve of feed water pump?

In boiler feed water line the NRV is normally installed between Pump and stop valve if the line is short and an another NRV is installed at boiler entrance and after stop valve if the line is long or pump is 10 to 15 m away from the boiler.

What is an redundant gas valve.?

A redundant gas valve is a safety feature in a gas system where two valves are installed in series to ensure that gas flow can be shut off if one valve fails. This redundancy helps prevent gas leaks and potential hazards.


Is the gas valve in the on position?

Is the gas valve turned on?


Is the gas valve open or closed?

The gas valve is closed.


Is the gas valve in the on or off position?

The gas valve is currently in the off position.


What is the reason for a furnace to go through all the systems of operations and the ignitor sparks but no gas?

Typically, it is going to be the gas valve. The system sends a 24 volt signal to the gas valve and it opens. I you are getting 24 vols to the gas valve and no gas, it will be the valve.


Is the gas line valve currently on or off?

The gas valve is off in the current situation.


Which is one is the redundant when sodium metal reacts with hydrochloric acid to produce salt and hydrogen gas?

Producing salt and producing hydrogen gas are not redundant in this reaction. When sodium metal reacts with hydrochloric acid, salt (sodium chloride) is formed along with the release of hydrogen gas.

How can I change the gas valve on a water heater?

To change the gas valve on a water heater, first turn off the gas supply and water supply to the heater. Disconnect the gas line and remove the old gas valve. Install the new gas valve and reconnect the gas line. Finally, turn the gas and water supplies back on and test the water heater to ensure it is working properly.


What is the millivolt range of a gas valve?

The millivolt range of a gas valve is typically around 250 to 750 millivolts. This low voltage is generated by a thermocouple or a thermopile and is used to open and close the gas valve to control the flow of gas.


How do I safely turn off a gas valve?

To safely turn off a gas valve, locate the valve and turn it clockwise until it is fully closed. This will stop the flow of gas and prevent any potential hazards. It is important to only turn off the gas valve if you suspect a gas leak or if instructed to do so by a professional.
