Solenoid Valve Gas: Complete Buyer's Guide for Indonesia
What Is a Solenoid Valve Gas?
A solenoid valve gas is an electromagnetically actuated control valve that automatically regulates gas flow in heating, cooking, and combustion applications. Unlike manual valves, solenoid valves respond instantly to electrical signals from thermostats, burner controllers, and safety interlocks—making them essential in commercial boilers, industrial kilns, and kitchen equipment across Indonesia. Trusted brands like Saunier Duval, Pratissoli, Interpump, and SIT design these valves to withstand high pressures and extreme temperature conditions. 3G Electric has supplied these components to Indonesian installers and manufacturers for over 35 years, with full stock in Jakarta, Surabaya, and Batam.
How Solenoid Gas Valves Operate
When current flows through the solenoid coil, it generates a magnetic field that pulls an internal plunger upward, opening the valve seat and allowing gas to flow. When power is cut, spring tension closes the valve instantly, stopping all gas flow. This on-off action is precise, repeatable, and fail-safe—critical for meeting Indonesian safety standards in commercial kitchens and industrial plant rooms. Two main designs dominate: direct-acting (pressure-assisted) valves that respond within milliseconds, and pilot-operated (servo) valves that use small pressure differentials to modulate larger flows efficiently.
Key Specifications & Technical Comparison
| Specification | Typical Range | Units | Critical for Selection |
|---|---|---|---|
| Coil Voltage | 24 VDC to 230 VAC | Volts | Must match burner controller supply |
| Maximum Pressure | 16 to 90 bar | bar | Verify boiler or burner operating pressure |
| Gas Flow Rate | 2.9 to 11 L/min | L/min | Must exceed peak demand + 10 % margin |
| Port Connection | M3/8 to DN15 | Thread/DN | Match boiler inlet/outlet thread size |
| Operating Temperature | −10 to 60 °C ambient | °C | Check inlet gas temperature (warm compressed gas may exceed) |
| Response Time | 50 to 200 milliseconds | ms | Faster = better flame stability |
Types of Solenoid Gas Valves & Applications
2/2 On-Off Valves: Simple open-close function, ideal for pilot burners and safety shut-off. 3/2 Diverter Valves: Route gas to multiple burners or pilot/main flame stages—common in Saunier Duval and Pratissoli boiler controls. Pressure Regulators with Solenoid Control: Like the Interpump KR92, modulate flow electronically while maintaining constant outlet pressure. Gas Blocks (Safety Combiners): SIT Sigma units integrate solenoid shut-off, regulator, and thermostat logic into one compact module, saving space in retrofit projects across Indonesian industrial facilities.
Selection Criteria: Choose the Right Solenoid Gas Valve
- Identify operating pressure: Read your boiler or burner nameplate for max pressure (typically 16, 25, or 90 bar). The valve must be rated equal or higher.
- Confirm gas type: Natural gas (NG), liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), or biogas. Most European valves handle all three, but always verify on the datasheet.
- Match port size and thread type: Measure the inlet/outlet connection on your boiler—M3/8 (metric 3/8"), DN15 (15 mm), or BSP 1/2". Forcing a mismatched thread risks gas leaks.
- Check coil voltage: Controllers in modern Indonesian installations typically output 24 VDC or 230 VAC. Verify before checkout.
- Calculate flow demand: Add peak burner flow + 10 % safety margin, then select a valve rated at or above. The Interpump KR92 delivers 11 L/min—suitable for small to mid-sized boilers.
- Consider temperature environment: If the boiler room exceeds 60 °C or is exposed to direct flame, consult our technical team on coil protection (thermowells or external relocation).

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use a 230 VAC solenoid valve if my burner controller only outputs 24 VDC?
A: No. The coil will not energize. Always match the voltage. If your controller is 24 VDC, purchase a 24 VDC valve or add a separate relay and transformer (more cost and complexity).
Q: What is the difference between a 2/2 and 3/2 solenoid gas valve?
A: A 2/2 valve has one inlet and one outlet (simple on-off). A 3/2 diverter valve has one inlet and two outlets, routing gas to different burner stages or pilot+main flames. Choose 3/2 if your boiler has staged combustion.
Q: How often should a solenoid gas valve be replaced?
A: Under normal operation, 5–10 years. If the valve sticks, leaks internally, or fails to open within 2 seconds, replace it immediately. Annual inspection is recommended in food/commercial kitchens.
Q: Does 3G Electric ship to remote areas in Indonesia (Kalimantan, Papua)?
A: Yes, via courier. Shipping costs are higher but delivery is guaranteed. Request a quote and we'll provide an all-in price including freight and import duty.
