Ensure the highest standards of safety and regulatory compliance in your commercial gas appliances with the Replacement PEL 22S/V Flame Failure Gas Control Valve. This crucial safety component is specifically designed for vertical installation, providing reliable automatic gas shut-off in the event of flame failure. Essential for kitchens and industrial settings, this genuine PEL valve ensures safe operation for a wide range of catering equipment, including popular Chinese Wok Cookers and other gas-fired appliances.
A Flame Failure Device (FFD), also known as a Flame Supervision Device (FSD), is a critical safety mechanism. It continuously monitors the presence of a pilot or main flame. If the flame is extinguished for any reason (e.g., draught, spillover), the PEL 22S/V valve instantly cuts off the gas supply, preventing the dangerous build-up of unburnt gas and safeguarding your premises.
Key Features & Benefits:
• Critical Flame Failure Protection: Automatically and rapidly cuts off the gas supply if the flame on your appliance is extinguished, preventing hazardous gas leaks and ensuring operator safety.
• Designed for Vertical Installation: Specifically engineered and configured for appliances requiring a vertical mounting orientation of the gas control valve, ensuring proper fit and function.
• Dual Fuel Compatibility: Suitable for use with both Natural Gas (NG) and Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG - Propane/Butane), offering versatile application across different gas systems.
• Genuine PEL Quality: An original PEL Italy valve, known for its robust construction, durability, and reliable performance in demanding commercial environments.
• Versatile Connection Options: Features 1/2" BSP (British Standard Pipe) inlet and outlet connections, with common compatibility for 12mm compression fittings. This provides flexibility for various plumbing setups.
• Dedicated Pilot Feed: Includes a pilot feed connection designed to carry 4mm or 6mm pilot pipe, ensuring a secure and efficient pilot flame supply.
• M9 Thermocouple Connection: Equipped with an M9 thermocouple connection, allowing for secure attachment of your flame sensing thermocouple (sold separately, if not already part of your system).
• Manual Reset for Safety: Requires a manual reset after gas shut-off, ensuring that an operator must investigate and rectify the cause of the flame failure before gas supply can be restored.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):
Q1: What is a Flame Failure Device (FFD) and why is it important?
A1: An FFD (or FSD) is a safety mechanism that automatically detects if a gas flame has gone out. If no flame is detected, it immediately cuts off the gas supply to prevent unburnt gas from accumulating, which could lead to explosions or CO poisoning. It's a critical safety feature required by regulations on most modern gas appliances.
Q2: Can I install the PEL 22S/V myself?
A2: No, gas appliances and their components, especially safety devices like flame failure valves, MUST be installed, serviced, and maintained by a fully qualified and Gas Safe registered engineer in the UK (or equivalent certified professional in other regions) in accordance with all local regulations and manufacturer instructions. Attempting DIY installation can be extremely dangerous and is illegal.
Q3: Is this valve compatible with both Natural Gas and LPG?
A3: Yes, the PEL 22S/V is designed to operate safely with both Natural Gas (NG) and Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), including propane and butane.
Q4: How does the valve "know" the flame has gone out?
A4: This valve typically works with a thermocouple (a small probe placed in the flame). When the flame is present, it heats the thermocouple, generating a small electrical current that holds the valve open. If the flame goes out, the thermocouple cools, the current stops, and the valve's internal mechanism closes the gas supply.
Q5: What are the main connection sizes for this valve?
A5: This valve features 1/2" BSP (British Standard Pipe) connections for the main gas inlet and outlet, and is also compatible with 12mm compression fittings. The pilot feed connection is for 4mm or 6mm pipe, and the thermocouple connection is M9.
