Valve Oven Overview

Installation and Power Requirements

When up to two Valco Purged valves are required (e.g. applications with

Pulsed Discharge Detector), this option has to be selected for their housing.

For more informations, refer to Valve Oven Components.

NOTE When any Valve box (heated or unheated) is configured with valves, these are factory tested to verify actuation but are NOT plumbed.

Plumbing can be performed upon availability of plumbing diagrams.

Materials needed:

Shop air or bottled air at a pressure of 60–80 psi

Helium, Nitrogen, or other gas depending on your applications

Installation and Power Requirements

The Valve Oven is attached to TRACE GC Ultra and it is factory installed and configured. On-site installation is related to the gas plumbing defined by the customer’s application or accompanying diagram.
