Details

Controls the flow of gas within the commercial oven by electrically regulating the designated fuel passage. The Imperial 38181 Oven Solenoid Valve 5W 0.05A 1/2" NPT 1/2 PSI 120V uses an energized solenoid mechanism to open the valve and permit gas flow, while removal of the electrical signal allows the valve to close the passage. This controlled valve action provides an electrically commanded point within the oven's gas-delivery circuit, allowing fuel flow to be coordinated with the equipment's operating sequence.

Burner Operation Support:
Controls the availability of gas supplied to the burner assembly during operation. By opening or closing the gas passage in response to the control signal, the valve supports the burner system's required fuel-delivery sequence.

Gas Line Interface:
The valve forms the connection between the incoming fuel supply and the controlled burner circuit. Its threaded inlet provides the designated attachment point within the oven's gas piping arrangement. From this point, the component regulates passage through the fuel path according to signals from the control system.

Replacement Guidelines:
Replace the Oven Solenoid Valve if it develops physical damage, leakage, inconsistent actuation, or no longer controls gas flow as intended. The part number 38181, 1/2" NPT connection, 1/2 PSI pressure rating, and 120V electrical specification should be verified before replacement to ensure the correct valve is selected. Gas-system service should be performed by a qualified technician.

Common Failure Symptoms:

Inconsistent burner activation.
Failure to open or close correctly.
Changes in normal oven heating operation.
Physical damage or deterioration.
Gas leakage around the valve or connections.

Equipment Compatibility:
Intended for commercial oven applications using this specific gas-control configuration. Verify the complete equipment model, part number 38181, connection size, pressure rating, and electrical specifications against the applicable manufacturer documentation.
