Groen Z098443 Oven Gas Solenoid Valve W/3/8" FPT 1/4" NAT/LP Recessed Tab Terminals

Used in commercial gas steamers and cooking equipment, this gas solenoid valve controls gas flow during burner and heating operation to support safe and consistent equipment performance. The valve is configured for natural gas applications and features 25V coils, recessed 1/4" tab terminals, and flow regulation components designed for controlled gas delivery within compatible cooking systems. Built with 1/2" FPT and 1/8" FPT connections, the assembly is commonly installed in commercial steamers, kettles, and gas heating equipment used in restaurants, institutional kitchens, and food preparation facilities. Proper valve operation is important for maintaining stable burner ignition and controlled heating performance during cooking cycles.
