Flanged gas valve IDMAR WK2a DN50 PN16 (sandwich)

The Flanged gas valve IDMAR WK2a DN50 PN16 (sandwich) is a DN50 industrial gas control valve designed for installation in gas pipelines that require flanged connections and a sandwich-style actuator mounting. It provides reliable on/off control and positive isolation at a nominal diameter of 50 mm and a nominal pressure rating of PN16 (16 bar). The valve body and flanged ends are configured for standard pipeline integration in gas distribution, industrial and utility systems where robust sealing and mechanical compatibility are necessary.

Advantages

This IDMAR WK2a valve offers straightforward flanged installation and compatibility with sandwich-type actuators, enabling compact integration between pipeline flanges. The construction supports PN16 pressure class operation and DN50 nominal bore for medium-capacity gas flow control. Its design focuses on secure shutoff and ease of maintenance, with flanged connections that facilitate removal and replacement without extensive pipeline alteration.

Suitable for

• Gas distribution networks requiring DN50 flanged valves
• Industrial gas supply lines and utility stations
• Installations where sandwich-style actuator mounting is preferred
• Applications needing a PN16 (16 bar) rated shut-off valve

Key specifications

• Nominal diameter: 50 mm (DN50)
• Pressure rating: PN16 (16 bar)
• Connection type: flanged ends for pipeline mounting
• Mounting style: sandwich (between-flanges) actuator interface
• Function: on/off control and isolation

How to use

Install the valve between matching flanges on the gas pipeline, ensuring flange faces and bolts comply with the system’s flange standards and torque specifications. Fit a compatible sandwich-style actuator or gearbox to the valve’s actuator interface following the actuator manufacturer’s instructions. After mechanical installation, perform a pressure and leak test in accordance with applicable gas safety regulations. Operate the valve by actuating the mounted actuator to open or close the flow path; use isolation procedures during maintenance to depressurize the section before disassembly.

Usage recommendations

Use compatible flange gaskets and tighten flange fasteners to recommended torques. Confirm material compatibility with the gas medium and follow local codes for testing, venting and grounding. Schedule periodic inspections for sealing surfaces, fasteners and actuator coupling to maintain reliable on/off performance.
