KIT-340-WR RETROFIT GAS VALVE

Retrofits or retrofitting is not unusual with foodservice equipment. A retrofit is the addition of new technology or features to older systems. Retrofits include backward compatibility so that the newer component will work in existing equipment. Retrofits allow for menu additions, software updates, and component improvements without the replacement or addition of functional equipment.

Valves are widely used in different restaurant equipment designs. A valve is a device that regulates, directs or controls the flow of a fluid (gases, steam, liquids, fluidized solids, or slurries) by opening, closing, or partially obstructing various passageways. In an open valve, fluid flows in a direction from higher pressure to lower pressure. 

Valves may be operated manually, either by a handle, lever, pedal or wheel. Valves may also be automatic, driven by changes in pressure, temperature, or flow, allowing control over a variety of operational requirements.
