COMPONENTS

At the heart of gas-fired appliances lies a critical safety component – a guardian that not only manages the gas valve with precision but also ensures the burner ignites safely and keeps a vigilant watch over the flame. In the rare event of a flame loss, it responds instantaneously to safeguard both equipment and surroundings. Fenwal Controls leverages advanced microprocessor technology to offer precise, consistent timings and unparalleled reliability for your appliance’s service life, whether utilizing LP or natural gas.

The innovative “platform” products merge the best of both worlds: the customization you desire, with the cost-effectiveness and ready availability typical of standard production units. This unique approach extends to “quick turn” samples, facilitating swift agency approvals and enabling a smooth transition to production scaling. Trust in Fenwal Controls solutions to elevate the safety, efficiency, and dependability of your gas-fired equipment.
