What is a Commercial Stove Gas Valve?

A stove gas valve can be either a valve used to control the flow of gas from the source to the stove, are a valve on the stove to control the flow of gas to the oven or burners. There are various types of stove gas valve systems. These include manual valves, solenoid valves, and safety valves.

A manual valve requires the operator to manually turn a valve handle in order to open or close the flow of gas to the stove. A solenoid valve opens only when the oven or stove calls for the oven or burners to heat up. Safety valves only stay open if the thermocouple or thermopile sensor detects heat from a pilot flame.
