Membrane for water reducer of gas column
Type: membrane
Outer diameter: 52/38 mm (±1 mm)
Inner diameter: 36–39 mm (±1 mm)
Hole in the membrane: Ø4 mm (for mounting)
Height of the membrane: 6 mm
Material: rubber
Compatibility: universal
Application:
The membrane is designed for installation in the water reducer of a gas column or boiler. It plays a key role in the proper functioning of the water block by regulating the flow of water and gas, as well as maintaining stable pressure, which ensures the efficient operation of the heating system.
Features:
- Made of durable, wear-resistant rubber
- Ensures reliable operation of the water reducer
- Easy to install and replace
- Suitable for various models of gas columns
Operating principle:
The membrane is placed inside the water block, between the chambers of the reducer. It responds to changes in water pressure by moving a rod that activates or deactivates the gas valve. This ensures the supply of gas to the main burner when the tap is opened and cuts off the gas supply when it is closed, which is critical for the safe and efficient operation of the device.
How to choose the right membrane:
When selecting a membrane, pay attention to the following parameters:
- Outer and inner hole diameters – they must match the sizes of your reducer.
- Material – it is better to choose rubber membranes, as they are more wear-resistant.
- Mounting hole – ensure it matches the specifications of your device.
Check compatibility with your gas column model to avoid mistakes when purchasing.
Possible causes of malfunction and ways to prevent them:
- Wear of the membrane due to prolonged use – regular checks and replacements as needed are recommended.
- Contamination of the reducer – periodically clean and check the system for deposits.
- Incorrect installation – follow installation instructions to avoid damage.
Timely replacement of the membrane and preventive maintenance will help avoid serious breakdowns and extend the lifespan of your equipment.
Difficulty of membrane replacement:
Replacing the membrane is a relatively simple procedure that can be done independently. Follow these steps:
- Disconnect gas and water from the column.
- Remove the reducer cover.
- Take out the old membrane.
- Install the new membrane in place.
- Reassemble the reducer and reconnect gas and water.
Difficulty rating: low. If you have basic tool skills, you will be able to handle the replacement yourself.
