Resideo VK4115V2012B Gas Valve for Empero Pizza Ovens

This Resideo VK4115V2012B gas valve is used in several professional EMPERO gas pizza ovens from the SPO range.

The valve controls the gas flow to the burner. Therefore, it plays an important role in the oven gas system.

Empero uses this component under reference M.GAZ-BLK-HNW-016.

Compatibility with Empero Pizza Ovens

This gas valve is used in particular on the following models:

• Empero EMP.SPO.02
• Empero EMP.SPO.03
• Empero EMP.SPO.04
• Empero EMP.SPO.05
• Empero EMP.SPO.02-D
• Empero EMP.SPO.03-D
• Empero EMP.SPO.04-D

However, always compare the replacement valve with the part already fitted to your oven before ordering.

Indeed, individual components may vary depending on the production year or version of the appliance.

Compatibility with Selected GGM Gastro Ovens

Some pizza ovens sold under the GGM Gastro brand use components also found in Empero ovens.

Therefore, this valve may also fit selected GGM Gastro models.

However, this compatibility does not apply to every oven sold under that brand.

For this reason, check that the original valve is marked:

VK4115V2012B

In addition, compare the gas connections, electrical connections and overall shape of the valve.

What Does the Gas Valve Do?

The gas valve controls the gas supply to the combustion system.

When the oven requires gas, the valve opens the flow. Then, it closes again when the system no longer needs to supply the burner.

As a result, the valve contributes to the normal operation of the oven and its gas circuit.

When Should the Gas Valve Be Replaced?

A faulty valve can cause several operating problems.

For example, you may notice:

• no gas reaching the burner;
• irregular valve opening;
• the burner failing to start correctly;
• a fault found during technical inspection;
• an electrical fault in the valve.

However, these symptoms do not always mean that the gas valve itself is faulty.

For instance, the problem may also come from the ignition system, a safety device, the power supply or another part of the gas circuit.

Therefore, a proper diagnosis is recommended before replacing the valve.

Checks Before Ordering

First, check the reference marked on the existing gas valve.

It should match:

VK4115V2012B

Then check:

• 220/240 V AC power supply;
• valve shape;
• gas connections;
• electrical connections;
• position of the different components;
• exact oven model.

In addition, if the appliance is sold under the GGM Gastro brand, compare the new valve directly with the original part.

This check helps reduce the risk of ordering the wrong component.

Gas Valve Installation

Before carrying out any work, disconnect the oven from the electrical supply.

Then shut off the gas supply completely.

Also allow the oven to cool fully before starting.

Next:

• identify the connections on the old valve;
• check the gas fittings;
• compare the old and new parts;
• install the new valve according to the original arrangement.

Do not install the valve if the connections or technical specifications differ from the original component.

Checks After Replacement

After installation, inspect the system carefully.

First, check all gas connections.

Then test the gas circuit for leaks.

Next, check:

• electrical connections;
• ignition system;
• gas supply;
• burner operation;
• overall oven operation.

Finally, return the appliance to service only after confirming that it operates correctly.

For professional gas equipment, installation and testing by a qualified technician is recommended.

Why Check the Full VK4115V2012B Reference?

The VK4115V family exists in several versions.

Therefore, the general designation “VK4115V” alone may not always identify the correct replacement part.

The full reference VK4115V2012B provides a much more precise identification.

For this reason, always compare the full reference with the valve currently installed in your oven before purchase.
