About this product

The Coster GCA 865 and GCA 880 are automatic, normally closed gas solenoid valves in DN65 and DN80 flanged sizes. They stay closed with no power and open when the coil is energised, so a gas detection panel can shut off the supply by cutting power to the valve. We supply, install, commission and service them with Coster and other gas detection panels.
