Ventilation accessories
Ventilation accessories are the control and regulation components that keep your extraction systems operating safely and efficiently. Speed governors, gas regulators, and solenoid valves manage airflow, fuel delivery, and system response in commercial kitchens.
Stock these parts for maintenance, repair, and commissioning work across hoods, fans, and gas-powered equipment.
Ventilation accessories include speed governors, gas regulators and solenoid valves for commercial kitchen extraction and gas equipment. Essential replacement and upgrade components for kitchens maintaining existing ventilation systems or integrating new gas-powered cooking lines. Sizing by pipe diameter or electrical amperage rating is the critical specification.
When selecting ventilation accessories, match the component type and size to your existing ductwork and equipment specifications. Speed governors control fan velocity and noise; gas regulators maintain safe fuel pressure; solenoid valves automate gas shutoff and flow control.
Consider your equipment's electrical rating (phase and amperage), connection diameter (measured in inches or millimetres), and whether you need manual or automated operation. Stock common sizes—3/4 inch (22mm), 1 inch (28mm), and 1½ inch (35mm)—to cover most kitchen retrofit and repair jobs.
- Verify electrical phase (1 or 3) and amperage rating before ordering speed governors
- Confirm gas valve size and pressure specification with your equipment documentation
- Check solenoid voltage and connection type for compatibility with control systems
- Order replacement seals and spare components for high-use items
FREQUENTLY ASKED
Common questions
What's the difference between a speed governor and a solenoid valve?▾
A speed governor controls motor fan speed electronically (single-phase, rated by amp load). A solenoid valve controls gas or fluid flow magnetically. Both are safety and efficiency components for different equipment types.
How do I select the right gas regulator valve size?▾
Gas regulators are sized by pipe diameter: 22mm (¾"), 28mm (Type 1), or 35mm (1½"). Match your gas line connection. Larger diameter suits higher flow demands on busy service lines.
Are speed governors single or three-phase?▾
The available speed governors are single-phase, rated at 3, 5, or 7 amp capacity. Select the amperage matching your extraction fan motor rating to avoid overload.
What operations use these ventilation accessories?▾
Hotels, restaurants, cafés and catering kitchens use them to maintain or repair extraction systems and gas cooking equipment. Essential for any kitchen with ducted hoods or gas-powered service lines.
Can I retrofit these to an existing kitchen ventilation system?▾
Yes. Speed governors, gas regulators and solenoid valves are replacement and upgrade components. Confirm your existing pipe diameters or motor amperage before ordering.
What's the price range for ventilation accessories?▾
Prices range from €196.80 for a 22mm gas regulator to €977.85 for a 28mm Type 1 regulator. Speed governors cost €258–€320 depending on amp rating.
