Gas & Water Solenoid Valves for Safer, Smarter Systems
Certified, high-quality solenoid valves designed for gas and water shut-off in educational, commercial, and industrial applications across New Zealand and Australia.
Precision Control for Critical Environments
Solenoid valves are essential components in systems that require automatic shut-off of gas or water – whether for safety, compliance, or operational control. Used widely in schools, kitchens, and mechanical plant rooms, these electro-mechanical valves open or close in response to control signals, helping prevent accidents, ensure code compliance, and integrate seamlessly with gas proving and interlock systems.
Oceania Gas Safety (OGS) offers a range of solenoid valves specifically selected for reliability, ease of installation, and compatibility with our wider Merlin safety system range. All products meet or exceed the requirements of AS/NZS 5601.1:2022, the key standard governing gas installations in both New Zealand and Australia.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a solenoid valve and how does it work?
A solenoid valve is an electromechanical device that opens or closes a valve when triggered by an electrical signal. It enables automatic control over gas or water flow and is typically used in safety-critical systems.
Are solenoid valves required for compliance in New Zealand and Australia?
While not all systems legally require solenoid valves, they are often used to help meet safety requirements under AS/NZS 5601.1:2022 and are a critical part of systems like gas proving and ventilation interlocks.
Can solenoid valves be installed with existing systems?
Yes. OGS valves are compatible with most industry-standard systems and integrate easily with our Merlin range of gas safety products.
What sizes and voltages are available?
We offer a range of valve sizes and control voltages, including 230V and 24V DC models. The Merlin team can help specify the right product for your application.
How quickly can I get a valve delivered?
With fast distribution across New Zealand and Australia, most products are available for immediate dispatch through our local partners.
