140176557571 Genuine Semi-Rapid Burner Gas Tap d=0.35 Natural Gas 1kPa for Electrolux Group Gas Cooktops, Gas Control Valve

The semi-rapid burner is the mid-sized burner on most gas cooktops, and 140176557571 is the genuine gas tap that controls it on Electrolux group appliances. It's set up for natural gas at 1kPa and is marked d=0.35, which on gas taps normally refers to the bypass size that sets the simmer flame. Taps are matched to both the burner and the gas type, so the details on the old tap should line up before you order.

Signs the gas tap on a cooktop burner is failing

Turning the knob rotates the tap, which controls the gas flow to the burner from high down to simmer. On cooktops with flame failure protection, the tap also holds a magnet valve that works with the thermocouple to cut the gas if the flame goes out. Common faults are a knob that is stiff or hard to push in, a burner that won't stay lit even with a new thermocouple, a simmer flame that is too high or blows out, or a faint gas smell near the knob. A tap that leaks or sticks must not be left in service.

Who should fit a gas tap

A gas tap is a gas control device, so in Australia it must be replaced by a licensed gas fitter. They will isolate the gas supply and any power to the ignition, remove the cooktop and fit the new tap with fresh seals where required. After fitting, the work is leak tested and each burner checked on high and simmer, with the flame failure tested too. Never check for leaks with a naked flame.

Questions about this part

Can this tap be used on LPG?

It's listed for natural gas at 1kPa. LPG cooktops use different settings, so don't swap it onto an LPG appliance. Your gas fitter can confirm the right tap from the cooktop's data plate, or send us the model details and we'll check.
