Don’t Stop at the Data Plate.
Replacing a Maxon electro-mechanical shutoff valve may seem as simple as grabbing the part number from the data plate—but there’s more information needed to accurately quote the right replacement.
What's Next: In this guide, we break down what the data plate tells you, the additional details you’ll want to gather, why top assembly position matters, and how a little preparation can help reduce back-and-forth and get your Maxon SSOV replacement quoted faster.
Replacing a Maxon SSOV? The Data Plate Is Only Part of the Story.
The part number on a Maxon electro-mechanical shutoff valve data plate is important—but it may not include all of the information needed to accurately quote a replacement.
Why the Data Plate Alone May Not Be Enough
If you are replacing a Maxon electro-mechanical shutoff valve, the first instinct is usually to grab the part number from the data plate and use that to order the replacement.
That is a good starting point—but it may not be the whole story. The part number shown on the data plate does not contain all of the extended ordering information that may be required to quote the correct replacement.
Start With the Data Plate
The data plate gives you the base part number and is the right place to begin—but it does not capture all of the extended ordering details.

What Else Do We Need?
These additional details help complete the ordering information that is not captured by the data plate part number alone.
Material Certifications
Are material certifications required for the replacement valve? Let us know yes or no.
Fuel Type
Natural gas is common, but Maxon valves can be used with multiple fuel types. The actual application matters.
Top Assembly Position
The desired top assembly position needs to be identified so the replacement is configured correctly.
Tagging Requirements
If project or equipment tagging is required, include that information with the quote request.
Identify the Top Assembly Position
The desired top assembly position is one of the key details needed to help configure the correct replacement.

Position Matters When Ordering the Replacement
One of the most important details missing from the basic data plate part number is the required top assembly position.
When requesting a quote, identify the position needed for the replacement valve. Providing that detail up front helps reduce back-and-forth and makes it easier to confirm the correct configuration.
A Faster Way to Request a Replacement
The more complete the information is at the beginning, the faster the quoting process can move.
Capture the Data Plate
Send the Maxon part number and any other visible valve information from the existing unit.
Add the Missing Details
Include fuel type, material certification requirements, top assembly position, and any tagging needs.
Send It to Stromquist
Our team can use the complete information to help identify and quote the appropriate replacement.

Send More Than the Part Number
The data plate gets the conversation started, but the extended ordering details are what help confirm the correct Maxon SSOV replacement. A few extra pieces of information up front can save time and reduce unnecessary back-and-forth during the quoting process.
