Maximum operational temperature: 248 degrees Fahrenheit (120 degrees Celsius)įlow capacity: 4.8 gallons per minute (GPM) of water at 60oF with a pressure drop of 1 PSI Minimum operational temperature: 14 degrees Fahrenheit (-10 degrees Celsius) This solenoid valve is not to be used continuously for more than 8 hours. Customers chose this general purpose valve for supplemental gas tanks, sprinkler systems, and more. Suitable for use with hot or cold water, natural gas, air, very low viscosity fluids (< 20 cst) and gasoline or other petroleum based liquids. Suitable for outdoor use not for use underwater. This is especially true of pilot, or indirectly operated valves. PRESSURE: All solenoid valves need some pressure to actuate. POLARITY: For valves with 2 wires, the valve will actuate regardless of which terminal each wire is connected to (+ or -). It is suitable to liquids, gases and even for high vacuum. We recommend use of Teflon tape to ensure seal of the threading, as shown in Figure 2. Solid Valves follow British Standard Pipe Thread(BSPT).

If not, particles will cling to the gasket over time, which can cause it to not seal properly. Additionally, be sure the medium passing through is filtered. If connected in opposite direction, the valve will not actuate properly (will not close for Normally Closed valves). This means they are intended for flow in one direction only, in the direction of the arrow. Solid solenoid valves are unidirectional. Solid normally closed (N/C) electric solenoid valve is constructed with a Stainless Steel body, 1/2" female threaded (G) connections, and strong VITON gasket.įLOW DIRECTION: Make note of the arrow on your valve.
