Solenoid On/Off Valves

These solenoid valves operate on electricity to automatically start and stop flow. The actuator is directly mounted to the valve body to minimize movement and reduce wear.
Normally closed valves are closed unless actuated.
316 and 316L stainless steel valves are more corrosion resistant than brass and bronze valves.
Zero pressure drop valves don’t require a minimum pressure drop between the inlet and outlet for operation.
All IP- or NEMA-rated valves stand up to dust and washdowns. IP69 valves resist high-temperature, high-pressure washdowns.
Flow coefficient (Cv) is the amount of water (in gallons per minute) at 60° F that will flow through a fully open valve with a difference of 1 psi between the inlet and the outlet.

Compact Solenoid On/Off Valves
Lower profile and available in smaller connection sizes than standard valves, these fit in tight spots. They operate on electricity to automatically start and stop flow.
Valves are normally closed unless actuated. They don’t require a minimum pressure drop between the inlet and outlet for operation. The actuator is directly mounted to the valve body to minimize movement and reduce wear.
NEMA 4X valves resist washdowns, splashing water, corrosive liquid, and dust.
Flow coefficient (Cv) is the amount of water (in gallons per minute) at 60° F that will flow through a fully open valve with a difference of 1 psi between the inlet and the outlet.

Solenoid On/Off Valves with Exhaust Port for Natural Gas, Propane, and Butane

- For Use With: Natural Gas, Propane, Butane
- Seal Material: Fluoroelastomer Rubber
- Specifications Met: CSA Certified, UL Listed
Often used to control single-acting, spring-return air cylinders, these valves have a third threaded port to exhaust media. They operate on electricity to automatically start and stop flow.
Valves are normally closed and exhaust media unless actuated; when actuated, they close the exhaust port and reverse the direction of flow to send media to equipment. They don’t require a minimum pressure drop between the inlet and outlet for operation. Body is 303 stainless steel for good corrosion resistance. Coils are rated IP69 for protection against dust and high-temperature, high-pressure washdowns. The actuator is directly mounted to the valve body to minimize movement and reduce wear.
Flow coefficient (Cv) is the amount of water (in gallons per minute) at 60° F that will flow through a fully open valve with a difference of 1 psi between the inlet and the outlet.

Washdown-Resistant Electrically Operated Air Directional Control Valves

3-way valves create one action, such as extending a cylinder. 4-way valves create two actions, such as extending and then retracting a double-acting cylinder. 5/3 (closed center) valves close all ports in the off position to stop equipment in a locked position with air pressure holding it in place. Valves with spring return actuation go back to their original position when voltage is removed. Valves with electric (solenoid) return actuation go back to their original position when voltage moves from the first solenoid to the second solenoid. Valves with two exhaust ports allow you to independently control the speed of two different actions. Connect a flow control valve to each exhaust port. Flow coefficient (Cv) is a measurement that indicates how much airflow can pass through a valve.
