    Compact Linear Solenoids

    A thin profile allows these solenoids to fit well in narrow spaces. You can use them to push or pull—use the side with the unthreaded rod (R) and two mounting studs to push or use the opposite side with the threaded rod to pull.

    Water-Resistant Sealed Linear Solenoids

    Great for use in damp and dirty environments, these solenoids meet IP65 for protection from dust and spraying water. They have two-pin plugs that are compatible with Deutsch-style DC connectors (sold separately). They can be used to pull or push. To pull, install them with the connector pins facing your device; to push, install them facing away.

    Solenoid Diverting Valves for Chemicals

    Image of Attribute. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. Diverting Valves. Solenoid Diverting Valves for Chemicals .
    Often used for chemical analysis and other laboratory testing, these valves have a PTFE seal and body to withstand aggressive and corrosive solutions. All operate on electricity to automatically divert flow between ports. They do not require a pressure drop for operation. Any port can be used as an inlet or an outlet. Valves can direct flow from the inlet port to either outlet port. They cannot shut off flow. The actuator is mounted directly to the valve body to minimize movement and reduce wear.
    Flow Coefficient (Cv)—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.
