About Actuated On/Off Valves

For Use With: Natural Gas, Propane, Butane
Seal Material: Buna-N Rubber
Specifications Met: See Table

Install these valves in gas pipelines to control the flow of natural gas, propane, and butane to equipment. 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 2 valves resist light splashing and dust. NEMA 4X valves resist washdowns, splashing water, corrosive liquid, and dust.

For IP50 valves, the rating applies only to the enclosure, which resists dust.

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.
