Solenoid valve What it is: An electromechanical valve that opens and closes to control the flow of liquids or gases in automated systems. Actuated by an electrical signal to move the valve core and regulate passage. Key benefits Enables automated, precise flow control with minimal manual intervention Provides fast response and reliable shutoff for consistent system performance Compact, modular design supports easy integration and maintenance Flexible compatibility with common piping interfaces and control options Durable construction and seals designed for long service life Function and operation A coil, when energized, shifts the valve and allows flow; deenergizing returns to a closed or open state depending on configuration Available in normally closed and normally open configurations to suit different control strategies Suitability and performance depend on model specifications for media, pressure, and electrical requirements Size and materials Port size, body material, and seal options vary by model to match system needs Designed for compatibility with standard installation practices and fittings Material and component selections are chosen to balance durability, chemical compatibility, and operating conditions Performance attributes Fast actuation with predictable response times Tight shutoff when not powered to minimize leakage Consistent cycling performance under normal operating conditions Electrical compatibility with common control systems (coil options may include different voltages) Compatibility and installation Suitable for a range of nonh corrosive liquids and gases, depending on model materials and ratings Supports standard fittings and connector styles for straightforward installation Flexible mounting options to accommodate different orientations and space constraints Use scenarios Industrial automation: control coolant, rinse, or process liquids in manufacturing lines with quick on/off control Irrigation and landscape systems: remotely regulate water flow to multiple zones with reliable actuation HVAC and process equipment: modulate air or liquid flows in environmental control, cooling loops, or processing circuits Maintenance and care Easy installation and replacement; periodic inspection of seals, connections, and coil integrity is recommended Ensure power and control circuitry are isolated during maintenance Refer to the specific model sheet for maintenance guidance and replacement parts Note For exact specifications, consult the product's model documentation: coil voltage, port size, body material, seal type, operating pressure range, and media compatibility vary by model
