Our normally open (N/O) electric solenoid valve features a durable brass body with 1/4" female threaded (NPT) connections and nitrile rubber (NBR) seals. This valve is suitable for various applications, including hot or cold water, natural gas, air, low viscosity fluids, and oils. It has an IP65 rating, making it resistant to water spray. For outdoor installation, it is advisable to protect the valves with housing. Please note that this valve is not intended for underwater use.
Customers commonly select this general-purpose valve for DIY projects, moderate temperature environments, water exchange in aquariums, air horns, or removing moisture from air tanks. The valve's specifications include a pipe size of 1/4", flow aperture of 2.0 mm, and a body material made of brass. It operates as a direct lift valve in normally open mode.
The valve operates on DC 12V ± 10% with a power rating of 13 W. It is suitable for media such as air, water, diesel oil, and kerosene. The operational pressure ranges from 0-7 Bar for air/water and 0-5 Bar for oil. The flow capacity is 0.14 gallons per minute (GPM) of water at 60°F with a pressure drop of 1 PSI, and the flow value is 0.14 Cv. It can operate at temperatures ranging from 23°F to 176°F.
Please be aware that this valve is not designed for continuous operation as it is not a 100% duty cycle. During normal operation, the solenoid valve may become hot, reaching a maximum temperature compliant with national standards. Energizing the valve continuously for over 8 hours may lead to coil burnout. Additionally, this product contains chemicals, including lead, known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects. For more information, visit www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.
