Precision Operation: The 1/2" NPT port size ensures that this normally closed valve responds swiftly, opening and closing in less than 1 second. This precise operation, alongside a lifecycle of over a million cycles, provides reliability and efficiency for critical fluid control needs. Optimized for High-Temperature Applications: This valve is specifically engineered for high-temperature environments and is suitable for use with gasoline, diesel fuel, kerosene oil, natural gas, air, and similar fluids. It is not intended for use with drinking water or in water-related projects. Duty Cycle Consideration: While designed for robust performance, this 12V DC solenoid valve is not recommended for continuous operation exceeding 8 hours in a single cycle. For continuous duty applications, motorized ball valves are advised. Extended Service Life: Built for long-term reliability with a tested lifespan of over one million cycles. The seal delivers excellent chemical resistance and is engineered to perform consistently under high-temperature conditions. Durable Construction: Constructed from industrial-grade brass, this electric solenoid valve offers strong durability and consistent performance in demanding applications.
