Solenoid Valves What it is An electromechanical valve that uses an energized coil to move a plunger and open or close a flow path for liquids or gases. It enables automatic, remote control of fluid or gas flow in a wide range of systems. Key benefits Automates flow control with minimal manual intervention, improving consistency and uptime Fast, repeatable actuation supports precise on/off or directional control Simple integration with PLCs, controllers, sensors, and automation networks Compact, modular bodies that fit small spaces and multi valve manifolds Flexible material and seal options tailored to media and environment Core attributes to consider Function: Suitable for 2way or 3way configurations with normally open or normally closed options depending on process needs Compatibility: Media compatibility depends on body and seal materials; verify chemical and temperature compatibility for your application Size: Available in a range of port sizes and connection types to fit standard piping and manifolds Material: Common body materials include brass, stainless steel, and engineering plastics; common seals include NBR, EPDM, and FKM Performance: Designed for reliable seating, quick actuation, and long service life under specified operating conditions; select model based on medium, pressure range, and temperature 23 practical use scenarios Industrial automation: Automatically isolate or route chemical solutions in a dosing loop controlled by a PLC, improving accuracy and safety Irrigation and water management: Timed valve control for efficient irrigation schedules and water conservation Cleaning and beverage systems: Automate rinse cycles or dispensing sequences to improve throughput and repeatability Installation and selection tips Verify coil voltage and electrical compatibility with your control system Confirm media compatibility with the chosen body and seal materials Choose the correct configuration (2way vs 3way) and valve type (normally open vs normally closed) for your circuit Match port size and connection type to existing piping or manifolds Modelspecific guidance Refer to the exact valve model to confirm coil voltage, port size, body material, and seal options, and ensure compatibility with your media and operating conditions
