How Does It Work?
With the coil de-energised the valve is open and the medium flows freely. When the coil is energised the valve closes; when power is removed it opens again.
Applications
- Steam lines
- Irons, presses and dryers
- Hot water lines
- Industrial laundries
Selection and Installation
Install the solenoid valve with the coil on top and fit a strainer upstream. For high temperatures, specify the diaphragm and seal material when ordering. Specify the coil voltage (AC/DC) when ordering.
