1-1/2" 24V DC Electric Solenoid Valve N/O
Technical Details
Product Overview
This is a normally open, 1-1/2” 24V DC brass solenoid valve. There is no required minimum pressure, making this a great choice for gravity feed operations. It is rated up to 90 psi and has a temperature range of 15 to 250 degrees Fahrenheit. Since the valve is normally open, it is ‘open’ without power and ‘closed’ when powered.
Fluids should have a viscosity below 20 cst for proper valve function. The Cv value of the valve is 29 (used to calculate flow rate), and it has a 40 mm orifice. The internal components are stainless steel with a Viton seal. Compatible media include air, gas, water, and weak acids, as well as Freon.
Common Applications
Common uses for these valves include:
- Plumbing
- HVAC
- Solar Heating
- Irrigation
- Beer Brewing
- Industrial Applications
This valve offers limited protection against dust ingress as well as protection against splash water with its IP54 electrical enclosure rating. This valve requires 30 W of power to function. While these valves are splash resistant, they are not submersible. The solenoid coil has no polarity; therefore, the lead wires are interchangeable.
Installation
A pre-filter is recommended to avoid any buildup inside the orifice of the valve. Since the valve is unidirectional, media should only flow in the direction of the valve body arrow.
