1/2" Pilot Operated Solenoid Valve
Technical Details
Product Overview
The UBP-15 is a 1/2 inch pilot operated solenoid valve with NBR seals. It provides dependable on off control for water and general utility systems. The valve is UL Recognized. Certification details are available upon request.
This valve uses a normally closed piloted design. It supports higher flow than direct-acting valves when sufficient pressure differential is present. The pilot-operated design requires a minimum inlet pressure of 4.5 psi to ensure reliable opening and closing. This valve is not recommended for gravity-fed systems.
Stainless steel internal components support continuous duty operation, while the brass body suits non-corrosive fluids. When applied correctly, the valve handles water, air, compatible liquids, and light oils.
Why UL Recognition Matters
UL Recognition confirms that critical electrical components have been tested to meet established UL safety standards. This lowers the risk of electrical malfunction and helps ensure safer integration into control panels, automation systems, and OEM assemblies.
Common Applications
Users commonly install it in:
- Industrial water lines
- Utility manifolds
- Control panel assemblies
Installation
- Each unit ships fully assembled with a mounted solenoid coil.
- Multiple voltage options support standard power requirements. A DIN electrical connection simplifies installation.
- Adequate system pressure must be maintained, particularly in high-elevation or low-head installations.
*Always follow proper installation practices and confirm material compatibility with your fluid, pressure, and temperature requirements.
