1/8'' 24V AC Electric Plastic Solenoid Valve
Technical Details
Product Overview
The RSC-1-24VAC is a lightweight, compact 1/8" polypropylene solenoid valve designed for economical and corrosion-free control of water, air, and low-viscosity fluids. Featuring a durable EPDM diaphragm and stainless steel internal components, this 2-way normally closed, direct-acting valve operates at 0 PSI differential, opening automatically when energized by a standard 24V AC power supply.
Media & Material Notice:
-
-
- Built with a polypropylene body and an EPDM diaphragm, this valve is ideal for drinking water, reverse osmosis (RO) systems, and air lines.
- EPDM is not compatible with petroleum-based fluids, oils, or diesel fuel.
- Always verify chemical compatibility with both polypropylene and EPDM prior to installation.
-
Key Features
-
Non-Metallic Polypropylene Body: Corrosion-resistant, lightweight, and cost-effective—ideal for potable water, RO water, and pure fluids.
-
24V AC Low-Voltage Integration: Plugs directly into standard 24VAC irrigation timers, HVAC transformers, and low-voltage control circuits.
-
Zero Differential Operation: Direct-acting design opens and closes reliably at 0 PSI without requiring minimum line pressure.
-
Normally Closed Safety: Valve remains closed during power failure to automatically stop fluid flow.
-
Compact Footprint: 1/8" female NPT ports designed for tight equipment enclosures, appliances, and compact manifolds.
Common Applications
-
Water filtration, reverse osmosis (RO) purification, and drinking fountains
-
Commercial ice makers, water dispensers, and beverage equipment
-
Pneumatic dental chair equipment, spittoon rinsers, and medical water lines
-
Automated hydroponics, fertigation loops, and 24VAC irrigation systems
-
Compressed air control, laboratory fluid handling, and OEM appliances
Installation
- Align fluid flow with the directional arrow on the valve body.
- The non-polarized 24V AC wire leads can connect to either AC supply conductor.
- When threading fittings into the plastic NPT ports, use PTFE tape and avoid overtightening to prevent splitting the housing.
- For optimal service life, install an inline filter upstream to keep debris off the EPDM seat.
