1/8" 24V AC Stainless Electric Solenoid Valve
Technical Details
Product Overview
The SS-2J-24VAC is a compact, direct-acting 1/8" stainless steel solenoid valve engineered for precise, zero-differential flow control in low-voltage automated systems. Built with a solid stainless steel body and a high-performance Viton (FKM) seal, this 2-way normally closed valve operates reliably from 0 PSI up to its maximum pressure rating, opening automatically when energized by a standard 24V AC power source.
Media Compatibility Notice: Equipped with a premium Viton® (FKM) seal, this valve is rated for hot water up to 250°F, diesel fuel, light oils, weak acids, and harsh fluids that degrade standard NBR rubber. Always verify chemical compatibility with both the stainless body and Viton seal before installation.
Key Features
-
Stainless Steel & Viton Construction: Excellent corrosion, chemical, and temperature resistance for demanding liquids and gases.
-
24V AC Low-Voltage Operation: Integrates directly with standard HVAC transformers, thermostat controllers, irrigation timers, and 24VAC PLC outputs.
-
Zero Differential Operation: Direct-acting design opens and closes instantly at 0 PSI without requiring minimum line pressure.
-
Normally Closed Safety: Valve remains closed during power loss to automatically shut off media flow.
-
Compact Footprint: 1/8" female NPT ports designed for tight machinery enclosures, manifolds, and low-flow dosing loops.
Common Applications
-
HVAC equipment, commercial humidification, and solar thermal heating loops
-
Automated hydroponics, fertigation systems, and liquid additive dosing
-
Commercial espresso machines, beverage equipment, and high-temp water control
-
Low-voltage diesel fuel transfer, auxiliary heaters, and oil lines
-
PLC-driven industrial automation, laboratory test benches, and compressed air lines
Installation
- Align media flow with the directional arrow cast into the stainless valve body.
- The non-polarized 24V AC coil wire leads can connect to either AC supply conductor.
- For optimal service life, mount the valve with the coil facing upward.
- Install an inline filter upstream to keep debris off the Viton seal.
