1/8'' 24V DC Electric Plastic Solenoid Valve
Technical Details
Product Overview
The RSC-1-24VDC is a compact 1/8" polypropylene solenoid valve designed for economical, corrosion-free control of water, air, and low-viscosity fluids. Built with a lightweight plastic body, an 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 DC power source.
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 before installation.

Key Features
-
Non-Metallic Polypropylene Body: Lightweight, corrosion-proof, and food-safe—prevents metal leaching in pure water and RO applications.
-
24V DC Automation Control: Connects directly to 24V DC PLCs, industrial control cards, battery banks, and solar power circuits.
-
Zero Differential Operation: Direct-acting design opens and closes reliably at 0 PSI without requiring minimum line pressure.
-
Compact Footprint: 1/8" female NPT ports with a 2.5 mm orifice (0.2 Cv) fit tight equipment enclosures and automated dosing loops.
-
Normally Closed Safety: Valve remains closed during power failure to automatically shut off media flow.
Common Applications
-
Reverse osmosis (RO) purification, water filtration, drinking fountains, and ice makers
-
24V DC automated hydroponics, fertigation manifolds, and nutrient dosing
-
Commercial beverage dispensers, dishwashers, and laundry equipment
-
Pneumatic dental chair equipment, spittoon rinsers, and medical water lines
-
PLC-driven industrial automation, 24V DC pneumatic control, and OEM machinery
Installation
- Align fluid flow with the direction arrow cast into the valve body.
- Non-polarized 24V DC wire leads can be connected in either orientation.
- When installing metal pipe fittings into the polypropylene NPT ports, use PTFE tape and avoid overtightening to prevent cracking the plastic housing.
- For optimal service life, install an inline filter upstream to keep sediment from clogging the 2.5 mm orifice.
