1" 12V DC Stainless Steel Solenoid Valve N/O
Technical Details
Product Overview
The SZW-25K-12VDC is a 1" normally open stainless steel solenoid valve designed for automatic on/off control of water, air, and other compatible media in commercial, residential, and industrial systems. Its 12V DC coil closes the valve when energized and allows it to return to the open position when power is removed. This fail-open operation makes it suitable for applications where maintaining flow during a power interruption is important, including cooling-water circulation, bypass lines, recirculation systems, and draining or purging.
Constructed with a 304 stainless steel body, stainless steel components, and a Viton® diaphragm, this 2-way valve features 1" female NPT ports and a 25 mm orifice. It has a Cv of 12 and a flow capacity of approximately 92 GPM at 60 psi. The operating pressure range is 0–90 psi, with a media temperature range of 15°F to 250°F. The 12V DC coil is rated at 16 watts according to the SZW series specification sheet. The valve has a response time of less than one second and supports continuous energization within its rated voltage and ambient temperature limits.
Common Applications
- Cooling-water circulation and equipment cooling loops
- Industrial water control and process-water distribution
- Water treatment and filtration equipment
- Bypass and recirculation lines
- Gravity-fed draining, venting, and purging
- Humidifiers and water sprinkler systems
- Air compressors and pneumatic systems
- Fluid dispensing and dosing systems
Because this is a normally open valve, it is best suited to applications where flow should continue when power is off. Confirm that this fail-open condition is appropriate for the system before selecting the valve.
Installation
- Install the valve in the direction indicated by the flow arrow on the body; it is a unidirectional valve.
- The SZW series supports vertical or horizontal mounting.
- Flush piping before installation, and we recommend an upstream filter to help prevent debris from interfering with the diaphragm or valve operation.
- Verify media compatibility with the stainless steel construction and Viton® diaphragm.
- Connect the leads to a properly rated 12V DC power supply and protect the coil from direct exposure to the elements.
