1" PTFE Anti-Corrosive Solenoid Valve
Technical Details
Product Overview
The 1" PTFE Solenoid Valve PCF-25 is designed for corrosive fluid applications that require reliable electric shutoff and chemically resistant wetted surfaces. Its solid PTFE body and internal components provide resistance to many aggressive chemicals, acids, and alkalis, making it suitable for process systems where conventional metal valve materials may be unsuitable. Viton® seals provide additional chemical resistance, but compatibility must be confirmed for the specific media.
This 2-way, direct-acting, normally closed solenoid valve remains closed when power is off and opens when energized. Because it operates without a minimum pressure requirement, it is suitable for low-pressure, gravity-fed, and lightly pressurized systems where pilot-operated valves may not function properly.
The PCF-25 is designed for chemical transfer piping, recirculation loops, chemical wash systems, and neutralization processes. Its 1" female NPT connections make it suitable for larger piping connections where corrosion resistance and dependable electric shutoff are priorities. The valve is designed for moderate flow applications rather than maximum throughput. An energy-saving solenoid coil reduces heat buildup and limits electrical demand during continuous operation.
Common Applications
It is often installed in:
- Chemical transfer systems: Controls compatible corrosive liquids and gases in chemical handling and transfer operations.
- Chemical wash systems: Provide automated on-off flow control for compatible cleaning chemicals and process fluids.
- Neutralization processes: Controls compatible chemicals in industrial neutralization and treatment systems.
- Recirculation loops: Provides electric shutoff in low-pressure chemical and process-fluid circulation lines.
- Chemical dosing systems: Controls compatible media in dosing equipment and process piping.
- Corrosive fluid handling: Provides electrically controlled shutoff in applications where conventional metal valve materials may be unsuitable.
- Low-pressure process systems: Suitable for gravity-fed and lightly pressurized applications that do not provide the minimum pressure required by pilot-operated valves.
Installation
- Install in a compatible 1" female NPT piping system and follow the flow-direction marking on the valve body.
- Keep operating pressure within the valve's rated range.
- Ensure media temperatures remain within the specified operating range of 15°F to 175°F.
- Because this is a direct-acting valve, no minimum operating pressure is required.
- Verify that the selected coil voltage matches the available power supply before connecting the valve.
- Use the DIN 43650A electrical connection and ensure the connector is properly secured.
- Flush the piping before installation to help prevent debris from entering the valve and interfering with operation.
- Use an appropriate thread sealant and avoid over-tightening the PTFE threaded connections.
- Properly align and support connected piping to prevent unnecessary stress on the valve body.
- Can be mounted horizontally or vertically.
*Always confirm chemical compatibility for PTFE and Viton® with your specific media, concentration, and operating conditions before selecting the valve.
