3/4" 24V AC Stainless Steel Solenoid Valve
Technical Details
Product Overview
The SZW-20-24VAC is a 3/4” inch, Stainless Steel, 2-way, 24 Volt AC electric solenoid valve that is suitable for potable water, food processing, as well as other liquids, gas, and air. The Viton seal can handle temperatures up to 250°F and as low as 15°F. This Normally Closed solenoid valve stays closed until power is applied, at which time it will remain open until the power is removed. The valve has a solid stainless steel body with female input and output ports. This is a great general-purpose valve that has no minimum pressure requirements and is compatible with many types of media.
The SZW-20-24VAC has a 24 Volt AC coil with a voltage range that is -+ 10% and requires 19 VA (1.00 Amps) to actuate. It can be easily connected to a power source with the coil's 5.5” lead wires. The valve timing is uncertain, but the change in position is fast, less than one second. The valve is rated for 100% duty cycle but not indefinitely. A solenoid valve should never be installed as a means of “shut-off” in the event of a power failure. This unit is mountable in any position but preferably coil up.
Applications
This model utilizes a semi-direct lift diaphragm, making it ideal for gravity feed applications. This means the valve will operate within a pressure range of 0 psi up to 145 psi.
Installation
- The lead wires can be connected to + or – as the coil has no polarity.
- There is also an arrow molded into the valve body that indicates the direction of flow.
- When installing a solenoid valve, we always recommend using an in-line pre-filter to prevent the valve from malfunctioning due to debris.
