3/4" 12V DC Stainless Steel Solenoid Valve
Technical Details
Product Overview
The SZW-20-12VDC is a 12 Volt DC, 3/4” Stainless Steel Solenoid Valve. This valve is food-grade as well as compatible with a variety of media such as air, water, gas, diesel fuel, weak acids, and glycol. It is suitable for temperatures from 15°F up to 250°F. Its normal position is closed, meaning it will not open until it is powered and will close when the power is removed. The valve has standard 3/4” female NPT input and output ports.
To operate this valve requires 16 watts from a DC power source typical to that of a car battery. The compact design of this general-purpose valve allows it to be installed in tight spaces without compromising quality and integrity.
The SZW-20-12VDC valve includes a 12 Volt DC powered coil that has a voltage tolerance of +/- 10%. This valve requires 16 watts of DC power to open and close under pressure. The valve is gravity-feed capable and requires no differential pressure to operate. Simply apply power, and it will open; remove power for it to close. The pressure applied should not exceed the recommended 90 psi.
Installation
- There is an arrow on the valve body demonstrating the direction of flow.
- Coil up is the preferred mounting position; however, it can be installed in any position if necessary.
- The coil is covered and weather-resistant but should never be submerged, as it will cause damage to the unit.
- Where applicable, a pre-filter is recommended to ensure debris does not prevent the diaphragm from properly sealing.
