3/8'' 110V AC Electric Brass Solenoid Valve N/O
Technical Details
Product Overview
The BZW-32K-110VAC is a heavy-duty 1-1/4" brass solenoid valve engineered for automatic, fail-open fluid control in 110-120V AC commercial and industrial systems. Featuring a high-performance Viton® (FKM) diaphragm seal, a direct-assisted lift mechanism, and a standard DIN 43650 Form A connector, this 2-way Normally Open (N/O) valve remains open when de-energized to permit unrestricted full-bore flow at 0 PSI, snapping shut when power is applied.
Normally Open Application & Media Notice:
-
-
- This valve is Normally Open (remains open when de-energized and closes when energized). Designed specifically for fail-open setups, gravity-fed drains, cooling loops, and emergency relief lines. Built with a solid brass body and a Viton® (FKM) diaphragm rated up to 250°F for hot water, compressed air, diesel fuel, and glycol solutions.
- Brass is not recommended for salt water, deionized water, or aggressive acids.
- Always verify chemical compatibility before installation.
-
Key Features
-
Direct-Assisted Zero Differential Operation: Operates reliably from 0 PSI (gravity feed) up to maximum working pressure without requiring a minimum pressure drop.
-
Normally Open (Fail-Open) Design: Ensures continuous fluid flow or immediate emergency line dumping upon loss of electrical power.
-
Standard 110-120V AC Compatibility: Plugs directly into standard commercial, industrial, and residential 120V AC power sources via an included DIN 43650 connector.
-
Solid Brass Body & Viton® Seal: Heavy-duty construction with high thermal and chemical resistance (up to 250°F) for water, air, diesel fuel, and neutral gases.
-
High-Flow 1-1/4" Porting: Provides maximum flow capacity with minimal pressure restriction across large-bore piping runs.
Common Applications
-
Commercial laundry machine fill lines, rinse cycle water control, and inlet shutoff
-
Industrial humidifier feed lines, reservoir make-up water control, and humidification system shutoff
-
Auxiliary diesel fuel transfer bypass, generator fuel lines, and glycol circulation
-
Commercial dispensing equipment, high-temp dump lines, and gas purge loop
- Batch dispensing lines, dosing pump feed control, and metered fill and top-up stations
-
Process water branch line control, tank fill and transfer, and recirculation loop isolation
Installation
- Align media flow with the directional arrow cast into the brass body.
- Mount in horizontal piping with the solenoid coil facing upward whenever practical for maximum service life.
- Wire the included DIN 43650 Form A connector according to local electrical codes (Terminals 1 & 2 for Line/Neutral, dedicated Earth ground terminal to safety earth).
- Install an upstream Y-strainer to prevent foreign particulates from entering the diaphragm chamber.
