Product Overview
This 3/8" 12 V DC stainless steel electric solenoid valve provides fast, reliable flow control for liquids, gases, diesel fuel, glycol, and high-temperature water in 12V DC low-voltage systems. Constructed with a heavy-duty stainless steel body and a Viton (FKM) diaphragm seal, this 2-way normally closed valve features a fast-acting response time (< 1 second) and operates at zero pressure differential.
Media & Temperature Notice:
-
-
- Equipped with a premium Viton® (FKM) diaphragm, this valve is rated for fluid temperatures from 15°F up to 250°F.
- Viton provides excellent resistance to diesel fuel, oils, glycol, weak acids, and harsh fluids that degrade standard NBR rubber.
- Always verify chemical compatibility with both the stainless body and Viton seal before installation.
-
Key Features
-
Stainless Steel & Viton Construction: High chemical, corrosion, and temperature resistance for aggressive media, food-safe fluids, and outdoor environments.
-
12V DC Low-Voltage Operation: Wire leads connect directly into vehicle electrical systems, 12V batteries, solar charge controllers, and mobile power packs (non-polarized).
-
Zero Differential Operation: Direct-assisted lift design opens and seals reliably from 0 PSI up to maximum working pressure.
-
Fast-Acting Response: Opens and closes in less than one second for precise on/off flow timing.
-
Normally Closed Safety: Valve remains closed during power loss to automatically shut off fluid media flow.
Common Applications
-
Auxiliary diesel fuel transfer, vehicle fuel management, and glycol heating loops
-
RV, marine, and mobile food truck plumbing and high-temp hot water systems
-
Solar-powered water management, remote irrigation, and agricultural chemical spraying
-
Reverse osmosis (RO) water purification, chemical dosing, and weak acid handling
-
Field environmental sampling, battery-operated compressed air loops, and gas purging
Installation
- Align media flow with the directional arrow on the valve body.
- The non-polarized 12V DC wire leads may be connected in either orientation.
- For optimal performance and long service life, install the valve with the coil facing upward.
- Place an inline strainer or filter upstream to keep particulates out of the diaphragm chamber.
