3/8'' 24V AC Electric Stainless Steel Solenoid Valve
Technical Details
Product Overview
This 3/8" stainless steel electric solenoid valve delivers fast, reliable, zero-differential flow control for liquids, gases, diesel fuel, glycol, and high-temperature water in 24V AC systems. Built with a solid stainless steel body and a Viton® (FKM) diaphragm seal, this 2-way normally closed valve opens in under a second when energized by a standard 24V AC power source.
Media & Temperature Notice:
-
-
- Equipped with a premium Viton® (FKM) diaphragm, this valve is rated for fluid temperatures up to 250°F.
- Viton® provides exceptional chemical resistance for diesel fuel, glycol, oils, 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: Maximum chemical, corrosion, and temperature resistance for aggressive media, food-safe fluids, and industrial environments.
-
24V AC Low-Voltage Integration: Wire leads connect directly into standard HVAC transformers, Building Management Systems (BMS), irrigation timers, and 24VAC control boards.
-
Zero Differential Operation: Direct-assisted lift design opens and closes instantly at 0 PSI without requiring minimum system line pressure.
-
Fast-Acting Response: Opens and seals in less than one second for precise on/off flow timing.
-
Normally Closed Safety: Valve remains closed during power failure to automatically stop media flow.
Common Applications
-
HVAC equipment, solar thermal loops, humidification, and glycol heating loops
-
24V AC automated hydroponics, fertigation manifolds, and liquid chemical dosing
-
Commercial coffee machines, beverage processing, and high-temp sanitizing loops
-
Low-voltage diesel fuel transfer, oil lines, and generator fuel management
-
Building Management Systems (BMS), compressed air lines, and process water loops
Installation
- Align media flow with the directional arrow on the valve body.
- The non-polarized 24V AC lead wires can connect to either AC conductor.
- For maximum service life and seal integrity, mount the valve with the coil facing upward.
- Install an inline strainer or filter upstream to keep sediment out of the diaphragm chamber.
