3/8'' 24V DC Electric Stainless Steel Solenoid Valve
Technical Details
Product Overview
This 3/8" 24V DC stainless steel electric solenoid valve delivers fast, reliable, zero-differential flow control for liquids, gases, diesel fuel, glycol, and high-temperature water in 24V DC low-voltage systems. Built with a solid stainless steel body and a Viton® (FKM) diaphragm seal, this 2-way normally closed valve features a fast-acting response time (< 1 second) and opens instantly when energized by a 24V DC 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, 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: Maximum chemical, corrosion, and temperature resistance for aggressive media, food-safe fluids, and industrial environments.
-
24V DC Automation & Battery Integration: Non-polarized wire leads connect directly into 24V DC PLCs, industrial control panels, 24V battery banks, and solar power circuits.
-
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, repeatable on/off flow timing.
-
Normally Closed Safety: Valve remains closed during power loss to automatically shut off media flow.
Common Applications
-
PLC-driven industrial automation, machine tool fluid control, and automated test benches
-
24V DC battery-powered and solar-powered irrigation, fertigation, and remote water management
-
Diesel fuel transfer, generator day-tank control, and oil management lines
-
Commercial coffee machinery, beverage processing, and high-temp sanitizing loops
-
Heavy equipment, agricultural chemical sprayers, and mobile liquid dosing setups
Installation
- Align media flow with the directional arrow cast into the valve body.
- Non-polarized 24V DC lead wires may be connected in either orientation.
- For optimal performance and seal integrity, mount the valve with the coil facing upward.
- Install an inline strainer or filter upstream to keep particulates out of the diaphragm chamber.
