High-Performance Solenoid Valve

April 14, 2021

The high-performance Wattimizer series solenoid valves are now available with a plastic body ideal for air, gas, and corrosive media. For many applications, plastic valve bodies offer significant value over metal-based bodies as they’re lightweight, corrosion-resistant, offer a lower profile, and use convenient push-to-connect fittings—all at a lower cost. These plastic bodies are CUL recognized.

 

The plastic valve body is approximately 1-in. in diameter, comes with an integral 1/4-in. OD tube "push-to-connect" port fittings and has a maximum pressure rating of 125 psig at room temperature. Plastic bodies and manifolds are designed for medical, beverage, appliance, fluid power, automotive, gas, and more; and can be used in direct acting and pilot applications.

 

The Wattmizer is a highly efficient, miniature electric 12V solenoid valve designed for use in compact areas requiring low power draw. These 2 and 3-way solenoid valves are offered in a range of .65 to 9 watts of continuous power, with operating pressure capacities of up to 1,200 psi (85 bar) with machined metal bodies. Note, plastic valve bodies are limited to low-pressure applications up to 125 psi.
