Description
U.S. Solid- 3/8" 12V DC Normally Closed Solenoid Valve, VITON gasket, Solid Brass U. S. Solid Normally Closed Electric Solenoid Valve; 3/8”ports, brass body, Viton seal, 12 volt DC, for air, water, or fuel U.S. Solid normally closed (N/C) electric solenoid valve is constructed with a durable brass body, two-way inlet and outlet ports with three-eighth inch (3/8") female threaded (NPT) connections, and heat and oil resistant Viton gasket.The direct current coil energizes at 12 volts DC;voltage range +- 10%. 18 Watt power rating. Direct lift valve operates from 0 PSI to a maximum pressure of 145 PSI (0 MPa to 1.0 MPa). Operational pressure range for water: 0 to 128 PSI; for oil: 0 to 99 PSI; for air or gases: 0 to 128 PSI.(4 mm) flow aperture permits a unidirectional flow capacity of 0.6 gallons per minute (GPM) of water at 60oFwith a pressure drop of 1 PSI (0.6 Cv). Operational temperature range (steady state) -5 to 80 Celsius. It is also designed to withstand short exposures to 14 to 248 degrees Fahrenheit; -10 to +120 degrees Celsius. Suitable for outdoor use; not for use underwater. Suitable for use with hot or cold water, gas, air, very low viscosity fluids (< 20 cst), oils and hydrocarbons, e.g., gasoline, kerosene, or diesel fuel. Valve is not intended to be energized continuously for more than 8 hours. This can lead to burnout of the coil, and malfunctioning of the valve. In cases where this is necessary, it is recommended user install a computer fan to keep valve cool. Customers chose this general purpose valve for: do-it-yourself projects, moderate temperature applications, harsh chemicals, flow control for irrigation systems, reverse osmosis system, electronic control of tank selection, water line, or motorcycle air shocks. Manufactured in China. Model: USS2-00006. Quality and/or conformity managed in accordance with standards: ISO 9001:2000; GB/T 19001:2000; European EN61000-6-1:2001 and EN61000-6-3:2001. Direction of the flow (most U.S. Solid Valves are UNIDIRECTIONAL) FLOW DIRECTION Make note of the arrow on your valve. Most U.S. Solid valves are unidirectional. This means they are intended for flow in one direction only, in the direction of the arrow. See Figure 1 for location of arrow. If connected in opposite direction, the valve will not actuate properly (will not close for Normally Closed valves). Additionally, be sure the medium passing through is filtered. If not, particles will cling to the gasket over time, which can cause it to not seal properly. National Pipe Thread, Standard USA thread (use Teflon tape to seal) THREADING U.S. Solid Valves follow National Standards for pipe thread. In the U.S.A. we use NPT, while in England we use BSPT. We recommend use of Teflon tape to ensure seal of the NPT threading, as shown in Figure 2. The tapered male and female thread are forming angled surfaces that with increased torque squeeze the Teflon tape that results in a tight seal. It is suitable to liquids, gases and even for high vacuum. NPT seal is known to be use even in UHV (Ultra High Vacuum) applications. Note that this particular valve is not pneumatic by design but numerous of our customers use them for compressed gasses. POLARITY For valves with 2 wires, the valve will actuate regardless of which terminal each wire is connected to (+ or -). Some units, like those pictured to the left, include a ground wire. Open up the connector and look for the ground symbol, shown in the corner of Figure 3. For valves with a ground wire, please be sure to ground the valve. For the other two wires, the valve will actuate regardless of which terminal each wire is connected to (+ or -). OVERHEATING These valves are not intended to be energized for more than 8 hours continously. While most do not have more than 18W of power, the coils are in a contained area, and can burnout if energized for too long. If necessary to energize continously for extended periods, we recommend a computer fan to keep the coil cool. GASOLINE WARNING Note whether your solenoid valve has a VITON gasket, NBR gasket, or another type. NBR gaskets are not intended for use with gasoline, kerosene, or other petroleum products. If your valve is needed for these, please purchase a valve with a VITON gasket. PRESSURE All solenoid valves need some pressure to actuate. This is especially true of pilot or indirectly operated valves. CA PROP65 WARNING This product can expose you to chemicals including lead, which is known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. They are not allowed by federal law to be installed for potable water use in the U.S.A. and its territories.
