What does 'Normally Closed' mean and what happens if the power fails?

'Normally Closed' means the valve stays shut, blocking flow, until it receives power. If power is lost for any reason, the valve will automatically spring shut, which is a useful fail-safe for many systems.

What kind of fluids or gases can I use with this valve?

This valve is suitable for controlling the flow of air, water, and oil. Its brass body and stainless steel internals are designed for use with non-corrosive media up to a temperature of 70°C.

What is the operating pressure range and what size are the ports?

This valve operates with a pressure from 0 up to 8 kgf/cm² (about 113 PSI). The inlet and outlet ports are standard 1/4" female threads, so they'll connect with common fittings.

This is a normally closed solenoid valve. It controls the flow of air, water, or oil. It stays shut when there is no power and opens only when electricity is applied. This design makes it a reliable part for any automated fluid system. Features and Benefits - Normally Closed (NC) operation - The valve closes automatically when power is off, providing a safe shutoff to prevent leaks. - Multiple voltage options - You can get it in 12V DC, 24V DC, 110V AC, or 220V AC to match your system's power. - Alloy body with 1/4" ports - It has a solid build for managing common gases and liquids. - Fast-acting coil - The internal electric coil reacts quickly to power, allowing for fast opening and closing. Applications - Controlling water lines in an automated garden or greenhouse irrigation system. - Managing airflow from an air compressor to pneumatic tools or actuators. - Building custom liquid dispensers or process control systems for DIY projects.

A: You need to match the valve's voltage to your power source. The 12V and 24V options are DC and require a DC power supply, common in automotive or low-voltage electronics. The 110V and 220V are AC for standard wall power.. Q: I see 12V, 24V, 110V, and 220V options. How do I choose? A: You need to match the valve's voltage to your power source.

Q: Do I need to install a filter before the valve? A: It's a very good idea to install a filter on the inlet side. Debris in the air or fluid line can get stuck in the valve and cause it to leak or fail to close properly. A simple particle filter will extend its life..
