{"title":"Water Solenoid Valve","description":"\u003cp\u003eView Tameson's selection of water solenoid valves. A water solenoid valve is designed specifically for water media applications. The valves in this category have a brass housing, an EPDM seal and are normally closed (NC). These materials are a good and reliable solution for water applications. A solenoid valve acts very quickly in comparison to other valve types. The main product specification considerations are discussed below to make an educated selection process.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDesign\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA solenoid valve is electrically controlled. The selection available on this page are all normally closed (NC). This means that when no power is applied, the valve is in the closed position not allowing water to flow through. When the valve is supplied the proper voltage, it opens to allow water to flow through. These valves are 2\/2-way, meaning they have 1 inlet and 1 outlet. To understand how the different design types work, view our solenoid valve type difference page.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll designs are considered to be a solenoid operated water valve, but the difference in design effects function:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDirect Operated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Doesn't require a pressure differential to function properly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIndirect Operated\u003c\/strong\u003e: Requires a pressure differential (typically 0.5 bar) to function properly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSemi-Direct Operated:\u003c\/strong\u003e A pressure differential isn't required, but assists in the operation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e Proper valve orientation of inlet and outlet is important for proper function.
