Features

  • -NEW- Re-engineered low power coil with up to 50% less heat generation. The valve starts as 19W and as it heat up to operating temperature power reduces to approx. 10-13W.
  • Constructed of industrial grade brass, this valve is corrosion resistant, more conducive for welding, optimal for higher temperature projects, and can be used with gasoline, diesel fuel, kerosene oil, natural gas, air etc. Due to the chemical composition of brass, this valve should NOT be used with projects involving drinking water or other water projects.
  • This valve was manufactured with a VITON seal. VITON is the most durable and high performance rubber material with the ability to resist high temperatures and corrosive chemicals and other fluids like gasoline, diesel fuel, oils, and lubricants.
  • This highly responsive valve will open and close in less than 1 second when actuated; meaning it will open or close the flow instantaneously when energized or de-energized. Also, our U.S. SOLID engineers have determined that the life cycle of this valve is well over a million cycles with proper operating conditions and maintenance.
  • PLEASE NOTE: This valve is NOT a continuous duty valve and should NOT be in continuous use for more than 8 hours in a single cycle; to do so will shorten the life of the valve and may cause the core of the valve to burn out. If you need a continuous duty valve for your project please search for our U.S. SOLID Motorized Ball Valves.
  • Please Note: The solenoid valve may experience leaks as a result of impurities accumulated over multiple uses. This issue can be resolved by disassembling the valve and thoroughly cleaning it.

    • I would buy it again

    • I almost sent it back; it works great!

Review Image by Pam Pam
I was doing work for my mother. Before I hooked everything up, I made sure I looked at the flow arrow on the side. I assembled everything and called my mother to witness the first use. The first problem as the pump wasn’t primed, but this was fixed quickly. Then…boom! It was working! Then I told mom to release the switch…she wasn’t pushing it. When she did push the switch, flow increased. I was angry. Mom said “break time!. I told my mom that I’m writing a review, while complaining about this switch. Then a light went on; I should check the flow arrow… I had installed it backward. I guess I should have recalled the great advice of “measure twice, cut once.” If I had doubled checked my work, I would have saved myself headache. ... show more

    • Revised review after testing replacement - Really impressive customer service!
Style: 1-PACK
I originally posted the negative review below, and almost immediately after posting it, the owner of the company not only issued me a credit, but he sent me an email acknowledging they had a manufacturing problem. He also offered to send me out an immediate replacement, and asked that I call him personally. So, I called, and he answered - on a Sunday. As background, I bought this solenoid over a year ago, but had not installed it until last weekend, so I had exceeded the warranty period and they were under no requirement to address my concerns. I was very impressed that he admitted they had a manufacturing/supplier problem and they were replacing the units. He explained that some people do not understand these types of valves are not intended to be energized (i.e. be kept in the on/open position) for an extended period of time. The valve is opened via an electromagnet which by their very nature will generate some heat over time. That is both entirely reasonable and in line with the additional research I had done. This was also in line with my particular need (to open a low-pressure LPG line in a boat/RV when cooking, and automatically shut off the supply when the switch is turned off). I also determined this is consistent with other solenoids. He went on to explain that there are better solutions for valves that need to be kept open for extended periods. I put in the replacement, and am happy to report that while the solenoid gets warm, it is much cooler than the first one, and the draw went from 2 amps on the first unit to about 1.2 amps on the replacement. As sailors, we are always concerned about battery draw as we sail for many hours without running the engine, so unnecessarily drawing down our battery bank is not something we want to do unnecessarily. In short, I am extremely impressed by someone who cares enough about their business to fix a problem even after the warranty period expires - and to be honest when a manufacturing or supply problem is discovered. I will now go out of my way to buy from US Solid in the future. ORIGINAL REVIEW: I bought this valve as I had to repair the system on my boat about a year ago. I finally got around to replacing my old solenoid which was quite rusty, but still worked. Upon hooking this up, it ran WAY hot, measuring over 180 degrees on the outside. Now I have to replace it immediately after putting it on. I see they no longer sell this unit. ... show more

    • Very good quality

Very well made valve which is working well. Has the mounting bolt points on the bottom which it appears the SS Solid valve do not so I had to return a couple of SS valves before realizing the brass ones have the mounting points but not the SS (at least the ones I looked at). This could be made clear in the description ... show more
