U.S. Solid 3/4" 24V AC Normally Closed Solenoid Valve, VITON gasket
The U.S. Solid electric solenoid valve features a stainless steel body, suitable for outdoor but not underwater use. It's favored by customers for DIY projects, moderate temperature and chemical applications, as well as for controlling flow in irrigation, reverse osmosis, and motorcycle systems.
Direction of the Flow
Most U.S. Solid Valves are UNIDIRECTIONAL
Make a note of the arrow on your valve. Most U.S. Solid valves are unidirectional. This means they are intended to flow in one direction only, in the direction of the arrow. If connected in opposite directions, 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.
THREADING
U.S. Solid Valves follow National Standards for pipe thread. We suggest the use of Teflon tape to ensure the seal of the NPT threading. The tapered male and female thread form angled surfaces that with increased torque squeeze the Teflon tape resulting in a tight seal.
OVERHEATING
These valves should be energized for less than 8 hours. While most do not have more than 18W of power, the coils are in a contained area and can burn out if energized for too long. We suggest a computer fan to keep the coil cool if necessary to energize continuously for extended periods.
POLARITY
- For valves with 2 wires, the valve will actuate regardless of which terminal each wire is connected to (+ or -). Some units include a ground wire. Open up the connector and look for the ground symbol (as shown in the corner).
- For valves with a ground wire, please be sure to ground the valve.
GASOLINE and PRESSURE WARNING
- NBR gaskets should not be used with gasoline, kerosene, or other petroleum products. If your valve requires contact with these substances, opt for one with a VITON gasket.
- All solenoid valves need some pressure to actuate. This is especially true of pilot or indirectly operated valves.

We used it in conjunction with a float switch for a water tank.Reliable, repeatable results.Great value

Hello, I am occupying the valve in this way. Open and close at intervals. It's okay? Can I use fertilizer for agriculture such as Urea, potassium phosphate, calcium, etc?

Unfortunately I have a coil on mine that has de-laminated winding's, this will make it sound like a bee swarm, and mine sounds like a few killer bee swarms. valve functions as describe, although it looks like plated brass but truly is stainless-steel. It preforms and dose what I need for to for now, but will replace with a better valve in the future due to quality and lack of support from seller.....Customer service is poor at best....follow up with no further responses from seller, I eventually replaced the coil. of which cost as much as the entire valve.. Parker coil for this
