18A42-120V Magnatrol Solenoid Valve

Overview

The Magnatrol 18A42 is a two-way, full port, bronze solenoid valve designed for general purpose fluid control. It features a Normally Closed (N/C) operation, meaning the valve opens when the coil is energized (Energize to Open) and closes when power is de-energized. This internal pilot-operated or direct-acting valve is constructed to be packless and can operate from zero differential pressure up to its maximum rating.

Features

• Operation: Normally Closed (N/C), opening upon coil energization.
• Construction: Cast Bronze body with Full Port, NPT ends, and packless design for dependable service.
• Pressure Operation: Requires no differential pressure to open, operating from 0 up to its maximum differential pressure.
• Coil: Designed for continuous duty with the specified 120 VAC coil.
• Design: Straight-thru design.
• Installation: Must be mounted in a horizontal pipe with the solenoid enclosure vertical and on top.
