SOLENOID VALVES
True Blue® Solenoid Valves help you stop, allow or redirect flow. Because of the extensive variety of body design and coil combinations available from stock, Plast-O-Matic has a valve to meet both your processing needs and electrical requirements.
Plast-O-Matic offers one wetted core design; the rest are high-performance designs with the patented Fail-Dry safety vent, and absolutely no wetted metals.
Most are direct acting, normally-closed. A pilot-operated model offers higher pressures and flows, and one normally-open model is available. The rest are 3-way (also known as diverter valves) or specialty items.
This is a quick introduction, moving from the most basic offering to the most specialized.
Immediately below is an overview of Plast-O-Matic's approach to Solenoid Valve design, followed by capsule descriptions with links to detailed catalog pages.
Feature rugged thermoplastic construction with no wetted metal parts.
• EAS- Series 2-way, PS Series 2-way, and THP Series 3-way feature the patented Fail Dry safety vent.
• NEMA 4X coils -- with DIN connector -- available as standard on every valve.
• Z-COOL energy-saving, lighted connector available -- standard on W24 Coil.
• Many types of AC and DC coils available for most valves.
• Bodies are machined or molded from top quality brand plastics, including Geon® PVC, Corzan® CPVC, Kynar®
PVDF, PTFE, Glass-Filled Polypro, and Natural, unpigmented Polypropylene.
• PTFE bellows designs prevent fugitive emissions.
• Seals standard in FKM and EPDM; optional materials such as Buna nitrile and Kalrez® readily available.
Seal material on PTFE bellows design is a specially-treated FKM, so that one valve can handle virtually all
liquids.
• Most direct-acting valves rated for full vacuum through pressure.
• Popular models, sizes and materials ship from stock.
• As your assurance of quality, each valve is individually tested under pressure by a Plast-O-Matic inspector prior
to shipment.
• True Blue Valves are Cost Efficient
When comparing valves, it is important to consider both the operating life, and how easily/costly it is to service the valve. Below is a lifetime cost comparison chart, pitting the Plast-O-Matic True Blue® Series PS against a well known competitive brand...
