10 Matters When Installing Water Solenoid Valve?

Solenoid valve type 0256

Figure 1: Solenoid Valve (Go to Okmarts and pick the solenoid valve you need.).



Solenoid valve is one of the commonly used valves in automatic control system. It is favored by users because of its low price, simple use, convenience and reliability. Of course, no matter how good it is, it must be installed properly to play its due role. Follow me to see the precautions for installing the solenoid valve.

1. The diameter of the solenoid valve in the pipeline of the main system should be less than the diameter of the solenoid valve in the pipeline.
2. Before installing the solenoid valve, please the pipeline. Install a filter in front of the valve and a steam trap in the steam pipeline.
3. When the solenoid valve fails, Please install the bypass device in order to isolate the solenoid valve in time and ensure the normal operation of the system.

4. The solenoid coil should be upward and maintained in a vertical position. The arrow or mark on the solenoid valve should be consistent with the flow direction of the pipeline. Don’t install it with splash or water leakage.
5. In case of insufficient pipeline rigidity, please fix the pipeline in front of the valve with a support to avoid vibration caused by the operation of the solenoid valve.

6. The working medium of the solenoid valve shall be clean and free of particulate impurities. The dirt on the surface of the internals of the solenoid valve and the filter shouldl be cleaned regularly.
7. Install a pressure gauge on the pipes of the solenoid valve to observe the pipe pressure.
8. Before installation, please pay attention to the product label, read the operation manual carefully and judge whether the product meets the service conditions.

9. Don’t use it in places with explosion risks.
10. Don’t install the valve in the low recess of the pipeline to avoid precipitation in the valve due to steam, condensate, impurities, etc
