INTRODUCTION
The U.S. Solid 3 - way 2 - Position Pneumatic Electric Solenoid Valve routes air to pneumatic devices. It interfaces between electronics and pneumatic systems, controlling position, flow, pressure, and temperature.This 3/2 valve has three ports and two flow states. In the off state, one seal is open, the other closed; when energized, it reverses. Air can flow from port 1 to 2 or port 2 exhausts via port 3. Made of aluminum alloy.Pneumatic valves are used widely. Aircrafts use them for windshield anti - icing and rain removal. Food and beverage makers use them in production.U.S. Solid valves are reliable, low - power, long - lasting, and easy to install, maintain, and control with prewired connections.

Valve Attributes
Ingress - Protection Rating:
The valves have an ingress - protection rating of IP65. The first digit 6 indicates complete dust - tightness. The second digit 5 means protection against water jets from any direction. They are suitable for a variety of complex environments, effectively resisting the intrusion of dust and water to ensure reliable operation.
FAQ
1. What is the Waterproof Rating of this valve?
The valve and its solenoid coil assembly feature an IP65 ingress protection rating. This means the unit is completely dust-tight and protected against water jets from any direction. If permanently installed outdoors, we highly recommend housing the valve inside a protective enclosure or shelter to shield it from prolonged exposure to severe weather and UV degradation.
2. Can these solenoid valves be used continuously for extended periods?
These manual solenoid valves should not be actuated for more than 8 hours. The solenoid components are in a confined space and can overheat if actuated continuously for an extended time. If continuous operation is required, we suggest using a small cooling device, like a computer fan, to keep the solenoid area cool.
3.How long should you wait between two consecutive five-hour uses of our solenoid valve?
It is recommended to allow about 20 minutes of cooling time between two consecutive 5-hour operating sessions. The exact cooling time may vary depending on ambient temperature and operating conditions.
4.Can this be used for Drinking Water?
Absolutely not. This is a dedicated pneumatic valve engineered strictly for filtered, compressed air. Introducing water or other liquids will wash away the internal pneumatic lubricants, damage the seals, cause mechanical seizing, and present serious corrosion risks. For water or liquid applications, please explore our dedicated motorized ball valve or liquid solenoid valve series.
5.Can it be used outdoors?
While the solenoid valves have an IP65 rating, making them resistant to water spray, it is recommended to enclose the valve in a protective housing if permanently installed outdoors to ensure long-term durability.
