Normally open 2 way direct acting brass poppet type solenoid valve supplied without solenoid coil, typically used with air, water, steam and other neutral fluids compatible with construction.

Inlet: 1/8" BSP female
Outlet: Push-on for pipes Ø6x4
Orifice (mm): 1.5mm
Pressure range(bar): 0-10 bar
Seal type: NBR
Supplied without coil: requires Type 3 coil
Connector type: requires CNE small

The 230 series is an established range of in line normally open direct acting poppet type solenoid valves. This series features a stainless steel body and armature tube. The plunger, core and the return spring are also produced from stainless steel.

The armature seal and armature tube O-rings can be supplied in a choice of material; NBR (Buna, nitrile), EPDM or FPM.

The maximum allowable pressure for most media is 15 bar**, although the maximum pressure for steam is 2.5 bar (gauge pressure) as above this the temperature of the steam would exceed the maximum allowable temperature for the seals.

The standard orifice of 1.5 mm allows the valve to operate up to 15 bar**. Maximum operating pressure depends on the orifice size(larger orifice sizes reduce the maximum operating pressure), type of coil used and the use of AC or DC voltages.

Options (call Beta Valve sales office for details):

Mounting bracket
Version for use with oxygen
UL certified coils

ACL's type 3 coils are compatible with the 230 series of valve, these coils offer a choice of standard direct current and operating voltages from 12V to 48V (DC) and 380V (AC). These coils are designed for continuous duty (100%ED) at the rated maximum ambient temperature. .

ACL produce both class F and class H coils to fit the Series 230, these coils are continuously rated with ED=100%, when fitted with the Class F coils the ambient temperature range is: -10°C +55°C with class H coil the maximum ambient temperature is +80°C. These solenoid valves can be mounted in any position.

** Dependent on valve/coil combination chosen.
