When the voltage is disconnected, the valve plate (2) is pressed down against the pilot orice (3) by the armature
spring (4). The pressure across the diaphragm (6) is built up via the equalizing orice (5). The diaphragm/piston
closes the main orice (7) as soon as the pressure across the diaphragm/piston is equivalent to the inlet pressure.
The valve will be closed for as long as the voltage to the coil is disconnected.
Coil voltage connected (open)
When voltage is applied to the coil (1), the pilot orice (3) is opened. As the pilot orice is larger than the equalizing
orice (5), the pressure across the diaphragm (6) drops and therefore it is lifted clear of the main orice (7). The valve
is now open for unimpeded ow and will be open for as long as the minimum dierential pressure across the valve
is maintained, and for as long as there is voltage to the coil.
It is recommended to use a lter in front of the valve. Recommended lter 50 mesh (297 microns).

In water applications, exercise the valves at least once every 24 hours, meaning change the state of the valve. The
valve exercise will minimize the risk of the valve sticking due to calcium carbonate, zinc or iron oxide build-up.
Figure 2: Exercise: Valve on/o
To minimize scaling, and corrosion attack it is recommended that the water passing the valve have the following
values:
• Hardness 6-18 °dH to avoid scaling (chalk / lime stone build up).
• Conductivity 50 – 800 µS/cm to avoid brass dezincication and corrosion.
• Above 25°C media temperature avoid stagnant water inside the valve to avoid dezincication and corrosion
attack.
