Precision Operation: The 1/2" NPT port size ensures that this normally closed valve responds swiftly, opening and closing in less than 1 second. This precise operation, alongside a lifecycle of over a million cycles, provides reliability and efficiency for critical fluid control applications. Optimized for High-Temperature Applications: This valve is specifically designed for high-temperature use and is suitable for gasoline, diesel fuel, kerosene oil, natural gas, air, and similar fluids. Note: Not intended for use with drinking water or water-related applications. Duty Cycle Consideration: While built for strong performance, this 12V DC solenoid valve is not designed for continuous operation beyond 8 hours in a single cycle. For continuous duty requirements, motorized ball valves are recommended. Extended Service Life: Designed for long-term performance with a lifespan exceeding one million cycles, ensuring reliable operation when properly maintained. The seal delivers excellent chemical resistance and is rated for high-temperature environments. Durable Construction: Constructed from industrial-grade brass for enhanced durability and consistent performance.
