Solenoid & Automation Valves sourcingAbout Solenoid & Automation Valves
Solenoid valves across 5,376 listed configurations — 2/2-way normally closed and normally open, 3/2-way, DN8 to DN50, with NBR, FKM, EPDM or PTFE seals. Compare options and submit an RFQ.
Solenoid valves are electrically operated valves in which a coil moves a plunger to open or close a small orifice, either directly or by piloting line pressure through a diaphragm. They are the standard interface between a control system and a fluid line: fast, compact, and switched by a simple electrical signal rather than a mechanical operator. Himalay lists solenoid valves in three functional configurations: 2/2-way normally closed, 2/2-way normally open, and 3/2-way for diverting or venting duty. The catalogue spans 5,376 configurations from DN8 to DN50, rated 1000 WOG. Actuation is direct-acting, where the coil moves the seat itself, or pilot-operated, where line pressure does the work and a minimum differential is required to hold the valve open. Direct-acting is listed only at DN8, DN10 and DN15; every listed configuration above DN15 is pilot-operated. Bodies are brass (CW617N), SS316 or SS304 machined from bar (A479), and aluminium (LM6/A413); internal parts use an SS430 core in an SS304 tube. Seal materials are NBR, FKM (Viton), EPDM and PTFE, selected against the medium. End connections are threaded across the range. Coils are listed in 230 V AC 50 Hz, 110 V AC 50/60 Hz, 24 V DC and 12 V DC, with enclosures rated IP65 standard, IP67 weatherproof, or flameproof Ex d IIC for hazardous areas. Design and coil-enclosure references follow EN 161 — the European standard for automatic shut-off valves on gas burners and gas appliances, covering inlet pressures to 500 kPa and sizes to DN 250 — with protection degree declared per IEC 60529. State the medium, line pressure and differential, coil voltage, enclosure rating and area classification in your enquiry.
