3 Way Solenoid Valve

From Motor City Wash Works, the 8VALVAIRSOL0002 is a 3 way air solenoid valve. From the 100 Series, the valve expertly controls flow and pressure to maximize performance. Normally, the valve is used on single foam dilution stations. It's an easy valve to position and install. In addition to its 1/4" ports and 120VAC compatibility, it comes with a DIN connector, 3' cord, and a manual locking mechanism that's simple to open and close.

How Do 3-Way Solenoid Valves Work?

A 3-way solenoid valve operates by using an electromagnetic coil to shift a plunger or spool within the valve body, directing compressed air between three distinct ports. When the solenoid is energized, the internal mechanism moves to connect or isolate specific ports, which facilitates either the supply or the exhaust of air in pneumatic systems. This functionality allows engineers and technicians to control actuators, cylinders, or other equipment with precision, as the valve can either pressurize, vent, or block different pathways as needed. Moreover, the design of a 3-way air solenoid valve supports both normally open and normally closed configurations, providing versatility for a range of industrial applications such as single foam dilution stations. Consequently, users benefit from enhanced control, efficient switching, and reduced system complexity, all of which are critical for optimizing the performance of pneumatic systems.
