AGB 2 way normally open solenoid valves have unique features compared to other manufacturers of solenoid valves.
  1. High Flow Rates and Maximum Pressures: AGB normally open solenoid valves maintain high flow rates and maximum pressure capabilities, even in their normally open configuration. This means they can handle substantial fluid flow and pressure when open.
  2. Openable and Inspectable Design: 2 way solenoid valves are designed to be openable and inspectable, and can be disassembled and examined for maintenance, cleaning, or repairs without significant difficulty.
  3. Conversion Flexibility: One of the notable features of these normally open solenoid valves is their ability to be converted to a normally closed configuration. This flexibility allows you to adapt the valve to different operational requirements or scenarios.
The ability to convert a normally open solenoid valve to normally closed and vice versa can be advantageous in applications where you need the flexibility to change the valve's behavior without replacing the entire valve assembly. This can help reduce equipment costs and simplify inventory management, as you can stock one type of valve and adapt it as needed.

These features can be particularly useful in various industrial and fluid control applications where flow rates, pressure, and operational flexibility are critical considerations.
Part Number:

A 2-way normally open solenoid valve is a type of valve with two ports and is typically in an open state when not energized. When an electrical current is applied to the solenoid coil, it generates a magnetic field that moves a plunger or actuator, allowing fluid (liquid or gas) to flow through the valve. Here's what each component of the term "2-way normally open solenoid valve" means:

This indicates that the valve has two ports: one inlet and one outlet. These valves are commonly used for on/off control of fluid flow. When the valve is energized, it closes to block the flow of fluid.

Normally Open Solenoid Valves

The "normally open" designation means that the valve is open (allowing flow) in its default state when not energized. In other words, in the absence of an electrical signal to the solenoid coil, the valve is open, allowing the flow of fluid. It only closes when the solenoid is energized.


These 2-way normally open solenoid valves are used in various applications, including controlling the flow of liquids (e.g., water) or gases (e.g., air) in industrial, commercial, and residential systems. They are typically used in applications where it is desirable for the valve to be in the open position by default and only close when needed, such as safety systems, emergency shut offs, or automatic filling applications.

When selecting a 2-way normally open solenoid valve for a specific application, consider factors such as the type of fluid, pressure and temperature requirements, valve material compatibility with the fluid, flow rate, and the voltage and electrical specifications suitable for your system. Make sure to follow the guidelines for installation, operation, and maintenance to ensure the proper functioning of the solenoid valve.
