AGB direct acting solenoid valves have been developed over decades and because of this long history we can offer a wide variety of body configurations and materials of construction which can include brass, lead free brass, or AISI 316 stainless steel. Our ability to provide you with a solution that you may have not seen from other manufacturers is why AGB solenoid valves are different.  
 
Part Number:
Direct-acting electric solenoid valves are a type of solenoid valve in which the solenoid directly controls the movement of the valve's sealing element, a plunger, to open or close the flow path. These valves are known for their simplicity and quick response, making them suitable for various applications where rapid on/off control of fluid flow is required. Here are some key features and applications of direct-acting electric solenoid valves:
Key Features:
  1. Direct Control: In direct-acting valves, there is a direct mechanical linkage between the solenoid and the valve's sealing element. When the solenoid is energized, it lifts the plunger, allowing fluid to flow. When de-energized, the plunger returns to its closed position, blocking the flow.
  2. Quick Response: Direct-acting solenoid valves are known for their rapid response times. They can open and close quickly, making them suitable for applications where precise timing and control are necessary.
  3. Compact and Simple Design: These valves are often compact and have a relatively simple design, which makes them easy to install and maintain.
  4. Variety of Configurations: Direct-acting solenoid valves are available in various configurations, including 2-way (2/2) and 3-way (3/2) designs. 2-way valves control the flow of a single fluid path, while 3-way valves can switch between two different fluid paths.
Applications:
  1. Water and Irrigation
  2. Compressed Air
  3. Medical and Laboratory Equipment
  4. Automotive
  5. Industrial Automation
  6. HVAC
  7. Chemical Processing
  8. Food and Beverage
  9. Oil and Gas
  10. Environmental Control
Direct-acting electric solenoid valves offer a reliable and efficient means of fluid control in a wide range of applications. Proper selection of the valve based on factors like fluid compatibility, pressure, temperature, and flow rate is crucial to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
