GC Valves S212GF16K4DG1 Valve

The GC Valves S212GF16K4DG1 is a high-performance, 2-way normally open solenoid valve engineered for professional fluid control in demanding HVACR and industrial environments. This 1/2 inch NPT solenoid valve features a rugged forged brass body and is equipped with a high-grade Viton seal material (FKM), providing excellent chemical resistance and thermal stability for media including air, water, light oil, and neutral gases. Operating on a 24Vdc solenoid coil with Class F insulation, it ensures reliable actuation and a long service life under continuous duty cycles. As a piloted diaphragm valve, it utilizes a 1/2" orifice to deliver high flow rates (Cv 4.3) while maintaining precise shut-off capability. This industrial-grade 24V DC brass valve is a standard choice for contractors requiring a dependable, fail-open solution for irrigation, car wash systems, and general liquid processing where a powered-to-close configuration is critical for system safety or operational flow.

• Normally Open Operation: Ensures flow remains uninterrupted during power loss, serving as a critical fail-safe for cooling or supply lines.
• Viton Diaphragm Durability: The FKM/Viton seals offer superior resistance to aggressive media and temperatures up to 230°F compared to standard nitrile.
• Forged Brass Construction: Provides a robust pressure vessel capable of handling up to 100-150 PSI differentials in DC applications.
• NEMA 4X Protection: Includes a 1/2" conduit housing for protected electrical terminations in washdown or high-moisture environments.

What is the minimum pressure required for this valve to operate?
As a pilot-operated diaphragm valve, this unit requires a minimum pressure differential (typically 4-5 psi) to successfully lift the diaphragm and close the orifice when energized.

Can this valve be used for steam applications?
While the Viton seals handle high temperatures, for dedicated steam service, contractors usually recommend upgrading to a Class H coil and Teflon seals to prevent premature coil burnout and seal degradation.

Is the 24Vdc coil compatible with 24Vac systems?
No, this model is specifically wound for 24Vdc. Installing this on a 24Vac transformer will result in insufficient magnetic force or internal chattering, leading to valve failure.
