Magnatrol Solenoid Valves F31L34SC-ACTO Valve

The Magnatrol Solenoid Valve F31L34SC-ACTO is a rugged, 1-inch normally closed solenoid valve specifically engineered for high-performance fluid control in industrial HVACR and process applications. Built with a cast bronze globe pattern body, this Type L full port valve is optimized for handling oil and light liquids up to #3 with a maximum differential pressure of 200 PSI. This model is technically identical to the Magnatrol F31L34-0, ensuring seamless integration into existing systems requiring 120V AC 60Hz power.

This internal pilot operated valve utilizes a Teflon (PTFE) disc for superior thermal stability and chemical resistance, making it ideal for fuel oil systems and high-temperature applications up to 400°F. The explosion-proof (XPRF) solenoid enclosure meets NEMA standards for hazardous locations, providing critical safety for volatile environments. Designed for efficiency, the Magnatrol 1-inch valve requires no minimum differential pressure to operate and must be installed in a horizontal pipe run with the solenoid in a vertical, upright position to ensure reliable piston movement and long-term reliability.

Key Benefits

• High Pressure Rating: Rated for up to 200 PSI for oil and light liquids, accommodating demanding industrial fluid loops.
• Hazardous Location Ready: Features an explosion-proof solenoid enclosure (XPRF) for safe operation in volatile environments.
• Superior Seal Integrity: Equipped with a Teflon disc (PTFE) to resist degradation from high temperatures and aggressive fluids.
• Full Port Design: The 1-inch NPT screwed connection and full port orifice minimize pressure drop and maximize flow capacity (Cv).
• Continuous Duty Coil: The 120V encapsulated coil is built for continuous energization without overheating.

Common Questions

Can the Magnatrol F31L34SC-ACTO be used for steam applications?
While this Type L valve handles hot liquids up to 400°F, it is specifically configured for oil. For dedicated high-pressure steam service, a Type S solenoid valve is typically recommended to ensure compatibility with steam-specific expansion rates.

Is a minimum pressure differential required for this valve to open?
No, this Magnatrol solenoid valve is designed to operate from zero to its maximum rated differential pressure (200 PSI), allowing for reliable opening even in low-gravity or low-pressure systems.

What is the proper mounting orientation for this model?
For optimal performance and to prevent piston binding, the valve must be installed in a horizontal line with the solenoid enclosure positioned vertically on top.
