SKINNER VALVES 72218BN5VES0 Valve

The SKINNER VALVES 72218BN5VES0 is a high-performance 2-way normally closed solenoid valve specifically engineered for high-demand steam and hot water control. Built with a rugged brass body and featuring a 3/4" NPT port, this direct lift solenoid valve utilizes a 5.0 Cv flow factor to manage industrial-grade media flow. Designed for the Parker Skinner 7000 Series, it is the primary choice for contractors maintaining laundry equipment, hospital sterilizers, and institutional cooking systems.

This valve is constructed with a direct lift brass pressure vessel and integral stainless steel main and pilot orifices to prevent premature wear in high-temperature environments. With an EPDM seal and a Class F coil (upgradable to Class H for media exceeding 297°F), the 72218BN5VES0 provides consistent MOPD up to 50 PSI for steam and 150 PSI for hot water. To ensure optimal mechanical life and consistent pilot operation, the assembly should be mounted in a vertical, upright installation.

Key Benefits for HVACR Technicians

• Zero Differential Operation: The direct lift design allows the valve to function reliably even at 0 PSI, essential for gravity-feed steam systems.
• Industrial Durability: Features stainless steel internal components that resist the corrosive effects of treated steam and hot water media.
• High Thermal Tolerance: Rated for a maximum media temperature of 210°F with standard seals, supporting commercial steam tables and autoclaves.
• Certified Reliability: Standardized with UL Listed and CSA Certified components for compliance in critical commercial facilities.

Common Questions

What is the maximum steam pressure rating for this valve?
The SKINNER VALVES 72218BN5VES0 is rated for a Maximum Operating Pressure Differential (MOPD) of 50 PSI when utilized in steam service and up to 150 PSI for hot water applications.

Can this valve be mounted horizontally?
While some valves offer flexibility, it is professionally recommended to install this direct lift valve in a vertical and upright position to prevent sediment build-up and ensure proper plunger return.

Is this valve suitable for high-flow commercial laundry?
Yes, the 3/4" orifice and 5.0 Cv rating provide the high flow capacity required for industrial dishwashers and commercial laundry extraction systems.
