Sporlan 3518-00 Solenoid Valve

The Sporlan 3518-00 is a high-performance, Normally Closed (N/C) solenoid valve designed for liquid, suction, and discharge service in commercial refrigeration and air conditioning systems. As the direct updated replacement for the ME10S240-HP, this pilot-operated valve features 1/2" ODF Extended Solder connections, allowing technicians to braze the unit into the line without disassembly. Built with a rugged brass body and synthetic seating material, the 3518-00 ensures tight closing and positive shut-off even under high-pressure conditions.

This E10 Series solenoid valve is optimized for a wide range of refrigerants, including R-22, R-134a, R-404A, and R-410A. It utilizes the industry-standard MKC-2 coil (sold separately) and features a manual lift stem for system troubleshooting and manual override. With a 5/16" orifice and a high MOPD (Maximum Operating Pressure Differential) rating of 300 psi for AC, this valve provides reliable flow control and minimizes the risk of external leaks through the use of synthetic-coated metal gaskets.

• Extended Copper Connections: The 1/2" Sweat ODF ends permit brazing without internal disassembly, saving significant time during installation.
• Versatile Mounting: Designed to operate reliably whether mounted horizontally, on its side, or in a vertical line.
• Superior Sealing: Features synthetic seating for bubble-tight closing and enhanced longevity in high-cycle applications.
• Low Pressure Drop: Requires a minimum pressure differential of only 1 psi for full opening, making it ideal for suction line service.
• High Pressure Capability: Rated for a maximum working pressure of 500 psi, ensuring compatibility with modern high-pressure refrigerants.

• Is the coil included with the 3518-00? No, this is the valve body only. It requires a Sporlan MKC-2 or OMKC-2 solenoid coil for operation.
• Can I use this valve for R-410A systems? Yes, the 3518-00 (ME10S240-HP) is rated for high-pressure applications and is compatible with R-410A.
• Do I need to take the valve apart before brazing? No, the "E" series features extended ends specifically designed to dissipate heat, allowing for installation without removing internal components.
