Parker 70712 Valve
The Parker 70712 is a professional-grade 3/4" NPT solenoid valve designed for high-performance fluid control in commercial and industrial HVACR systems. As a GP600 series general-purpose valve, it features a normally closed (N/C) configuration and is engineered to handle non-corrosive media including air, water, and light oils. With a 7.4 Cv flow coefficient and a maximum operating pressure differential (150 PSI MOPD), this pilot-operated valve ensures bubble-tight shut-off and reliable cycling even in demanding hydronic or pneumatic applications. The forged brass body is paired with a durable Buna-N diaphragm and a stainless steel plunger, making it a staple for contractors maintaining car washes, commercial dishwashers, and low-vacuum systems.
Key Benefits for Technicians:- Broad Media Compatibility: Optimized for air, water up to 180°F, and light oils below 300 SUS.
- High Flow Efficiency: The 7.4 Cv rating minimizes pressure drop across the 3/4" orifice for maximum system throughput.
- Rugged Construction: Built with a forged brass body and FKM pilot seat for long-term resilience against wear.
- Standardized Installation: Utilizes 3/4" FNPT connections for straightforward integration into existing piping runs.
- Is the solenoid coil included? No, the Parker 70712 is sold as the valve body only. It requires a compatible Parker G23 series coil (sold separately) for electrical operation.
- Can this be used for steam applications? While rated for hot water, always verify fluid temperature; the maximum fluid rating for this specific GP600 model is 225°F.
- What is the minimum operating pressure? As a pilot-operated solenoid valve, it typically requires a 1 PSI differential to open and stay open reliably.
