Parker 72218BN5VN00 Valve

The Parker 72218BN5VN00 is a high-performance 2-way normally closed solenoid valve engineered for direct lift operation in HVACR and fluid control systems. Designed with a 3/4" NPT connection and a brass body, this valve provides reliable flow control even at zero differential pressure (0 PSI minimum), making it ideal for low-pressure or gravity-fed circuits. The NBR (Nitrile) seal ensures wide fluid compatibility, particularly with neutral gases, water, and light oils, while maintaining a tight shut-off up to 100 PSI. This model is technically identical to the 72218BN5VN00N0 variant, facilitating seamless integration for field replacements. For technicians managing industrial automation or process cooling, the DirectLift design eliminates the need for external pressure for actuation, ensuring consistent performance across varying system demands. Each unit is built to withstand the rigors of continuous duty solenoid valve applications in demanding commercial environments.

• Universal Compatibility: Standard 3/4" NPT threading and NBR elastomers allow for versatile installation in diverse liquid and gas control systems.
• Zero PSI Operation: The direct-lift mechanism eliminates the requirement for a minimum pressure differential, ensuring the valve opens reliably in low-head applications.
• Durable Construction: Heavy-duty brass body provides superior corrosion resistance and longevity in HVACR valve replacement scenarios.
• Drop-in Equivalent: Fully compatible with the 72218BN5VN00N0 specification, reducing downtime during component sourcing and installation.

Can this solenoid valve be mounted in any orientation?
While the Parker 72218BN5VN00 is versatile, it is highly recommended to install it with the solenoid coil in a vertical upright position to prevent sediment build-up and ensure optimal plunger longevity.

Is this valve suitable for high-temperature steam applications?
No, this specific model utilizes NBR seals. For steam or high-temperature media, a valve with EPDM or Viton seals should be utilized to maintain chemical and thermal integrity.

What is the flow coefficient (Cv) for this 3/4" valve?
The 3/4" solenoid valve is engineered to balance flow capacity and pressure drop, providing the necessary throughput for standard commercial fluid processing and HVAC cooling loops.
