Large Orifice Solenoid Valves Now with Manual Override

Peter Paul Electronics Company now offers manual override for its full line of Series 80 Large Orifice Solenoid Valves. Manual override is a mechanical device to open Normally Closed (NC) valves or close Normally Open (NO) valves without power. Valves can be fully opened and closed while de-energized, either under pressure or not. Manual override is used to actuate valves during power failure or in an array without disturbing the electrical sequencing or piping to these valves. Standard Series 80 Large Orifice solenoid valves are already widely used in process industries for high flow rate or quick dump and fill capacity. Typical applications include: oil, gas, petrochemical, pharmaceutical & food processing, washing machines, air dryers, fuel oil & gas burners, pumps, irrigation, dishwashers, water treatment, compressors, etc. They are also suited for low pressure gas and liquid applications. Series 80 valves are offered with AC or DC power, in port sizes from 3/8” to 3” NPT, with pressure ratings from 0 to 200 PSI. Valve bodies are of forged brass or 316 stainless steel. Seals of BUNA, FKM, EPDM, Neoprene® and TEFLON® are available and compatible with most media. The entire range of valves with manual override is available in forged brass, while stainless steel bodies have the following port sizes: ½ (as direct lift type only), ¾, 1, 1½, 2” NPT. The manual override function is integral to the bodies of Series 80 valves and doesn’t affect their normal operation.
