Solenoid Valves

• Forged brass body for durability and high-pressure applications
• Watertight electrical enclosure for outdoor use
• Slow-closing feature minimizes water-hammer on shut-off

All BAC solenoid valves are constructed of forged brass. The electrical enclosure is rated as watertight and submersible and meets NEMA 3 (rain tight), NEMA 4 (watertight) and NEMA 4X (watertight and corrosion-resistant) requirements. All valves, 3/8″ through 2″, have a built-in slow-closing feature, which minimizes potential water-hammer in the make-up piping. Opening and closing speeds range from two to ten seconds, depending on the size of the valve. The valves are rated to 150 psig (1,034 kPa) working pressure, with a minimum operating pressure differential of 5 psi (34 kPa).

BAC Tech Tip

The valve size is the minimum recommended size for a single-cell cooling tower of the rated tonnage. Multiple-cell cooling towers may require a larger size valve or multiple valves piped in parallel due to greater basin volumes.
