Brass Solenoid Valve 1/2 in
The Dayton 1A577 is a two-way, normally closed brass valve body designed for drain and trap installations. It accepts a 1/2 inch pipe connection and operates without a coil, allowing the installer to select a compatible actuator for the specific voltage and control scheme required.
Flow Capacity and Pressure Limits
The valve offers a Cv of 3.6 through a 5/8 inch orifice, suitable for moderate water or air/inert gas flow in drainage systems. It requires a minimum 5 psi pressure differential to open and handles up to 150 psi for both fluids, with a maximum fluid temperature of 180 Degrees F.
Brass Body and Mounting Implications
The brass construction provides corrosion resistance for indoor and outdoor environments, while the 1/2 inch nominal pipe size fits standard plumbing threads. As a less-coil body, it demands a separate solenoid coil purchase and wiring, so buyers needing a complete ready-to-install unit must source the coil separately.

Questions about this item
Will this 1/2 in brass valve thread onto my existing 1/2 in copper piping without adapters?
The valve body uses a 1/2 in nominal pipe size thread, so it matches standard 1/2 in NPT fittings; no adapter is required for like-sized copper or steel pipe.
How can I verify the coil is actuating the plunger once the valve is installed and pressurised?
Apply the rated coil voltage and listen for a distinct click; then confirm flow by opening a downstream tap — water should pass at the 3.6 Cv rate when energised and stop cleanly when power is removed.
Does the box include a coil, connector or mounting hardware, or must I order them separately?
The listing specifies the valve body only; a compatible coil, electrical connector and any brackets must be purchased separately.
