Stainless steel 1/4 in 3-way solenoid valve body, normally closed

Dayton

Dayton 3A426 1/4 in 3-Way Solenoid Valve Body, Normally Closed, Stainless Steel, .09/.12 Cv, 160 psi

SKU CH-P0EX-JT8K6 MPN 3A426

Three-way stainless steel solenoid valve body, normally closed, 1/4 in port, .09/.12 Cv, rated to 160 psi and 180 °F

  • Product typeDrain Components
  • 3-way flow control for versatile pneumatic routing
  • Normally closed design prevents unintended media release
  • Stainless steel body resists corrosion in harsh environments
  • Dual Cv ratings .09 and .12 match precise flow needs
  • Rated to 160 psi for air, inert gas and water

Application Fit

The Dayton 3A426 is a three-way solenoid valve body built for controlling air, inert gas or water in corrosive indoor and outdoor environments. It suits engineers and maintenance teams who need a normally closed, stainless-steel body with a quarter-inch pipe connection.

Coil Selection Impact

This listing supplies the valve body only; the coil is sold separately and must be chosen for the required voltage and duty cycle. The installed coil determines the electrical interface, power draw and response time, so the body alone cannot operate until a compatible coil is fitted.

Pressure and Temperature Limits

The body handles a maximum operating pressure differential of 160 psi for both air and water, with a minimum of zero psi. Fluid temperature must not exceed 180 degrees Fahrenheit, and the orifice diameter of one-sixteenth inch yields flow coefficients of .09 and .12 Cv.

Questions about this item

What maintenance or replacement will the stainless-steel valve body need over time?

The stainless-steel body resists corrosion in indoor and outdoor environments, so the body itself has no scheduled replacement; only the separate coil may need eventual replacement.

What limit appears first when the valve runs continuously at the 160 psi rating?

The 180 °F maximum fluid temperature is the first limit reached under sustained high-pressure operation.

How much heat or noise does the valve produce during all-day operation?

The valve body itself generates no heat or noise; any warmth or sound comes from the coil you install, which is not included with this body.
