Brass Steam Solenoid Valve 3/8 in

The Dayton 4A694 is a two-way brass solenoid valve body designed for steam service in plumbing and industrial systems. It operates in a normally closed configuration and requires a separate coil to function. The valve body handles a 3/8 inch nominal pipe size with a 5/8 inch orifice diameter.

For steam systems needing a 3/8 in valve body

This valve suits installers who need a brass body for steam lines up to 250 degrees Fahrenheit and a Cv of 2.8. It is not for buyers who need a complete valve with a coil included, or those requiring a different pipe size or normally open operation.

3/8 in nominal pipe size with 5/8 in orifice

The 3/8 inch nominal pipe size and 5/8 inch orifice determine whether this body fits the piping and provides the required flow coefficient of 2.8 for the application. Operating pressure differential ranges from a minimum of 5 psi up to 100 psi for air, inert gas, or water.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the valve is operating correctly after installation?

Verify that the valve opens when the coil is energised and closes when power is removed, with steam flowing at the rated 2.8 Cv and system pressure between 5 and 100 psi.

What comes with the valve and what must I purchase separately?

The brass valve body with 3/8 in connections is included; a compatible solenoid coil is not supplied and must be bought separately.

Which pressure rating should I select for my steam system?

Choose this model when your steam pressure does not exceed 100 psi and fluid temperature stays at or below 250 Degrees F.
