Solenoid valve LF L5128502

A solenoid valve controls the flow of liquids or gases through a hose line without manual intervention. When an electrical current passes through the coil, it creates a magnetic field that lifts a plunger inside the valve body. This opens the orifice, allowing fluid to pass. When the current stops, a spring returns the plunger to its closed position, stopping the flow. The method is fast, repeatable and eliminates the need for an operator to stand at the tap or pump, making it essential for automated beverage dispensing, cleaning circuits and steam lines in professional kitchens. To use the valve, connect the inlet and outlet ports to the hose line with compatible fittings. Wire the coil to a 230 V supply and link it to a switch, timer or control system. When the circuit is energised, the valve opens; when de-energised, it closes. The operator sets the timing or triggering condition once and the valve repeats the cycle without further attention. The valve is constructed as a Parker-type unit, designed for inline installation in flexible hose systems. The coil draws 3 W, placing minimal load on the electrical circuit while maintaining sufficient force to move the plunger against fluid pressure. A 230 V rating matches the standard single-phase supply found in British commercial kitchens, so the valve plugs into existing circuits without requiring a transformer or dedicated line. Stainless-steel internals and a PTFE seal let the valve withstand daily scrubbing with caustic kitchen detergents without corroding or swelling. The valve body and plunger are sealed units; no disassembly is required. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to remove dust or splashes. Avoid solvents that could degrade the coil insulation or the hose connections. Check the hose clamps periodically to ensure a tight seal and prevent leaks at the inlet or outlet ports. The catalogue places this solenoid valve in the fluid control section, alongside taps, pumps and hose fittings for beverage dispensing and cleaning systems.
