Installation and Operational Notes
- Solenoids may be installed as a complete unit using the hex flange at the base.
- For panel mounting, follow the correct assembly steps for either 3/4″ or 15/16″ bonnet construction.
- Standard solenoids are continuous duty and will become hot during prolonged energization.
- Always turn off power and depressurize the system before servicing the valve.
- Clean solenoid valves periodically to prevent sluggish operation or internal contamination.
