Description Horton’s S45 type single solenoid valve combines versatility, reliability and affordability in a compact design that fits well in many applications. Available in several different voltages (12V AC, 24V AC/DC, 120V AC and 240V AC), the epoxy-encaps- ulated coil on this multi-purpose inlet water valve provides excellent dielectric properties, supporting an electromagnetic field while dissipating minimal energy in the form of heat. The S45 is a pilot-operated valve. This method of operation is based on using the inlet pressure’s servo effect to produce the necessary force to open the main orifice. The valve has ‘bleed’ orifices and one pilot orifice. When the coil is energized, the armature opens the pilot chamber and allows the line pressure to open the main orifice.

Correct operation depends on the inlet pressure being greater than the outlet pressure. The valve is designed to operate under pressures from 5-120 psi, and will yield flow rates from 1.5 to 6.0 gpm. The brass body (also available in GFN) meets current E.P.A. regulations with regard to lead content, and is designed to withstand a variety of adverse water conditions, in addition to fluid temperatures up to 140 degrees. The large diameter screen provides maximum filtration.

Applications The S45 type valve is exremely flexible in its applicability. It is typically used in vending, dispensing, commercial dishwashers, and car wash applications.
