Description
Horton’s S53 type single solenoid valve combines
versatility, reliability and affordability in a design that
fits well in many applications.

Available in several different voltages, the 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 S53 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 .15 to 4 gpm.

The polypropylene body is designed to withstand a
variety of adverse water conditions, in addition to fluid
temperatures up to 140 degrees. Each valve is equipped
with a screen to protect against debris.
Applications
The S53 type valve is extremely flexible in its applicability. In
addition to plumbing and heating equipment, this valve model
is used in domestic dishwashers and icemakers, as well as
commercial vending, dispensing and ice machines.
