U.S. Solid 1" 12V DC Stainless Steel Electric Solenoid Valve N.C. Air Water Fuel VITON

I bought 2 other brands and they both leaked. This one is working great!

I ended up returning this as it wasn’t actually what I needed to solve my problem, but nevertheless, it seemed to be a good quality product and I would purchase again if needed.

Works as advertised. Saved me a bundle not having to buy OEM for my RV refrigerator.

Definitely a heavy duty solenoid probably far stronger than my need but it fits perfectly at a good price I gave it 4 stars the only thing I didn’t care for and not a big deal at all is the top nut if it comes loose you can turn the solenoid wires and possibly pull or break them so don’t do that but I gotta say this thing really works awesome and looks super clean everything about this solenoid is quality

Works

I originally posted the negative review below, and almost immediately after posting it, the owner of the company not only issued me a credit, but he sent me an email acknowledging they had a manufacturing problem. He also offered to send me out an immediate replacement, and asked that I call him personally. So, I called, and he answered - on a Sunday. As background, I bought this solenoid over a year ago, but had not installed it until last weekend, so I had exceeded the warranty period and they were under no requirement to address my concerns. I was very impressed that he admitted they had a manufacturing/supplier problem and they were replacing the units. He explained that some people do not understand these types of valves are not intended to be energized (i.e. be kept in the on/open position) for an extended period of time. The valve is opened via an electromagnet which by their very nature will generate some heat over time. That is both entirely reasonable and in line with the additional research I had done. This was also in line with my particular need (to open a low-pressure LPG line in a boat/RV when cooking, and automatically shut off the supply when the switch is turned off). I also determined this is consistent with other solenoids. He went on to explain that there are better solutions for valves that need to be kept open for extended periods. I put in the replacement, and am happy to report that while the solenoid gets warm, it is much cooler than the first one, and the draw went from 2 amps on the first unit to about 1.2 amps on the replacement. As sailors, we are always concerned about battery draw as we sail for many hours without running the engine, so unnecessarily drawing down our battery bank is not something we want to do unnecessarily. In short, I am extremely impressed by someone who cares enough about their business to fix a problem even after the warranty period expires - and to be honest when a manufacturing or supply problem is discovered. I will now go out of my way to buy from US Solid in the future. ORIGINAL REVIEW: I bought this valve as I had to repair the system on my boat about a year ago. I finally got around to replacing my old solenoid which was quite rusty, but still worked. Upon hooking this up, it ran WAY hot, measuring over 180 degrees on the outside. Now I have to replace it immediately after putting it on. I see they no longer sell this unit.

I used this for my auxiliary diesel tank in my pickup. Worked good for the first week, then it leaks and never shuts off. It leaks 1/4 tank of fuel overnight (about 8 gallons)...almost overfilled my main tank! So I took it off to inspect it for something stuck in the valve & found nothing...it is just leaking through the valve, not seating/sealing. After my long trip, it's past the return date, so this thing is useless, this valve is a waste of money & time....NEVER AGAIN!!!!

For what it is, it's a five star valve. I have used several of these US solid solenoid valves over the years and have never had any issues. I needed an automatic drain valve for my air compressor and finding the ones online were extremely expensive so I decided to put my own together. I use this valve for that purpose along with a 12-volt DC power supply and a timer. The only thing to note is the operating pressure of this particular valve is 120 psi give or take. I have it on a tank that has a maximum pressure of 175 so it does leak by a bit. So I'm looking for another solenoid valve that will handle 200 PSI.

オイルリフターで先止め方式で制御してます。古い電源アダプターで市販のタイマーを噛ませて使ってます。安くて十分。

I used this valve in my LG Top load washing machine. Because the original valve in washing machine is very small and filling took much time. Total washing time is about 2.5 hours. After fitting this solenoid valve, water fills in two minutes and the washing is completed just in 45 minutes. Zero leakage. Best quality. Sturdy.

Work good for my app

Bra kvalitet

per ora funziona egregiamente!
