For more than 75 years Atkomatic has been serving the fluid controls industry, manufacturing heavy-duty industrial solenoid valves. Atkomatic solenoid valves handle the “open & close” control of gases, water, oil, steam and other clean media. Likewise, they can withstand the rigors of more demanding applications including cryogenic fluids, high pressure or super-heated steam, corrosive chemicals and more.

Because of Atkomatic’s excellent reliability and durability, you will find 6000 Series Solenoid Valves in the hydraulic-stabilizing system on the “Crawler” that transports the Space Shuttle to the launching pad at Kennedy Space Center. 35000 Series valves can be found as the emergency shut-off valves on co-generation turbine systems to assist in preventing “overspeed.” 5000 Series valves are used by stunt professionals in Hollywood, using high-pressure air to flip cars and simulate explosions in water. 4000 Series solenoid valves are employed in boiler and steam systems in schools, municipal buildings, commercial and industrial facilities throughout the world.





Heavy-duty Process Solenoid Valves for Clean Air, Gases, Liquids, Steam, Corrosive Fluids & Cryogenic Fluids



General

• Solenoid valves to meet a wide variety of industrial

applications

• 2 position, 2-way valves (one 3-Way valve)

• Most are globe style valves with piston poppets

(some barstock direct lift)

• Gravity close, with spring and fl uid pressure assist

• Most are in-line mounted full ported using pipe

threads

• Many are available either normally open or normally

closed

• Built to handle all types of clean fl uid including

air, water, oil, steam, cryogenics, fuels, caustics,

refrigerants, and solvents

Performance Ranges

• Pressure: vacuum to 10,000 psi (690 bar)

• Fluid temperatures: −423° F (-253° C) to +500° F

(+260° C) [+750° F (+399° C) some models]

• Pipe sizes from 1⁄8˝ to 3˝ (Cv from 0.02 to 71)



Materials of Construction

• 316 stainless steel & naval bronze or brass

• Seat material selection:

Elastomer: Buna N, Viton®, EPR

Plastic: PTFE, PCTFE

Metal: stainless, brass

All plunger and magnetic stop materials are electroless

nickel-plated 416 or 430 stainless steels. Some AC

valves have shading rings made of silver or copper.

• Solenoids rated for continuous duty (operational

pressure values for normally open valves are based

on intermittent duty only)

• Class H and class B available

• Available with NEMA

Type 1 housing: standard

Type 4 housings: waterproof

Type 7 and 9 housings: explosion-proof for

hazardous locations
