Not all solenoid valves are created equal

Not all solenoid valves are created equal. The solenoid valves manufactured by API Pneumatic UK are on another level. Our years of expertise, combined with our commitment to superior customer service, ensures that the solenoid valves engineered by our team at API are top of the range. In this blog, we take you through the different types of solenoid valves available from API Pneumatic UK, including the A1 series and A2 series solenoid valves.

A1 series solenoid valves

First up is our extensive A1 series of solenoid valves. This series of spool valves is available in a range of sizes to suit your specific application requirements, including 1/2”, 1/4” and 1/8” and are used for compressed filtered air, with or without lubrication. Our A1 solenoid valves are manufactured with static HNBR seals, high flow and are available with panel and sub base mounting options.

Is your industry hazardous? As solenoid valve manufacturers, we can also provide ATEX versions of the A1 series solenoid valve series to accommodate dangerous environments. We definitely have the solenoid valve for your application’s demands. Find the most suitable valve easily by specifying the series, actuation, size and function required by your application.

A2 series solenoid valves

As we’ve said, not all solenoid valves are created equal. The API A2 series of solenoid valves is no exception. These innovative spool valves, designed for multi-pole connection on an island sub-base, are again used for compressed filtered air, with or without lubrication. This specific type of solenoid valve is bursting with advantages, such as reduced dimensions, fast assembly, push manual override and high flow rates.

Directly operated solenoid valves

API’s solenoid valves extend further to directly operated poppet valves. This type of solenoid valve is available as both 15mm and 22mm 3/2 poppet valve versions. Our 15mm directly operated poppet valves are manufactured for single or manifold bases. Whereas, our 22mm directly operated poppet valves are designed for panel mounting.

At API, we are always looking to adapt our valves to your industry’s demands. Therefore, the 22mm poppet valve series is available with the option of low-temperature seals (-25°C) and FKM seals (150°C) for extreme temperature environments. These are used for compressed filtered air, with or without lubrication.

Indirectly operated solenoid valves for water and steam

Our indirectly operated solenoid valves for water and steam are for use with fluids and compressed air and are available with multiple seal options to suit your industry’s demands. The seal materials available are:

• NBR seals are for temperatures between -10 °C and 90 °C
• FKM seals are for temperatures between -10 °C and 130 °C
• EPDM seals are for temperatures above 140 °C

Find the most suitable size of API indirectly operated solenoid valves, ranging from 1/4” to 2”.

Specialist solenoid valves from API

As well as the multitude of options above, API also has an array of stainless steel solenoid valves, for use in highly corrosive applications. Another solenoid valve option available to you is our ISO 5599/1 range, ensuring flawless performance. API UK is the solenoid valve manufacturer with a solution for you.
