From neutral to contaminated fluids, the Type 330 direct acting solenoid valve with isolating diaphragm is unaffected by tough media. The two-way valve with epoxy encapsulated coil features a pivoted armature as the switching method. The process fluid is hermetically isolated from the actuator, providing resistance to contaminated or corrosive fluids and long service life even in dry-run conditions. It is available with a brass body for fluids or a stainless steel body and seat for corrosive and contaminated fluids.
