Dayton

Dayton 3A432 Solenoid Valve Body 1/4 in Stainless Steel Normally Closed

SKU CH-6MS1-9YH26 MPN 3A432

A normally closed 2-way stainless steel solenoid valve body with a 1/4 in orifice, 0.7 Cv and 20 psi maximum pressure for air, gas or water up to 180 °F

  • TypeDrain Components
  • Stainless steel body resists corrosion in harsh environments
  • Normally closed design stops flow until energised for safety
  • 7 Cv rating suits low-flow control applications
  • Handles air, water or inert gas up to 20 psi
  • Operates reliably at fluid temperatures up to 180 °F

Valve Body for 1/4 in Lines

The Dayton 3A432 is a two-way, two-position solenoid valve body made from stainless steel. It is normally closed and built for 1/4 inch nominal pipe size with a matching 1/4 inch orifice. The body handles corrosive fluids indoors or outdoors.

Pressure and Temperature Limits

This body operates from 0 psi up to a maximum differential of 20 psi for air, inert gas or water. Fluid temperature must not exceed 180 degrees F. The flow coefficient is 0.7 Cv, so flow rate is fixed by these pressure and orifice constraints.

Replaces Worn or Incompatible Bodies

Use this body when an existing 1/4 inch stainless valve body has corroded, leaked or failed to close reliably. It fits the same pipe size and orifice but requires a separate coil to actuate. Not for systems that need higher pressure differentials, larger flow coefficients or different pipe sizes.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 1/4 in orifice or a different size for my flow needs?

This body has a fixed 1/4 in orifice and a Cv of .7, so select it when those figures match your required flow rate.

What does the 0.7 Cv mean once the valve is installed in my line?

A Cv of .7 indicates the valve will pass 0.7 US gallons per minute of water with a 1 psi pressure drop across the body.

How does the 1/4 in NPT connection limit the pressure I can run?

The stainless body is rated for a maximum operating pressure differential of 20 psi for air, inert gas, or water service.
