  • 1/4 in NPT fits standard piping without adapters
  • 56 Cv delivers consistent flow for air or water
  • Rated to 180 °F fluid temperature for hot-water service

Solenoid Valve Body for Fluid Control

The Dayton 4A693 is a stainless steel solenoid valve body designed for 2-way, 2-position fluid control in plumbing and industrial systems. It features a normally closed configuration with a 1/4 in nominal pipe size and a 3/16 in orifice diameter.

Verify Pressure and Temperature Limits Before

Confirm your system operates within a maximum fluid temperature of 180 degrees F and pressure differentials up to 60 psi for air, inert gas or water. The valve requires a minimum operating pressure differential of 0 psi and carries a Cv of 0.56 for flow calculations.

Suits Corrosive Indoor or Outdoor Environments

This valve body fits applications needing stainless steel construction rated for corrosive, indoor and outdoor use. It is not suited for systems exceeding the stated pressure or temperature limits or for configurations requiring a normally open starting position. Buyers needing an integrated coil must source that separately.

Questions about this item

Does the Dayton 4A693 valve body include the solenoid coil or must it be purchased separately?

The listing describes the item as a valve body less coil, so the solenoid coil is not included and must be sourced separately.

Which pressure rating should I use when selecting this 1/4 in stainless steel valve for air versus water lines?

Both air or inert gas and water share the same maximum operating pressure differential of 60 psi, with a minimum of 0 psi.

What flow capacity does the Cv of .56 give me in a typical 1/4 in piping system?

A Cv of .56 means the valve will pass 0.56 US gallons per minute of water with a 1 psi pressure drop across the 3/16 in orifice.
