Brass Steam Solenoid Valve 3/4 in

The Dayton 4A696 is a two-way brass solenoid valve body designed for steam service. It features a normally closed configuration with a 3/4 inch nominal pipe size and 3/4 inch orifice diameter. This component suits plumbing professionals and facility maintenance teams controlling steam flow in industrial or commercial systems.

Build Quality and Connectors

The brass body provides corrosion resistance for indoor or outdoor installations. Threaded 3/4 inch connections integrate with standard piping without special adapters. A minimum operating pressure differential of 5 psi is required to actuate the valve, so very low-pressure lines will not open it reliably. The coil is sold separately and must be selected for the correct voltage and steam temperature rating.

Flow and Pressure Limits

The valve offers a Cv of 5.5 and handles air, inert gas, or water up to 100 psi differential pressure. Fluid temperature must not exceed 250 degrees Fahrenheit, which covers typical saturated steam applications. California Proposition 65 warnings apply for cancer and reproductive harm. Buyers needing higher pressure ratings, larger pipe sizes, or an included coil should select a different model.

Questions about this item

What is the maximum operating pressure differential this 3/4 in valve handles for air or water?

The valve is rated for a maximum operating pressure differential of 100 psi for both air/inert gas and water applications.

What pipe thread size and body material does this solenoid valve body use?

It features a 3/4 in nominal pipe size with a brass body construction.

How is the coil installed on this less-coil valve body, and what orientation is required?

The coil threads onto the bonnet; it must be mounted vertically with the coil upright to ensure proper plunger operation.
