Diaphragm solenoid valves are available for 3/8-1” pipes, have orifices from 9/16-3/4” are constructed of brass or stainless steel and have stainless steel seats. When energized, the plunger is pulled to the top plug, thus opening the small “pilot port” in the center of the diaphragm plate. This releases the pressure on top of the diaphragm allowing incoming pressure to lift it off the large center port. When de-energized, the solenoid plunger is pushed from the top plug by the kick-off spring and closes the pilot port. Fluid passes through the diaphragm bleed hole until pressure is equalized on both sides of the diaphragm to shut off the large port.

DEMA’s direct acting valves for corrosive liquids are constructed from PVC, EPDM seal, have a 5/32” orifice size and a CV flow factor of .27. DEMA offers 3 different models. The 481P direct acting diaphragm valve designed for vacuum lines with corrosive liquids. It is designed for 1/8” pipe but can also be injector mounted by using Kit 24-50. The 481-2 is designed to be injector mounted and has dual inlets. It can be mounted on all DEMA B and C series injectors. The 482-2 is also a direct acting diaphragm used on vacuum lines with corrosive liquids but is adjustable and designed for 1/4” pipe.

DEMA’s direct acting valves are available for 1/4” pipes with 7/64″ orifice, have brass or stainless steel bodies and Buna N, Viton or EPDM seals. With direct acting valves, the stem and plunger assembly opens the port of the valve directly and requires no minimum pressure to operate.

DEMA’s high pressure valves are designed for pressures from 10 psi up to 1200 psi, are available for 3/8-1” pipes, have orifices from 11/32-15/16” and are intended for use with water only. They operate the same as a pilot operated valve except the pilot port is in a separate chamber from the piston. This allows the plunger to operate closer to the top plug with more force and consequently higher opening pressure.

DEMA has multiple configurations of manifold valves to choose from.  The 464M is a mini diaphragm manifold valve from 3-5 stations designed for ½” inlets and 3/8” outlets in Stainless steel bodies with Viton or EPDM diaphragm seals. The 492 direct acting manifold valves are only ¼” NPT (not 1/8”) with 1/8” orifices. There are metering and non-metering versions of the 492.

Mini diaphragm solenoid valves are available for 1/4-1/2” pipes, have orifices from 1/4-3/8”, and are constructed of brass, Celcon, polypropylene, or stainless steel. Some carry NSF and UL listings to fit a wide variety of applications. When energized, the plunger is pulled to the top plug, thus opening the small “pilot port” in the center of the diaphragm plate. This releases the pressure on top of the diaphragm allowing incoming pressure to lift it off the large center port. When de-energized, the solenoid plunger is pushed from the top plug by the kick-off spring and closes the pilot port. Fluid passes through the diaphragm bleed hole until pressure is equalized on both sides of the diaphragm to shut off the large port.

DEMA’s pilot-piston valves are available for 3/8-1” pipes, have multiple orifice sizes from 9/32 to 3/4”, have brass bodies, stainless steel seats and Teflon seals. With pilot-piston valves, the stem and plunger assembly opens the port. This releases the pressure on top of the piston, which moves upward and opens the main valve port.

DEMA’s special purpose valves are “manifolding” diaphragm valves constructed of 30% glass filled nylon or PVC that can be joined to form a manifold without bushings or connectors. Applications for 466P, 481P, and 482.2 include: Water, air, light oil, noncorrosive and non-explosive liquids.  EPDM seal is standard, Viton is available on request.
