Diaphragm solenoid valves are available for 3/8, 1/2 and 3/4” pipes, have orifices from 9/16-3/4” are constructed of brass, have Buna N seals and stainless steel seats. When not 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.

Normally Open High Pressure Valves
DEMA offers 2 high pressure valves, the 0453P, and O453S. Both are designed for pressures from 10 psi up to 1000 psi, have brass bodies, and Teflon seals, designed for 3/8” pipes and have 11/32” orifices. The only difference is the 0453S features a stainless steel piston. The high pressure valves 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.
Normally Open Mini Diaphragm Solenoid Valves
DEMA’s mini diaphragm solenoid valves are ideal for weep systems. They are available for 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2” pipes, have orifices from 1/4 or 3/8” and are constructed of brass, Celcon, polypropylene or stainless steel. When not 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.
