Brass, stainless, or plastic: which solenoid valve do you need? 🤔
🔩 Brass → hot water, air, gas, diesel fuel & weak acids. Not for highly corrosive fluids, salt air, or marine environments.
⚙️ Stainless steel → food & beverage, chemicals, drinking water.
🧪 Plastic → irrigation, water filtration, drinking water & hydroponics. Lower pressure & temperature ratings than brass or stainless.
🔧 Check the seal: brass valves use FKM (Viton®) seals; plastic valves use an EPDM diaphragm.
