Tameson has a large selection of 3-way solenoid valves. They have 3 ports and 2 switching states (open or closed) and are electromechanically controlled. With 3 ports and 2 switching states, the valve can be either NC (normally closed), NO (normally open), mixing, distributing or universal. NC is most common: the valve has 1 input, 1 output, and an exhaust port. The output connects to exhaust with no power, and with power the input is connected to the output moving the media. They can also be designed as normally open (power to close) or bi-stable (latching). It is important to first select the housing material of your valve to ensure it is suitable for the media that the valve will be controlling.
Additional selection criteria include (but is not limited to): connection size, voltage, seal material, function, operation, pressure, temperature, bore size, approvals, and more. View our solenoid valve technical article for a better understanding of these features or contact us with any questions.

Complete the questions to find suitable valves directly:
Solenoid Valves:
The valve is actuated with an electric current through the solenoid (electromagnet).
Switches directly.
From 1/8 inch up to 2 inch.
Normally Closed or Normally Open.
Only for clean media.
Uses energy as long as electrically energized.
(Semi-)direct operated: from 0 bar pressure differential.
Indirect operated: from ±0.5 bar pressure diff.
Only one direction of pressure.
Brass, Stainless Steel or Plastic housing.
EPDM, FKM, NBR of PTFE seals.
Electric Ball Valves:
The flow is controlled with a drilled sphere (ball) which rotates around its axis, perpendicular to
the bore.
The ball rotates with the help of an electric motor.
NC = Normally Closed (most chosen): The valve is closed when the coil is not
electrically
energized.
NO = Normally Open: The valve is open when the coil is not electrically energized.
Indirect operated solenoid valves need a pressure differential over the inlet and outlet port for
proper
operation. If the pressure differential is too low (f.e. a gravity fed system or a closed circuit),
only
(semi-)direct operated solenoid valves can be used. These operate from a zero bar pressure
differential.
The type of medium defines the material choice of the valve body and seals. By selecting 'Other',
you can
choose the material for the valve body and seals.
3-Way Solenoid Valve (orifice <3mm):For small flow rate, such as actuation of a
cylinder,
a
(small) fuel system, a test setup, etc. 3-Weg Electric Ball Valve (bore >8mm):For
larger
flow rates, such as central heating, irrigation, compressed air etc.
Choose the right circuit function. The upper diagram shows the flow when the coil is not powered.
The lower
diagram shows the flow when the coil is powered.

personExcellent Service. I was concerned with the delivery as the UK has left the EU at end of 2020 and I was expecting delivery issues. The company has got all their processes adapted and the delivery only took 3 days to arrive. So, the service was much better than I expected - so excellent service
