Mechanical - Latch type is equipped with a manual reset lever to enable local Reset (De-Latch) to return it to normal position, while the coil is de-energized. Mechanical-Latch solenoid valve (Electrically tripped), is activated to release the control pressure by means of an electrical pulse to the coil, when the solenoid actuator is de-energized, the solenoid valve will remain latched in the release position. The Magna-Latch Solenoid valve is typically used to enable safe remote control of the BERMAD Deluge valve and other water control valves, by latching the valve in its open position for safe discharge of firewater. To Reset the system, an electrical pulse should be applied to the De-latch coil, creating a counter-force which overcomes the magnet and allows the actuator to return to its normal position. It is activated to release the control pressure by means of a short electrical impulse signal to the “Pull” coil, the solenoid actuator is then latched in the energized position by a permanent Holding Magnet. Magna-Latch solenoid valve consists of two coils that are incorporated in one enclosure. The valve can control the water entering the device.The Latching solenoid valves are normally de-energized and are activated to operate the BERMAD valve by an electrical pulse, latching it in the release position. They can even be found in domestic appliances within the home, such as dishwashers or washing machines. Solenoid valves can be used with fluid power pneumatic and hydraulic systems to control larger industrial valves, fluid power motors or cylinders.

Solenoid valves are versatile and can be used to distribute fluids, mix fluids, shut off fluids or release them. You can learn more in our comprehensive solenoid valves guide. They are normally constructed from robust materials such as stainless steel, aluminium, brass or plastic. Solenoid valves are most commonly found in fluidics, fluid power pneumatic and hydraulic systems. With automatic operation, solenoid valves are incredibly useful to engineers as they remove the need to manually operate valves. Solenoid valves are electromechanically operated valves and are used to control the rate of flow in fluid or air powered systems and are quite often just referred to as just 'solenoids'.
