TLX Technologies has revealed that its Supervised Direct-Acting Solenoid Valve has recently completed UL testing and is now a UL 429 and UL 429A Recognized Component.
This component is designed for clean agent, inert gas, CO2, and hybrid systems that rely on valve-integrated actuation.
Alternatively, the valve body can be configured for selector valve usage.
This solenoid valve features the same patented integrated supervision as TLX‘s family of linear electric actuators for fire suppression, meets NFPA 2001: Sec. 4.3.4.1 and EN 15004-1 supervision requirements, and eliminates the need for an additional supervisory component and electrical connection.
This solution is composed of a removable coil assembly and a threaded valve body.
The coil housing is made from electroless nickel-plated carbon steel, and the valve body can be made from either brass or stainless steel, depending on the requirements of the individual system.
In its standard configuration, the valve body contains a release valve and can be specified with either 1/8” or 1/4” NPT threads.
When configured for a selector valve, the valve body is modified to act as a simple coupler, and according to TLX, can be fully customized to fit the selector valve.
The coil assembly freely rotates for easy installation and features a captured fastener to prevent misplacement of the fastener when the coil is removed for testing and maintenance.
The fastener also ensures full placement of the coil on the valve body, designed to give technicians confidence that installation is complete.
