Description

Flanged 304 Stainless Steel Solenoid Control Valve – Z-Tide Industrial BFE-S Series

The Z-Tide Industrial BFE-S Series is a premium flanged 2/2 way normally closed stainless steel solenoid control valve designed for reliable control of water and compatible process fluids in large bore pipelines. Featuring an externally piloted pressure-assisted piston design with patented anti-water hammer technology, the BFE-S Series delivers exceptionally high flow rates while reducing hydraulic shock during valve operation. Manufactured from 304 stainless steel throughout the main valve body and internal components, these valves provide excellent corrosion resistance and long service life for industrial process systems, water treatment, cooling circuits and demanding fluid control applications.

Manufacturing quality

Manufactured using a heavy-duty 304 stainless steel body with stainless steel piston, seat and internal components, the Z-Tide Industrial BFE-S Series has been engineered for demanding industrial environments where corrosion resistance, reliability and high flow performance are essential. The patented cylindrical piston design and externally piloted control system provide exceptionally high flow capacity while significantly reducing water hammer during operation. The removable external pilot assembly allows straightforward servicing without removing the main valve body from the pipeline, reducing maintenance time and simplifying installation. With optional FKM, EPDM and FFKM sealing materials together with ATEX and high-pressure coil options, the BFE-S Series offers a highly versatile solution for industrial process control.
