IP (Ingress Protection) Ratings for Solenoid Valves
What Are IP Ratings and Why They Matter
When choosing a solenoid valve for industrial or outdoor applications, understanding its IP (Ingress Protection) rating is crucial. IP ratings define the level of protection an electrical enclosure offers against the intrusion of solids (like dust) and liquids (like water). At Solenoid-Valve.World, we offer a wide range of solenoid valves designed with IP ratings suitable for harsh and demanding environments.
IP Rating System Explained
The IP rating consists of two digits:
The first digit (0–6) indicates protection against solids.
The second digit (0–9K) indicates protection against water and other liquids.
For example, a valve rated IP67 is dust-tight and can withstand temporary immersion in water.
Common IP Ratings for Solenoid Valves:
IP54 - Protected against access to hazardous parts and splashing water.
IP65 – Dust-tight and protected against water jets.
IP66 - Dust tight and protected against powerful water jets.
IP67 – Complete protection from dust and immersion in water up to 1 meter.
IP68 – Designed for continuous submersion under specific conditions.
IP69K – Resists high-pressure, high-temperature water jets, ideal for food and hygiene applications.
Choose the Right IP Rating for Your Application
Different environments require different levels of protection:
Industrial Automation: IP65
Wash down & Food Processing: IP66
Outdoor Installations: IP66–IP68
Dusty Environments: IP65 or higher
We help you match the correct IP-rated solenoid valve to your operating conditions, ensuring long-term performance and reliability.
