Description
3" Normally Closed Brass Solenoid Valve – CEME 8621
The CEME 8621-ESM-NBR is a 3" BSP normally closed brass solenoid valve designed for high-flow water, compressed air, light oils and other compatible neutral fluids.
This 2/2 way normally closed, pressure-assisted diaphragm valve remains closed when electrical power is removed and opens when energised. With its large 75mm orifice, conventional Kv flow factor of 83 m³/h and operating pressure up to 10 Bar, the 8621 provides exceptional flow capacity for large industrial water and fluid-control systems.
Valve Function & Operation
Function: 2/2 Way Normally Closed
Fail Position: Closed
Energised Position: Open
Operation: Pressure Assisted Diaphragm
Port Size: 3" BSP Female
Orifice: 75mm
Operating Pressure: Up To 10 Bar
Kv Flow Factor: 83 m³/h
The large diaphragm and 75mm flow path make the 8621 particularly suitable for applications requiring very high flow through 3" pipework.
3" BSP Connection & High Flow
Port: 3" BSP Female
Orifice: 75mm
Kv Flow Factor: 83 m³/h
The 3" model provides the highest flow capacity within the standard BSP Type 86 range, making it particularly suitable for large cooling-water circuits, process-water systems, industrial plant and other high-flow installations.
Adjustable Opening Characteristics
The 8621-ESM-NBR can be configured with interchangeable pilot jets to alter the valve opening characteristics.
Available Pilot Jets:
✓ 1.0mm Pilot Jet
✓ 0.8mm Pilot Jet
✓ 0.6mm Pilot Jet
✓ 0.4mm Pilot Jet
Selecting a smaller pilot jet provides a more controlled opening response, helping reduce sudden pressure changes in large-bore pipework systems.
This can be particularly useful where hydraulic shock or water hammer is a concern.
Brass & NBR Construction
Body Material: Brass
Internal Components: Stainless Steel
Seal Material: NBR
Diaphragm: NBR
The robust brass body and replaceable diaphragm construction are designed for demanding industrial fluid-control applications.
The Type 86 construction also provides replaceable coil, tube guide, plunger, spring and diaphragm components for servicing and maintenance.

Why Choose the CEME 8621?
The CEME 8621 is the largest and highest-flow BSP model within the Type 86 normally closed range, designed for demanding 3" pipework installations requiring fail-closed operation.
Its substantial 75mm orifice and Kv 83 m³/h provide exceptional flow capacity, while the normally closed configuration automatically shuts off flow when electrical power is removed.
Interchangeable pilot jets provide an additional advantage in large water systems by allowing the opening characteristics to be tailored to the installation, helping reduce hydraulic shock and water hammer.
The combination of brass construction, NBR sealing, continuous-duty coil and serviceable diaphragm design makes the 8621 particularly suitable for demanding industrial water and fluid-control applications.
