Solenoid Valve Operating Magnet: Manual Control Made Easy
Provide service engineers with a quick and cost-effective way to manually operate electrically controlled solenoid valves using SVOM Operating Magnet.
What Is a Solenoid Valve Operating Magnet?
Definition & Purpose
A Solenoid Valve Operating Magnet is a compact magnetic accessory designed to transform an electrically actuated solenoid valve into a manually operated device. It enables engineers to bypass the electrical coil and physically engage the valve—ideal for servicing, testing, or emergency override.
Key Benefits
Reliability: Consistent manual actuation ensures control even when power is unavailable.
Cost-saving: Eliminates need to disassemble systems for manual operation.
Safety & Convenience: Engineers can test, lock out, or isolate valve operation without rewiring.
Available Sizes and Custom Options
Standard Variants
Solenoid Valve World offers multiple standard diameters to suit a variety of valve designs:
10 mm White (1.5Kg pull/ 1500 Gauss total flux density)
15 mm Orange (1.5Kg pull/ 1500 Gauss total flux density)
18 mm Red (1.5Kg pull/ 1500 Gauss total flux density)
20 mm Blue (40Kg pull / 40000 Gauss total flux density with three N42 Neodymium super strength magnets)
24 mm Yellow (40Kg pull / 40000 Gauss total flux density with three N42 Neodymium super strength magnets)
Each is designed to physically mate with the valve stem for easy manual twist or push operation.

Custom Branding & Designs
Customers can request tailored versions with custom branding—ideal for retail, field kits, or OEM distribution. Minimum quantity applies, printed labelling 100pcs, bespoke colours / logo minimum 250pcs.
Why Use a Solenoid Valve Operating Magnet?
Reduce Downtime During Maintenance
Mechanical override capability allows valve testing and isolation without powering down the entire system.
Simplify Field Repairs
Engineers can manually open or close valves during troubleshooting—no tools or electrical intervention needed.
Add a Layer of Safety
Provides a physical method to lock valves in position, useful for system lockout/tag out procedures or emergency shutdowns.
Solenoid Valve Basics: How They Work
Electromechanical Overview
A solenoid valve uses an electromagnet to control the flow of liquids or gases. When energised, the coil pulls a plunger to open or close the valve—applicable in diverse systems like irrigation, HVAC, and industrial automation.
Valve Types
Direct-acting: Plunger moves directly under electromagnetic force; ideal for low-pressure systems.
Pilot-operated: Uses fluid pressure as the primary actuator; suitable for high-pressure flow control.
Core Components
Coil & solenoid subassembly: Generates the magnetic field.
Core and plunger: Movable internal parts to open or close a valve.
Spring mechanisms: Return valve to default (normally open/closed) positions.
Valve body materials vary—brass, stainless steel, or plastic, depending on the fluid type.
Choosing the Right Operating Magnet
Match Your Valve Size
Select the correct diameter (10–24 mm) to align with the valve’s stem or actuator.
Consider Valve Type & Pressure
For high-pressure or pilot-operated valves, ensure the magnet provides sufficient force; direct-acting valves typically require less torque.
FAQs
Can I use any size magnet on any valve?
No—magnet size must correspond to the valve stem diameter to ensure proper manual actuation.
Is it safe to operate valves manually without power?
Yes, if done carefully and only when the valve and system design support manual override. It’s designed for maintenance or emergency use—not continuous operation.
Can I have my logo printed?
Absolutely—Solenoid Valve World offers custom branding options for both corporate and retail purposes.
Conclusion
The Solenoid Valve Operating Magnet from Solenoid valve world offers a smart, economical, and reliable way to manually control solenoid valves across various industries. With multiple sizes and customisation options, it’s a must-have tool for engineers and service technicians looking to enhance maintenance procedures, safety protocols, and field service capabilities.
