3/8 & 1/2 Inch Brass Direct Acting Solenoid Valve – Sunwell EP Series

The Sunwell EP Series is a compact 3/8 inch and 1/2 inch brass direct acting solenoid valve designed for reliable automatic control of air, water, vacuum, light oils and compatible gases. Unlike pressure-assisted valves, the direct acting plunger design provides dependable operation from zero pressure, making it suitable for vacuum and low-pressure applications.

Available in EPA (higher pressure) and EPB (higher flow) versions, the EP Series allows engineers to select either improved pressure capability or increased flow performance whilst retaining the same compact valve body. The forged brass construction, stainless steel internal components and optional FKM or EPDM seals provide excellent reliability across a wide range of industrial applications.

Supplied with Class H IP65 continuous duty coils, the EP Series is ideal for industrial automation, vacuum systems, OEM equipment and general process control. An optional ATEX certified coil is available for hazardous area installations.
