Description

3/4 Inch Bronze Steam Solenoid Valve – Queen MK20S


The Queen MK20S is a 3/4" BSPT 2/2 way normally closed bronze steam solenoid valve designed for reliable control of steam, hot oils, water, air and compatible gases. Featuring an assisted-lift (kick pilot) operating principle, the valve opens from zero pressure differential while providing dependable operation up to 10 Bar. Its larger 19 mm orifice delivers increased flow capacity, making it ideal for industrial steam distribution, heating systems, process equipment and demanding high-temperature fluid control applications.
