Description

1/2" Normally Open Brass Solenoid Valve 0.5–15 Bar – SHAKO PU225AN


The SHAKO PU225AN is a high-flow 1/2" BSP normally open brass solenoid valve designed for reliable automatic control of water, compressed air, light oils and other compatible fluids. Featuring a pressure-assisted diaphragm, large 13mm orifice and Kv flow factor of 40 L/min, this 2/2 way valve provides efficient flow control across a differential pressure range of 0.5 to 15 bar.

Unlike a normally closed solenoid valve, the PU225AN remains open when electrical power is removed and closes when energised. This fail-open operation makes it particularly suitable for cooling water circuits, process equipment and industrial systems where continued flow is required during a power failure.

Manufactured by SHAKO with a durable brass body, stainless steel internal components and interchangeable seal options, the PU225AN combines dependable performance with a wide choice of electrical supply voltages.

Normally Open Operation

The PU225AN operates as a 2/2 way normally open solenoid valve using a pressure-assisted diaphragm mechanism.
Power OFF → Valve OPEN – Fluid flows through the valve.
Power ON → Valve CLOSED – Electrical power energises the solenoid and closes the valve.
Power Failure → Valve returns to its normally open position, provided the operating conditions allow correct diaphragm operation.
The pressure-assisted design requires a minimum differential pressure of 0.5 bar and is therefore unsuitable for gravity-fed or zero-pressure systems.

Pressure & Flow Performance

The PU225AN provides high flow capacity through a 13mm internal orifice, making it suitable for applications requiring dependable fluid control without excessive flow restriction.
  • Operating Pressure: 0.5 to 15 bar differential
  • Orifice Diameter: 13mm
  • Kv Flow Factor: 40 L/min
  • Valve Function: 2/2 way normally open
  • Operating Principle: Pressure-assisted diaphragm
  • Connection: 1/2" BSP female
  • Optional Connection: 1/2" NPT female
The large flow passage is particularly beneficial in cooling systems, industrial water distribution and compressed air installations.

Brass Construction & Seal Options

The SHAKO PU225AN features a robust brass valve body with stainless steel internal components for reliable industrial service.
  • Body Material: Brass
  • Internal Components: Stainless steel
  • Standard Diaphragm Seal: NBR
  • Optional Seals: EPDM, FKM (Viton®) and HNBR
Different seal materials are available to accommodate variations in media compatibility and operating temperature.

Seal Temperature Ranges

  • NBR: -15°C to +80°C
  • EPDM: -5°C to +130°C
  • FKM (Viton®): -10°C to +180°C
  • HNBR: -40°C to +150°C
These are seal-dependent temperature ranges. The maximum permitted temperature of the complete valve assembly may be lower, depending on the coil, operating conditions and selected configuration.

Suitable Media

The PU225AN is designed for controlling a range of compatible industrial fluids, including:
  • Compressed air
  • Water
  • Cooling water
  • Light oils
  • Neutral liquids
  • Compatible inert gases
Maximum recommended fluid viscosity is 50 cSt.
Media compatibility must be confirmed against the brass body, stainless steel internals and selected diaphragm material.

Solenoid Coil & Electrical Options

The standard PU225AN is fitted with a Nass Magnet solenoid coil designed for continuous industrial operation.
  • Coil Power: 15 Watts
  • Insulation Class: H
  • Duty Rating: 100% ED continuous
  • Electrical Connection: DIN 43650A Form A
  • Ingress Protection: IP65 with suitable connector correctly fitted

Available Voltages

DC: 12V, 24V, 48V, 110V and 220V DC.
AC: 12V, 24V, 36V, 48V, 110V, 230V and 380V AC, 50/60Hz.
Voltage availability depends on the selected coil configuration.

Optional ATEX / IECEx Solenoid Coil

For hazardous-area applications, the PU225AN can be supplied with an optional explosion-protected Nass Magnet solenoid operator.
The existing PTB-certified coil configuration includes:
  • Gas Protection: Ex mb IIC T4 Gb
  • Dust Protection: Ex mb tb IIIC T130°C Db
  • Gas Classification: ATEX Category 2G
  • Dust Classification: ATEX Category 2D
  • Suitable Areas: Zone 1 gas and Zone 21 dust
  • ATEX Certificate: PTB 03 ATEX 2086 X
  • IECEx Certificate: IECEx PTB 05.0005X
  • ATEX Directive: 2014/34/EU
The legacy PTB coil certification details apply only to the corresponding certified coil versions.
Replacement TÜV NORD-certified Nass Magnet coils are being introduced under updated manufacturer part numbers. Their applicable certificates and operating limits should be checked against the exact coil supplied.
Hazardous-area suitability must be assessed for the complete valve assembly and installation, not solely the solenoid coil.

Typical Applications

  • Industrial cooling water circuits
  • Fail-open water control systems
  • Compressed air installations
  • Industrial process automation
  • Water circulation equipment
  • General-purpose fluid control
  • OEM machinery
  • Pneumatic control systems
  • Equipment requiring flow on power loss
  • Hazardous-area installations with suitable certified components
