Description
1½" Normally Open Brass Solenoid Valve 0.5–10 Bar – SHAKO PU225AN-14
The SHAKO PU225AN-14 is a high-flow 1½" BSP normally open brass solenoid valve designed for automatic control of water, compressed air, light oils and compatible industrial fluids. Featuring a pressure-assisted diaphragm, large 38mm orifice and Kv flow factor of 367 L/min, this 2/2 way valve provides reliable fluid control across a differential pressure range of 0.5 to 10 bar.
Designed for fail-open operation, the PU225AN-14 remains open when de-energised and closes when electrical power is applied. This makes it particularly suitable for industrial cooling systems, process water circulation, compressed air distribution and installations where fluid flow must continue following an electrical power failure.
Manufactured by SHAKO, the valve combines a durable brass body, stainless steel internal components and a choice of diaphragm materials with reliable industrial solenoid operation.
Normally Open Valve Operation
The PU225AN-14 is a 2/2 way normally open solenoid valve operating through a pressure-assisted diaphragm mechanism.
Power OFF → Valve OPEN, allowing fluid flow.
Power ON → Valve CLOSED, stopping fluid flow.
Power Failure → Valve returns to its normally open condition, provided the required operating conditions are maintained.
The valve requires a minimum differential pressure of 0.5 bar for reliable operation. It is not suitable for zero-pressure or gravity-fed applications where sufficient differential pressure cannot be maintained.
Port Size & Flow Performance
The 1½" PU225AN-14 features a large 38mm internal orifice and Kv flow factor of 367 L/min, providing high flow capacity for industrial fluid control.

Construction & Materials
Body: Brass
Internal Components: Stainless Steel
Standard Diaphragm: NBR
Optional Diaphragms: EPDM, FKM (Viton®) and HNBR
The robust brass body provides dependable performance in industrial environments, while stainless steel internal components offer durability and corrosion resistance.
Alternative diaphragm materials are available to suit different compatible fluids and operating temperatures.
Seal Options & 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 temperature ranges depend on the selected seal material. The permissible operating temperature of the complete valve assembly must also account for the coil specification, media and installation conditions.
Suitable Media
