120V SOLENOID VALVE

Valves are widely used in different restaurant equipment designs. A valve is a device that regulates, directs or controls the flow of a fluid (gases, steam, liquids, fluidized solids, or slurries) by opening, closing, or partially obstructing various passageways. In an open valve, fluid flows in a direction from higher pressure to lower pressure. 

Valves may be operated manually, either by a handle, lever, pedal or wheel. Valves may also be automatic, driven by changes in pressure, temperature, or flow, allowing control over a variety of operational requirements. 

A solenoid valve is electromechanically controlled using magnetics. When current is passed to the magnet, the valve is actuated, automatically opening or closing the valve as required. Solenoids are commonly used in restaurant equipment to activate the flow of water, syrups, gas and more.
