Solenoid Valve Operating Magnet
The Solenoid Valve Operating Magnet solves the problem of operating a solenoid valve when a system is without power.
The Small Tool with a Big Attraction - Designed to convert Electrically Operated Solenoid Valves into hand-operated valves
The Solenoid Valve Operating Magnet is a tool that converts electrically operated solenoid valves into hand-operated valves. This enables service engineers to operate solenoid valves manually in refrigeration, air conditioning, water, oil, gas, and fuel installations. The magnet is the same shape and size as a large cotton reel. When placed onto a valve stem (with the coil removed), it causes the armature to open or close.
The Solenoid Valve Operating Magnet assists during the installation, recovery of refrigerants, and commissioning and decommissioning of plant and machinery.
Our Solenoid Valve Operating Magnets
The tool can be used during testing and troubleshooting or manually activating and controlling direct solenoid valves, a pilot-operated 2-way solenoid valve, a 3-way reclaim valve, or a 4-way reversing valve. In emergencies, such as the failure of a Solenoid coil, it can also be used to keep a system operating until a replacement coil is fitted.
