Solenoid valves are electromagnetic valves used for controlling the flow of liquids or gases in a system. These valves can either open or close when an electric current is passed through the solenoid, allowing for precise control of various fluid systems. Given their versatility, solenoid valves are used in a wide range of applications, from controlling water flow in plumbing systems to managing gas flow in industrial machinery.

    The material choice for solenoid valves is critical in determining their performance, durability, and suitability for specific applications. Stainless steel solenoid valves are known for their strength, resistance to corrosion, and ability to withstand high pressures. On the other hand, plastic solenoid valves are lightweight, cost-effective, and suitable for less demanding applications, where corrosion resistance is important, but the system pressures are lower.
