Steam Valves

Steam Solenoid Valves | High Temperature Stainless Steel Valves

Control steam and high-temperature fluids with stainless steel steam solenoid valves designed for reliable automatic flow control. Built for demanding commercial and industrial applications, these valves handle steam, hot water, inert gas, and air while providing dependable performance in high-temperature systems.

Available in sizes from 1/2" to 2" NPT, our steam solenoid valves feature durable 304 stainless steel bodies, PTFE seals, and an extended actuator design that helps protect the coil from excessive heat.

Why Choose Steam Solenoid Valves?

Steam applications require valves designed to withstand temperatures and operating conditions that exceed the capabilities of many standard solenoid valves.

Our steam solenoid valves are designed specifically for these demanding environments and offer:

• 304 stainless steel valve bodies
• PTFE seals for high-temperature service
• Extended actuator design to reduce heat transfer to the coil
• Suitable for steam, hot water, inert gas, and air
• Designed for commercial and industrial fluid control systems

These features help provide dependable operation where high temperatures are present.

Common Applications

Steam solenoid valves are commonly used in systems that require automatic control of steam and other high-temperature media, including:

• Steam systems
• Hot water systems
• Industrial process equipment
• Commercial heating equipment
• Manufacturing systems
• General industrial fluid control

Steam Valve Construction

Our steam solenoid valves are engineered for high-temperature operation.

304 Stainless Steel Valve Body

The valve body is manufactured from premium 304 stainless steel for greater heat and pressure capability than brass or plastic valve bodies.

PTFE Seal

Each valve uses a PTFE diaphragm that creates a reliable seal for steam applications while withstanding elevated operating temperatures.

Extended Actuator Design

To help protect the actuator from excessive heat, the distance between the valve body and actuator has been increased, reducing heat transfer from the valve body to the electrical components.

Choosing the Right Steam Solenoid Valve

Media Compatibility

These valves are designed for:

• Steam
• High-temperature liquids
• Hot water
• Inert gas
• Air

Always verify the media compatibility and operating conditions for the specific valve before ordering.

Pressure & Temperature Ratings

Steam valves operate under higher temperatures than standard solenoid valves.

General specifications include:

• Temperature range: 32°F to 356°F (0°C to 180°C)
• AC pressure range: 0–145 PSI
• DC pressure range: 0–90 PSI

Always review the individual product page to confirm the operating limits for your selected valve.

Select the Correct Coil Voltage

Steam solenoid valves are available with AC and DC coil options.

When selecting a valve, match the coil voltage to your available power source and verify the pressure rating associated with that voltage.

Materials

These materials are selected to support reliable operation in elevated-temperature applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

What media can these steam valves control?

These valves are designed for steam, hot water, high-temperature liquids, inert gas, and air.

What temperature can these valves handle?

Steam solenoid valves are rated for temperatures from 32°F to 356°F (0°C to 180°C).

What pressure ratings are available?

Pressure ratings vary by coil type.

• • • AC models: 0–145 PSI
    • DC models: 0–90 PSI

Always confirm the specifications for the individual valve before installation.

Why do steam valves use an extended actuator?

The extended actuator increases the distance between the valve body and the actuator, helping reduce heat transfer and protect the electrical components from excessive temperatures.

Why are PTFE seals used?

PTFE seals provide reliable sealing performance in high-temperature steam applications and are designed for the operating conditions of these valves.

Why choose a stainless steel steam valve?

304 stainless steel offers greater heat and pressure resistance than brass or plastic valve bodies, making it well-suited for steam and high-temperature fluid control applications.
