Air Valve needed

[David Rolf]

This weekend I have an air shutoff valve go bad on my tire system. This valve is 115Volt and turns off and on the air flow to the my flojet. The inlets are 1/4 pipe. Looked on Kleenrite and they seem to out of everything. Anywhere else I can locate one online that you guys know of? Also these are normally closed when not on correct? Thanks

I would think that any 1/4" 120 volt solenoid valve would work, all your doing is tur on and off the air supply to the pump. I'm a little surprised that it's 20 volt, most them are 24 volt.

Use a DEMA 401P 120V. They're easier to wire safely, and Kleen-Rite should have them in stock.

Someone just stuck a 120V coil under the cap of the 24V one.

FWIW you can remove the plunger from the solenoid and run the system without air control for a weekend rather than have a system down. Most washes with Flojets don't even have air controls for them.

MEP, Thanks for the reply and this solves my problem. Much appreciated. David
