Description
3/8" Zero Pressure Stainless Solenoid Valve – CS ADS14
CS Fluid Power 316 Stainless Assisted-Lift Solenoid Valve
The CS Fluid Power ADS14 is a high-flow 3/8" assisted-lift (Magnalift) 2/2 way normally closed 316 stainless steel solenoid valve designed for vacuum, zero-pressure and general industrial fluid control applications.
Unlike conventional pilot-operated valves, the assisted-lift design requires no minimum pressure differential, allowing operation from 0 Bar while retaining a large 15mm orifice and high flow capacity.
Suitable for air, water, light oils, vacuum, mildly acidic or alkaline media and compatible fluids and gases, the ADS14 combines a corrosion-resistant 316 stainless steel body, stainless steel internals and a serviceable diaphragm design for reliable continuous-duty operation. The manufacturer's material specification confirms a SUS316 valve body with stainless steel solenoid tube, armature and spring.

Why Choose the ADS Assisted-Lift Valve?
The ADS14 combines the zero-pressure capability of an assisted-lift valve with the corrosion resistance of a 316 stainless steel body.
Its Magnalift construction allows reliable operation from 0 Bar differential pressure, including vacuum applications, while the 15mm orifice provides a Kv flow factor of 64.4 L/min.
Compared with the brass AD series, the stainless ADS range is particularly suited to applications involving mildly acidic or alkaline media, chemical processing, laboratory equipment and environments where improved corrosion resistance is required.
