Description

3/8"–2" High Pressure Brass Solenoid Valve 0.5–40 Bar – SAH Series


The CS Fluid Power SAH Series is a high-pressure 2/2 way normally closed brass solenoid valve designed for reliable automatic control of compressed air, water, steam and compatible light oils. Available in 3/8" to 2" BSP female connections, the SAH Series features a servo-assisted piston design, PTFE seals and operating pressures from 0.5 to 40 bar for air and water applications.

Designed for demanding industrial environments, the SAH Series combines a robust brass body with stainless steel internal components, a continuously rated Class H solenoid coil and high-flow orifices from 15mm to 50mm.

With flow coefficients up to Kv 686.4 L/min, the range is suitable for high-pressure water systems, compressed air installations, steam control, industrial process equipment and automated fluid distribution.

Normally Closed Servo-Assisted Operation

The SAH Series is a 2/2 way normally closed solenoid valve using a servo-assisted piston mechanism.
Power OFF → Valve CLOSED, preventing fluid flow.
Power ON → Valve OPEN, allowing fluid to pass through the valve.
Power Failure → Valve returns to its normally closed position.
The servo-assisted piston design uses the pressure differential across the valve to assist operation, allowing high-pressure control with an electrically operated solenoid.
A minimum differential pressure of 0.5 bar is required for reliable operation.
The SAH Series is therefore unsuitable for zero-pressure or gravity-fed systems where sufficient differential pressure cannot be maintained.

Port Sizes, Orifices & Flow Capacity

The SAH Series is available in seven BSP port sizes, with flow capacity matched to the selected valve diameter.
3/8" BSP – SA14H – 15mm Orifice – Kv 64 L/min
1/2" BSP – SA15H – 15mm Orifice – Kv 64 L/min
3/4" BSP – SA20H – 20mm Orifice – Kv 133 L/min
1" BSP – SA25H – 25mm Orifice – Kv 188.8 L/min
1¼" BSP – SA35H – 35mm Orifice – Kv 371.8 L/min
1½" BSP – SA40H – 35mm Orifice – Kv 371.8 L/min
2" BSP – SA50H – 50mm Orifice – Kv 686.4 L/min
These flow coefficients provide a useful guide when selecting the appropriate valve size for industrial pipework and process equipment.
Actual flow depends on the media, pressure differential and installation conditions.

Pressure Ratings & Steam Compatibility

Minimum Operating Differential Pressure: 0.5 Bar
Maximum Air Pressure: 40 Bar
Maximum Water Pressure: 40 Bar
Maximum Steam Pressure: 12 Bar
Maximum Media Temperature: +180°C
Ambient Temperature: -30°C to +60°C
The SAH Series is particularly suitable for applications requiring higher operating pressures than conventional general-purpose brass solenoid valves.
Steam applications are limited to a maximum differential pressure of 12 bar, and the selected valve configuration must be suitable for the intended operating temperature.

Brass Construction & PTFE Sealing

The SAH Series is manufactured using durable industrial materials selected for high-pressure fluid control.
Valve Body: Brass
Solenoid Tube: 304 Stainless Steel
Spring: 304 Stainless Steel
Armature: 430F Stainless Steel
Other Internal Components: Stainless Steel
Seals & Gaskets: PTFE
Coil Housing: Moulded Resin
The PTFE sealing system offers broad compatibility with suitable industrial fluids and elevated operating temperatures.
Media compatibility must be confirmed against all wetted materials, including the brass body and stainless steel internal components.

Suitable Media

The SAH Series is designed for compatible industrial media including:
Compressed Air
Water
Hot Water
Steam
Light Oils
Compatible Neutral Industrial Fluids
Maximum Media Viscosity: 50 cSt
The combination of high-pressure capability and PTFE sealing makes the SAH Series suitable for a wide range of industrial process and fluid control applications.

Solenoid Coil & Electrical Specification

The standard SAH Series uses a WPG2 industrial solenoid coil with Class H insulation, designed for continuous operation.
