General-Purpose Solenoid Process Control for Air, Water and Steam
Brass air, water and steam process valves provide electrically controlled on/off flow for general industrial services. The N2W series uses a coupled diaphragm design and is described as operating without a media pressure differential, allowing use in low-pressure and vacuum-duty applications as well as conventional process lines.
The source range is 2-way, normally closed and lists NPT port sizes from 3/8 through 2 inches. Valves are supplied with a DIN 43650 Form A coil connection.

- 2-way, 2-port / 2-position construction
- Normally closed operation
- Coupled diaphragm design
- Can operate without a media pressure differential according to the source description
- Suitable for vacuum or very low air pressure applications
- Port sizes from 3/8 NPT to 2 NPT
- DIN 43650 Form A coil connection
Why Use a Coupled-Diaphragm Process Valve?
- A coupled diaphragm allows the valve to be actuated without depending on line pressure differential to open or close.
- This can be useful in low-pressure utilities, vacuum service and applications where process pressure varies substantially.
Common Applications
- Industrial compressed air
- Water lines and utility services
- Compatible steam applications
- Low-pressure process systems
- Vacuum-duty applications
- General industrial equipment
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the N2W process valve used for?
It is a general-purpose 2-way solenoid process valve intended for compatible air, water, steam and industrial utility applications.
Is the valve normally open or normally closed?
The source description identifies normally closed operation, meaning power is applied to start media flow.
What port sizes are listed?
The source range lists sizes from 3/8 NPT to 2 NPT.
Does the valve need a minimum pressure differential?
The source description states that the coupled diaphragm allows operation without a media pressure differential.
Can the valve be used for vacuum?
The source description specifically notes vacuum-duty capability.
What coil connection is listed?
A DIN 43650 Form A coil connection is listed.
What is a coupled diaphragm?
It is a diaphragm mechanically linked to the actuator so valve movement does not rely solely on process pressure differential.
How do I select the correct process valve?
Confirm media compatibility, port size, pressure, temperature, coil voltage, seal materials and the required normally closed function.
