The Sporlan 3217-00 E3S120 Solenoid Valve is a direct-acting, normally closed solenoid valve designed for refrigeration and air conditioning applications where reliable flow control is a job requirement. This E3 series body features 1/4" ODF extended solder connections, allowing you to braze the valve into the liquid, suction, or discharge line without disassembly, protecting internal components from heat damage during installation. With a 3/32" orifice and a maximum operating pressure differential (MOPD) of 300 psi for AC, it provides tight closing performance via synthetic seating material that stands up to heavy cycling in the field. The Sporlan E3S120 is engineered with a brass forged body and synthetic-coated metal gaskets to eliminate external leak paths. It delivers a nominal capacity of 1.6 tons for R-22 and 1.1 tons for R-404A at a 3 psi pressure drop. This unit is sold less coil and is compatible with the Sporlan MKC-1 coil assembly. Whether you are performing a refrigerant solenoid valve replacement or a new system build, the hermetic design of this 1/4 inch ODF solenoid ensures long-term seat tightness and system integrity in demanding commercial environments. Key Benefits: Extended copper connections permit fast brazing without the need to pull the valve apart, saving time on the roof or in the mechanical room. Direct-acting hermetic design provides 100% positive shut-off for liquid, suction, and discharge gas applications. Synthetic seating material ensures a bubble-tight seal even under high-pressure conditions. Compatible with multiple refrigerants including R-22, R-134a, R-404A, and R-507 for maximum truck-stock versatility. Rugged brass construction and 500 psi safe working pressure rating ensure durability in high-vibration environments. Common Questions: What coil is compatible with the E3S120? This valve body requires a Sporlan MKC-1 type coil for proper operation; the coil is not included with the 3217-00 base part number. Can this solenoid be mounted in any orientation? While it can be mounted horizontally, on its side, or in a vertical line, mounting the coil at 12 o'clock is industry best practice to prevent debris from settling in the plunger tube. Is disassembly required before brazing? No, the "E" series features extended connections specifically designed to allow brazing without internal component removal.
