In these applications, this type DCT13 Solenoid Control Valve 2Way 2W ensures precise fluid control, maintains excellent sealing integrity, and supports efficient, safe operation even under demanding conditions.
The DCT13 Solenoid Control Valve 2 Way 2W is a highly efficient, hydraulically-operated valve specifically engineered to provide fully automatic ON/OFF isolation based on an electrical signal. Designed to meet the stringent demands of modern infrastructure, this specialized valve ensures rapid response time, outstanding durability, and reliable integration into SCADA and telemetry systems for remote operation.
At the core of the DCT13 Solenoid Control Valve 2 Way 2W is its diaphragm-actuated main valve controlled by a two-way solenoid pilot. When the solenoid is energized, it releases pressure from the main valve control chamber, causing the main valve to open quickly. When de-energized, the pilot ports close, allowing pressure to accumulate and close the main valve smoothly. This reliable electrical control is crucial for managing system flow remotely.
Manufactured from high-strength, corrosion-resistant materials (such as ductile iron) and built with a robust, globe-style body, the DCT13 Solenoid Control Valve 2 Way 2W is designed to withstand continuous system pressure and dynamic switching forces. Its specialized geometry ensures a stable closing sequence, mitigating the destructive effects of water hammer often associated with rapid electrical isolation.
The DCT13 Solenoid Control Valve 2 Way 2W is ideally suited for applications in automated pump sequencing, emergency shut-off systems, reservoir filling (as a back-up valve), and any system requiring remote or time-based automatic flow control. Its reliable electro-hydraulic action and dependable isolation make it a preferred choice for engineers seeking a high-integrity, standards-compliant solution for long-term remote management and operational precision.
In summary, the DCT13 Solenoid Control Valve 2 Way 2W offers an optimal combination of electrical automation, rapid hydraulic response, and robust isolation capability. With its reliable solenoid pilot, durable construction, and focus on immediate remote control, this unit stands as a trusted solution for modern fluid control and automated network requirements worldwide.
1. General Information
The DCT13 Solenoid Control Valve 2 Way 2W is designed for electro-hydraulic ON/OFF isolation duties. Proper installation, including securing the electrical connections and pilot tubing, is essential to guarantee safe operation, long service life, and reliable remote control.
2. Safety Precautions
Installation must be performed by qualified personnel only.
Ensure strict compliance with all local safety regulations and standards concerning working with high-pressure pipelines and electrical components.
Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE).
Confirm that the pipeline section is fully depressurized, isolated, and drained before attempting to install the DCT13 Solenoid Control Valve 2 Way 2W.
3. Pre-Installation Checklist
Inspect the DCT13 Solenoid Control Valve 2 Way 2W for any visible damage during transport or storage, paying attention to the solenoid coil and pilot tubing integrity.
Check that the valve type, size, pressure rating, and solenoid voltage match the system requirements.
Verify that the valve interior and pilot line strainers are clean and free from debris.
Confirm that the mating pipeline flanges are properly aligned (parallel and concentric) and free from burrs or sharp edges.
Ensure the solenoid coil is correctly wired and protected from moisture.
4. Installation Procedure
Positioning: Install the DCT13 Solenoid Control Valve 2 Way 2W ensuring the flow direction adheres to the arrow cast on the body.
The main valve is typically installed with dedicated isolation valves for easy service access.
Use the appropriate gaskets suitable for the medium and operating conditions.
Align the valve precisely between the pipeline flanges and insert bolts, tightening them gradually and crosswise in incremental steps.
Connect the pilot tubing and wire the solenoid coil according to the specified voltage and protection class.
5. Post-Installation
Slowly open the upstream isolation valve to reintroduce fluid and pressurize the system, checking immediately for leaks around the flange connections and the pilot tubing.
If leakage is detected, depressurize the system immediately and re-tighten the bolts or connections following the cross-pattern sequence.
Verify the remote ON/OFF function by energizing and de-energizing the solenoid, confirming the valve opens and closes smoothly.
Record the installation details, wiring specs, and operational notes for documentation purposes.
Proper maintenance extends the service life of the DCT13 Solenoid Control Valve 2 Way 2W and ensures reliable electro-hydraulic performance. Follow the guidelines below to maximize the longevity of this essential unit.
1. Routine Operation
Visually inspect the DCT13 Solenoid Control Valve 2 Way 2W exterior, pilot line tubing, and electrical conduit regularly (e.g., monthly) for signs of external leakage or corrosion around the coil housing.
Monitor the valve’s response time during switching cycles to ensure the solenoid and main valve react promptly.
2. Inspection Schedule
Monthly, check the pilot system strainers and filters for fouling and clean them to ensure proper hydraulic operation.
Quarterly, check the security of the solenoid coil and wiring connections; ensure the coil housing remains dry and undamaged.
Annually, perform a detailed internal inspection by removing the main cover to check the condition of the diaphragm, seating surface, and stem seals for wear or pitting.
3. Lubrication
The DCT13 Solenoid Control Valve 2 Way 2W utilizes fluid-lubricated internal parts (water) and generally requires no external lubrication for the main valve.
Ensure the solenoid pilot armature is clean and moves freely.
4. Seal and Gasket Replacement
Replace the main cover/diaphragm gasket and pilot tubing seals immediately if external leakage is observed.
The main valve seat and disc seals should be replaced if the valve fails to provide tight isolation (leaks through when closed).
Always isolate the valve and fully depressurize and drain the line before attempting any maintenance work requiring cover removal.
5. Cleaning
Keep the exterior of the DCT13 Solenoid Control Valve 2 Way 2W clean, particularly the solenoid coil area, to prevent surface corrosion and thermal issues.
If the valve is disassembled, clean all internal guiding surfaces and the pilot components carefully to ensure precision hydraulic response.
6. Storage and Spare Parts
Store spare parts (diaphragms, solenoid coils, pilot kits, gaskets) in a dry, clean, and cool environment, away from direct sunlight and temperature extremes.

Frequently Asked Questions about the DCT13?
What are the main advantages of this valve?
The DCT13 Solenoid Control Valve 2 Way 2W enables fully automated, reliable ON/OFF isolation in large pipelines via a low-power electrical signal, making it essential for remote SCADA integration and automated sequencing applications.
Why should I choose this product?
This valve delivers outstanding performance in both sealing and durability, making it a dependable choice for demanding applications. Its straightforward design facilitates easy installation, offering flexibility during system design. With a wide range of material options, it meets the needs of various infrastructure projects, from municipal water networks to industrial facilities.
What does "2 Way 2W" signify in the DCT13 Solenoid Control Valve 2 Way 2W designation?
“2 Way” signifies the solenoid pilot has two port connections (inlet and outlet). “2W” signifies the solenoid is two-position (either energized or de-energized), controlling the flow of the pilot fluid that operates the main valve.
How does the solenoid pilot control the main valve?
The solenoid pilot manages the pressure above the main valve diaphragm. By electrically opening or closing a small port, it either releases the pressure (causing the main valve to open) or traps the pressure (causing the main valve to close).
Is the DCT13 Solenoid Control Valve 2 Way 2W suitable for throttling or flow regulation?
No. The DCT13 Solenoid Control Valve 2 Way 2W is designed specifically for ON/OFF isolation duty. For applications requiring precise flow modulation, a dedicated modulating control valve should be used.
