Compact solenoid valves with pilot operated disc construction (except B25, E25 and E34, E42) for refrigeration and air conditioning. These valves may be mounted horizontal, on side, or in a vertical line. They are suitable for suction line service because very low pressure differential is required for full opening.

Types A3 and E3 series are hermetic, direct-acting type solenoid valves primarily for refrigeration and air conditioning applications. The flow rate of the E3 and A3 are identical, therefore, the E3 may be freely substituted for the A3.
The E5 series are compact solenoid valves with pilot operated disc construction and are rated at 2.8 tons R-22 at 3 psi pressure drop vs. 1.6 for the A3S1. These valves may be mounted horizontally, on their side or in a vertical line.
The Types E3 and E5 series solenoid valves feature extended solder type connections as standard. One important benefit to the user is that all valves in the “E3” and “E5” series can be installed using either low or no silver content brazing alloy.
