Manufacturers of solenoid valves typically offer different types based on size, pressure rating, and application. Some common solenoid valve types include:

2-Way Solenoid Valve: It has two ports—one for the inlet and one for the outlet—allowing or stopping the flow of a fluid or gas. 3-Way Solenoid Valve: It has three ports and can be used to control the flow of fluids in different directions or mix two fluids. 4-Way Solenoid Valve: Often used in pneumatic systems, it controls the flow between different paths and is used to direct the operation of cylinders. Normally Open (NO) and Normally Closed (NC): These refer to whether the valve is open or closed when no electrical current is applied. Applications of solenoid valves are broad and include industries like:
