OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) plastic solenoid valves are essential components used in various industrial and commercial applications for controlling the flow of liquids and gases. These valves are activated by an electrical current that energizes the solenoid coil, which in turn moves the valve’s internal components, allowing or restricting fluid flow. The use of plastic materials in the construction of these valves offers numerous advantages, including reduced weight, improved corrosion resistance, and cost-effectiveness. This article will explore the features, benefits, and key applications of OEM plastic solenoid valves, shedding light on their importance in modern fluid control systems.

What is an OEM Plastic Solenoid Valve? An OEM plastic solenoid valve is a type of solenoid valve designed and manufactured by an original equipment manufacturer, using plastic materials for its key components such as the body, bonnet, and other parts in contact with fluids. These valves function by employing an electromagnet (the solenoid) that, when powered, activates the valve mechanism to either open or close the flow path. This design is typically used in situations where metal components may be prone to corrosion or where weight reduction is a key concern. The working principle of these valves is straightforward： when an electric current passes through the solenoid coil, it generates a magnetic field that moves a plunger or diaphragm, controlling the flow of fluid. In the absence of electrical power, the valve may be held in its default position by a spring or another mechanical means.
