Hi guys. I’ve searched all over for a solenoid valve and have only come up with one from Magnatrol, but i need another option. I’ve found a few others but they all require a minimum differential pressure to operate, but i need it to be operational with 0 psid. I’ve considered a pneumatically actuated valve with a solenoid but I don’t have a safe pneumatic source close to the installation.

What i need:
24VDC powered
Class 1 Div 2 group d rated (ETL, UL or CSA)
Steel or stainless steel body
1000 psig or greater
0 psid minimum operating differential pressure
NEMA 4, 4x or IP 66 weather protection
Normally Open
CV of at least 1.0
Class 5 shutoff
Available from a US distributor.

Thanks a lot for your time.

A solenoid valve with a Cv of 1.0 is a pretty big solenoid even at normal pressures of a few bars or so. 1000 psig differential? Good luck.

But, you don't say how fast it has to open, so why not a motor-operated ball valve or similar?
 
Use a more standard solenoid, in a safe location to control air to a pneumatically operated valve.
