Solenoid directional arrow Properly aligning the directional arrow on a water inlet solenoid is essential because:


  • Proper Flow Direction: The arrow indicates the correct direction of water flow. Installing the solenoid valve in the wrong direction can prevent it from functioning properly, leading to blockages or reverse flow.


  • Optimal Performance: Solenoid valves are designed to operate with the flow in a specific direction. Incorrect installation can cause the valve to malfunction, reducing its efficiency and potentially causing damage to the system.


  • Preventing Damage: Incorrect installation can lead to increased wear and tear on the valve components, as they are not designed to handle flow in the opposite direction. This can result in leaks or even complete failure of the valve.


Always check the directional arrow on the valve body and ensure it matches the intended flow direction in your system. This simple step can save you from a lot of potential issues down the line


IMPORTANT: When fitting a water inlet solenoid take note of the water flow direction on the base of the valve and always have arrow pointing towards float valve assembly.
