He's asking about a saltwater solenoid. I don't think he'll like the price of a saltwater safe solenoid. $$$

 

[flex13]

ur right, sorry that solenoid is only for fresh water.

Are there any cheaper solenoids out there? $35 is a lot of money for something pretty simple.

 

[phuochai]

you right . salt water solenoid price is very high

I check the solenoid from http://www.autotopoff.com/products/S/index.htm with model Polypropylene Solenoid Valve. Normally closed (open when powered). 120VAC .09 Amps
Internal components are saltwater safe (plastic and stainless steel).

Quick connect 1/4" OD tubing fittings are included.
this is what i need , thank you very much for your time to help me

phuochai,

The description is misleading. That solenoid has copper / stainless steel parts inside.

Here's proof:

the disassembled piston/shell:

the seat of the casing:

It looks like the end of the piston has a plastic plug seated in a stainless steel pin. It has a stainless steel spring, that keeps the solenoid OFF when power is off. The casing has an end with a brass thread that mates to the plastic body. There is a small ring of brass that is in contact with the water flowing though the valve, as well as the aforementioned spring and pin.

I am 100% sure it's the same solenoid, as I order the same ones from McMaster for other uses.
