We Simplify Industrial Supply

We use our expertise to solve industrial problems within SME’s. As we listen, we think along to provide you with the best answer. Easy and professional.

Transparent

Openness is key to us. We don’t keep secrets. In fact, we love sharing our expertise online through videos that are practical and clearly articulated, so that everyone can benefit.

Friends

Since Tameson’s founding, friendship has been alive and kicking. Fun lubricates our company. We are ourselves, and we support and trust each other. Workwise and personal.

Hands-on

Putting our shoulders to the wheel. We don't complain at Tameson. We just do it. We prefer speed to bureaucratic chatter. By being flexible we get things done.

Bold

Bootstrapped is how we started and grew into a solid team. On the one hand, it requires freedom. On the other hand, ownership to experiment. We embrace new opportunities.

Selection Wizard

Complete the questions to find suitable valves directly:

2-way
3-way

Type:

2-Way Solenoid Valve

2-Way Electric Ball Valve

Solenoid Valve or Ball Valve?

Solenoid Valves: 2-Way Solenoid Valve

The valve is actuated with an electric current through the solenoid (electromagnet).

Switches directly.
From 1/8 inch up to 2 inch.
Normally Closed or Normally Open.
Only for clean media.
Uses energy as long as electrically energized.
(Semi-)direct operated: from 0 bar pressure differential.
Indirect operated: from ±0.5 bar pressure diff.
Only one direction of pressure.
Brass, Stainless Steel or Plastic housing.
EPDM, FKM, NBR of PTFE seals.

Electric Ball Valves: 2-Way Electric Ball Valve

The flow is controlled with a drilled sphere (ball) which rotates around its axis, perpendicular to the bore. The ball rotates with the help of an electric motor.

Operates from 0 bar.
Close gradually (±10s).
Energy efficient.
1/2, 3/4 or 1 inch.
For both flow directions.
Brass Housing / PTFE sealing.
Less sensitive to dirt.

Function:

NC = Normally Closed (most chosen): The valve is closed when the coil is not electrically energized.
NO = Normally Open: The valve is open when the coil is not electrically energized.

System:

Indirect operated solenoid valves need a pressure differential over the inlet and outlet port for proper operation. If the pressure differential is too low (f.e. a gravity fed system or a closed circuit), only (semi-)direct operated solenoid valves can be used. These operate from a zero bar pressure differential.

Medium:

The type of medium defines the material choice of the valve body and seals. By selecting 'Other', you can choose the material for the valve body and seals.

Tip: Use the material table.

Port:

Most valves are provided with internal thread (BSPP = British Standard Pipe Parallel). Use the table as a guideline for sizing:

Valve	Pipe ∅
1/8 inch	± 4 - 8 mm
1/4 inch	± 6 - 12 mm
3/8 inch	± 8 - 15 mm
1/2 inch	± 10 - 16 mm
3/4 inch	± 15 - 22 mm
1 inch	± 20 - 30 mm
1½ inch	± 25 - 50 mm
2 inch	± 40 - 60 mm

Voltage:

Solenoid valves are supplied with a coil of choice for alternating current (AC) or direct current (DC).
