How to Choose the Right Valve
When specifying valves for car wash systems, focus on:
- Media Compatibility – Match body and seal materials to soaps, waxes, and chemicals.
- Cycle Life & Duty – Choose solenoids rated for frequent on/off operation.
- System Integration – Confirm power availability (24 VDC, 120 VAC) and thread sizes (standard NPT).
Pro Tip: Standardizing valves across bays reduces downtime, simplifies stocking, and makes maintenance faster during peak season.
