Netafim Series 80 Globe Control Valve 2 in, 24VDC Solenoid (71610-014518)

Netafim Series 80 2 Inch 24VDC Valve for PLC Control

Many commercial greenhouses run fertigation and climate from a PLC or a building controller with 24-volt DC outputs. This valve plugs straight into that kind of system, with a 24VDC solenoid on the 2 in Series 80 globe body. Netafim lists it as item 71610-014518. Energise the coil and the zone opens; drop the signal and the normally closed valve shuts. There is no polarity pulse to manage, so any DC output or relay that can switch 24 volts will drive it. Rated flow is 0.25 to 176 GPM at 7 to 150 psi, with water up to 140°F. Through the globe body the loss is about 4.0 psi at 60 GPM and 11.5 psi at 160 GPM. Body, bonnet and seat are glass-reinforced polyamide, with stainless 304 hardware and a 302 stainless spring. The valve measures about 6-9/16 x 6-1/2 x 6-5/8 in and weighs 2 lb. An integrated check valve holds it shut until the controller calls for water.

Wiring a 24 Volt DC Solenoid Valve to a Control Panel

Run the coil from a DC output card, an interposing relay or a solid-state output rated for the load. A 24-volt supply sized for every valve that may open together keeps the voltage steady at the coil. DC coils behave the same on every cycle, which suits automation that logs or interlocks irrigation events. This 24 volt DC solenoid valve should not be swapped onto a 24VAC sprinkler timer without checking the controller output. Mount it upright with the flow arrow downstream, as the 2-way Series 80 body is built for vertical installation. The flow control stem trims the zone from fully closed to full capacity during balancing. Command water reaches the diaphragm through a clog-free labyrinth inlet, a good match for recycled or dirty water. A filter ahead of the zone still matters, because the inlet protects the valve and not the emitters. If power fails mid-cycle the valve closes, so a fault leaves the zone dry rather than flooded. The drip-tight seal ends each cycle cleanly, keeping dosing accurate.

Key Features

• 24VDC solenoid: Drives from PLC outputs, DC relay boards and building automation panels.
• Normally closed: The zone shuts whenever the DC signal or supply drops.
• 0.25-176 GPM range: One 2 in valve handles a few laterals up to a full range.
• Flow control stem: Throttles or closes the zone by hand while balancing.
• Clog-free labyrinth inlet: Keeps the control chamber working on recycled or dirty water.
• Integrated check valve: Holds the valve shut until the controller calls for water.
• Glass-reinforced nylon: Corrosion-resistant body with stainless hardware for fertigation water.
