Installation
Flow direction
Water hammer is a typical result of high liquid 
velocity (high pressure and high ow velocity 
through small pipe diameters). 
There are several reasonable solutions to the 
problem:
A: Reduce the pressure by installing a pressure 
reduction valve ahead of the solenoid valve. If pos-
sible, increase the pipe diameter.
B: Damp the water hammer by installing a exible 
hose or exible buer ahead of the solenoid valve. 
C: Use a solenoid valve of the type EV220B 15-50. 
The equalising orice can be replaced by a version 
with smaller diameter. This gives a longer closing 
time (see “Spare parts” and “Opening and closing 
times”).

To be able to operate correctly, all solenoid valves 
must be installed with the arrow cast on the body 
pointing in the direction of ow.
