Cleveland 22244 Steamer Drain Solenoid Valve 250°F 15 PSI 1/2" FPT

A fluid control solenoid valve used in commercial steamers and boiler systems, this component regulates hot water and steam discharge with precise electrical actuation. It operates on a 110/120V coil and is rated for up to 250°F and 15 PSI, featuring a 1/2" FPT connection with a 45-degree angled body design for efficient installation in compact drainage lines. The normally open configuration allows controlled flow management, ensuring proper system drainage during operational cycles. In commercial cooking and steam generation equipment, consistent drainage is essential for maintaining safe pressure levels and stable performance. This valve helps manage condensate and excess water flow, preventing pressure buildup and supporting efficient thermal operation. If an existing solenoid becomes clogged or fails to actuate correctly, replacing it helps restore proper drainage function, improving equipment reliability in high-demand kitchens, institutional cooking systems, and boiler-fed steam units.
