Innovation

Parker Fluid Control Division, manufacturers of the Skinner and Gold Ring lines of solenoid valves and the Sinclair Collins line of process control valves, now offers a six-port Marine Selector Valve for electric remote tank selection in boats with multiple diesel fuel tanks.

Unique in design, the Marine Selector Valve permits continuous engine function during tank switching, from the safety and convenience of the boat’s control panel. The two-way, normally closed valves, rated for fuel safety shut off, features integral solenoids and a manual override in a one-piece construction. Applications for this valve include marine engines, generator sets and cross-over piping arrangements, as well as fuel balancing. The valve can be installed in medium-sized yachts, commercial fishing craft, personal fishing boats, inboard/outboard engine boats, and fishing trawlers.

The Marine Selector Valve is manufactured with six ports for fuel return to diesel tanks and comes with a two-year warranty. Constructed in aluminum, the new valve has a flow capacity of 180 GPH and fuel line connections of ½” Female NPT.

Electrical specifications include a molded coil enclosure with yoke, 18” lead connections and 12 or 24 VDC voltage. Additionally, the valve can operate with a maximum ambient temperature of 80ºC or 176ºF and a maximum media temperature of 71ºC or 160ºF. It can also withstand a maximum operating pressure differential of 3 psi when used with a 10 watt class F coil.
