Coils are electrical devices that produce magnetic flux when electrical power is applied to the windings. Surrounding the coil is the metal solenoid enclosure and frame. Together with the plunger and stop, it forms the magnetic circuit that operates the valve. Without the enclosure, the magnetic circuit is not complete. Without a complete magnetic circuit, the magnetic field is reduced and valve performance suffers. Depending on the coil voltage and power rating, the pressure rating of the valve can vary. Solenoid enclosures come in a variety of constructions offering varying levels of protection against the elements and other forces.
