Weep solenoid

[Kar B Kleen]

Looks like I need a new one. My red hat has a small hole in the diaphragm. The cost for a rebuild kit is more than a many new valves. Anyone have a suggestion on a new valve? 1/2" 110v. Thanks.

I like the ASCO 8210G34 but your right they are expensive. I've been getting them on Ebay. If you can't find one there look at KR, the Dema normally open 0474P 1/2" works well.

For part number clarity, DEMA O474P is 1/2" normally open.

I use the 3/8" version, no particular reason for choosing that size, the valve is identical otherwise. They've been 100% reliable.

I use the dema 0473P.3 and have had it stick both open and closed, it is mounted vertically though, and I believe they are supposed to be mounted horizontally only.

I've always mounted them horizontally with the coil on top. I've just done it that way because it's easier to service. The manual says it can be mounted any way as long as the coil is above the valve body, probably to keep water out of the coil in case of a leak.

FWIW my Dema NO for Weep seemed exceptionally susceptible to any tiny debris. Went to the Big Box sore and got a whole house filter and change filter element each year. No more issues.

That's good to know. I quit using Demas for weep Years ago because I had trouble with them not closing. I use the GC.
