About the AirTAC 2KL400
The AirTAC 2KL400 is a normally open 2/2-way solenoid valve for saturated steam, hot water and oil, with 1 1/2" ports and a Ø40.0 mm orifice (Cv 31.00). It is internally piloted: the line pressure helps move the piston, which gives a large flow from a small coil, so it needs at least 0.05 MPa across the valve to switch. The valve is open with the coil off and closes while the coil is energised.
The body is SUS304 stainless steel with PTFE seals, suited to hot water and saturated steam. It handles media up to 20 cSt, proof pressure 1.5 MPa. The coil is rated IP65 with class H insulation and comes with a DIN connector or a 0.5 m lead wire.

Where the 2KL400 Is Used
Steam lines
Switches saturated steam up to 183 °C for heating, sterilising and cleaning.
Hot water
Opens and closes hot water lines up to 150 °C.
Hot oil
Handles oil up to 150 °C and 20 cSt.
Choosing the Right 2KL400 Configuration
The port is 1 1/2"; PT is standard.
Choose the coil voltage to match your control circuit: DC24V (B), AC220V (A), AC110V (C), AC24V (E), DC12V (F). Supply tolerance is AC ±15% and DC ±10%.
For the electrical entry, the standard DIN connector takes your own cable; the I version has a 0.5 m lead wire already attached.
The 2KL is normally open: the valve is open with the coil off and closes while the coil is energised. For a normally closed valve use the 2L.
Pilot-operated sizes need at least 0.05 MPa pressure difference to switch; for lines that may run at zero pressure, use a direct-acting 2KL030 or 2KL050.
Sizes 320, 400 and 500 have no mounting bracket accessory.
AirTAC 2KL400 FAQ
Normally open. The valve is open with the coil off and closes while the coil is energised.
Saturated steam, hot water and oil up to 20 cSt. Oil -10 to +150 °C, hot water +1 to +150 °C, saturated steam up to 183 °C, ambient -20 to +100 °C.
It works at a pressure difference of 0.05 – 0.7 MPa (10 – 100 psi); proof pressure 1.5 MPa. As a pilot-operated valve it needs at least 0.05 MPa to switch.
DC24V (B), AC220V (A), AC110V (C), AC24V (E), DC12V (F). The letter after the port size gives the voltage.
