Overview
The Parker 12F23C2148ACF4C05 is a forged brass, direct-lift solenoid valve from Parker’s Gold Ring legacy series. This 2-way normally closed valve is designed for general purpose fluid control in industrial, commercial, and municipal applications including compressed air, water, light oils, and gas service. The valve remains closed until energized, providing fail-safe operation in most systems.
