The Amerec 3170-06 Solenoid Valve, Water Inlet, 240 Volt, 3/8" NPT is a crucial, genuine OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) replacement part for various Amerec steam generators. This valve controls the flow of water into the steam unit's boiler tank, ensuring proper filling and operation.
Key Features and Purpose:
- Part Number: 3170-06
- Function: This is an electrically operated valve that opens and closes to control the supply of fresh water to the steam generator. When activated by the control system, it allows water to flow into the boiler; when deactivated, it stops the flow.
- Voltage: Designed for a 240 Volt electrical supply. It's imperative that the voltage matches the system it's being installed into.
- Connection Size: Features a 3/8" NPT (National Pipe Taper) threaded connection for the water inlet, which is a standard size for plumbing connections.
- Application: Primarily used as the main water inlet valve in numerous Amerec residential and commercial steam generator models. It ensures the boiler maintains the correct water level for steam production.
- Importance: A malfunctioning water inlet solenoid valve can lead to various issues, including:
- No Steam: If the valve fails to open, the boiler won't fill with water.
- Overfilling/Leaks: If the valve fails to close properly, the boiler can overfill, potentially leading to leaks or unsafe conditions.
- Inefficient Operation: Incorrect water levels can impact the efficiency and longevity of the heating elements.
- OEM Quality: As a genuine Amerec part, the 3170-06 ensures a perfect fit, reliable operation, and adherence to the manufacturer's original performance and safety standards.
- Installation: Installation typically requires basic plumbing and electrical knowledge. It's recommended that replacement be performed by a qualified technician.
