The YELLOW JACKET

Solenoid Valve Service Magnet

is the quickest and easiest way to manually operate

solenoid valves. It works by magnetically lifting the stem

assembly and plunger to actuate the valve during service.

Test and Control

Use this solenoid service magnet to test, troubleshoot, or

manually activate and control a direct connected or pilot

operated 2-way solenoid, 3-way reclaim or 4-way reversing valve

typically found in a reverse cycle air conditioner or heat pump.

Recovery and Evacuation

This magnet can also be used to hold a solenoid valve open

during recovery and evacuation so the entire system can be

accessed.

Fits most common solenoid and 4-way reversing valves.

4-Way Reversing Valve

Solenoid Valve

Other Uses

• Use in place of the power head on a hot water oil shutoff valve to

eliminate the need to wait for the delay on open

• Use it to temporarily replace a faulty coil to open the solenoid valve

• Use it to turn the power on or replace the solenoid if it is bad

To optimize recovery, simply remove the solenoid coil from all normally closed valves –

refrigerant control valves, hot gas defrost valves, reversing valves, etc. Then apply the

YELLOW JACKET

solenoid magnet to each valve to speed up recovery and evacuation.

To help isolate solenoid valve issues, remove the coil from the valve and apply the YELLOW

JACKET

solenoid magnet. If the valve actuates, an electrical or solenoid coil issue is

indicated. If the valve actuates but there is no ﬂow, this indicates a plugged valve. No

actuation indicates the problem is in the valve body itself.

Opening: 0.75 in. (18 mm) ﬁts most common

manufactured valves including reversing valves.

Diameter: 1.5 in.

Length: 1.6 in.
