The extraordinary performance of SPRITE II valves is made possible by two major characteristics: leadwire connections. Coils are varnished in
conformance with MIL-V-173.

SPECIFICATIONS

SPRITE II is a direct solenoid operated
spool valve, with a short stroke,
and packless design, for 3 or 4-Way
applications. It may be continuously
operated with or without line
lubrication, and mounted in any
position. It is a sub-base mounted
valve. All solenoids are rated for
continuous duty.
