Abstract

Applicants have created systems and apparatuses for a simplified solenoid valve assembly adapted to control the flow of a fluid. The apparatus can include an upper component formed as a single manufactured component comprising a body and a core tube and a lower component formed as a single manufactured component comprising a seat insert and a core. The apparatus can further include a coil adapted to regulate an amount of fluid flowing through the apparatus and the upper and lower components can be formed as separate units coupled to one another with a coupler. The system can include the apparatus and a manifold that is adapted to be coupled to the upper component. By forming the upper and lower components as single manufactured components, the resulting simplified solenoid valve assembly can be manufactured with fewer components, with a reduced manufacturing cost and decreased complexity, as compared to traditional valve assemblies.
