Product Overview
The EDWARDS VS 16K / D059-15-000 is a precision-engineered vacuum solenoid valve designed for reliable isolation and control of vacuum lines in demanding industrial process environments. Manufactured by Edwards Vacuum, a global leader in vacuum technology, this valve operates as an electrically actuated, normally closed (NC) two-port isolation valve. The VS 16K series is specifically engineered for high-vacuum service, utilizing a robust solenoid coil to drive a diaphragm or bellows-sealed poppet mechanism that ensures leak-tight sealing and rapid response. The D059-15-000 part number designates the specific configuration, including the solenoid voltage and port connection standard. This valve is a critical component in vacuum pump inlet isolation, process chamber venting, and load-lock sequencing, providing dependable on/off control that protects vacuum pumps and maintains process integrity in semiconductor, coating, and analytical instrumentation systems.
