Abstract

Solenoid-actuated valve adapted for heavy duty use by having the coil of the solenoid divided into high and low power windings connected in and automatically energized in succession by a solid state control circuit for providing in sequence high power of predetermined short duration for opening the valve and low power of usually longer duration for holding the valve in open position.
