AstralPool - 3-Way Valve with Solenoid for System VRAC Safety Drain Valve - 4405070001

AstralPool – 3-Way Valve with Solenoid for System VRAC Safety Drain Valve

This is a genuine AstralPool original spare part — a 3-way solenoid-operated valve designed for integration into the drainage circuit of the AstralPool System VRAC automatic multiport selector valve range. It works as an electrically actuated shut-off in the drain line, preventing unintended water loss whenever the multiport valve changes position or in the event of a power failure. Operating on 24 Vac, it provides automatic, fail-safe control of the drain outlet on pool sand filter installations.

Compatibility

This solenoid valve is a direct spare component for assemblies covered by Fluidra exploded views 41898 and 41899 — corresponding to the AstralPool Multiport Automatic Safety Valve with Ø50 smooth double-sleeve connection (ref. 41898) and the 1½” BSP double-sleeve connection variant (ref. 41899). It is specifically intended for use with the AstralPool System VRAC family of automatic selector valves fitted to pool sand filters. Always cross-reference your exploded view number before ordering.

Why genuine matters

As an original AstralPool part manufactured within the Fluidra Group, this solenoid valve is built to the exact electrical and hydraulic specifications of the System VRAC platform. Aftermarket substitutes may not match the 24 Vac coil rating or the low pump-pressure orifice requirement (maximum 40–50 kPa / 0.4–0.5 bar) critical for reliable drain-line operation, risking valve damage or uncontrolled pool drainage.

Installation

The valve is supplied ready for installation into the drain circuit of a compatible System VRAC automatic selector valve. Installation and wiring should be carried out by a qualified pool technician familiar with AstralPool VRAC systems, following the relevant Fluidra installation and service manual. Ensure the solenoid supply voltage matches the 24 Vac requirement of the control panel before connecting.
