0202-960-01 – Chicago Dryer Air Valve, 1/2″, 24 VAC

The 0202-960-01 is a high-capacity 1/2-inch air solenoid valve designed for Chicago Dryer flatwork ironers and folders. Operating on a 24 VAC coil voltage, this valve is typically utilized for main air supply control or high-volume actuation circuits where substantial airflow is required to drive heavy pneumatic cylinders or air bar systems.

As a direct factory replacement for the obsolete 0202-960, this updated component ensures compatibility with existing pneumatic manifolds and electrical controls found in models like the Skyline Mini. It features robust construction to withstand the frequent cycling and warm ambient temperatures common in industrial laundry finishing lines.

Maintenance Tip: Listen for hissing when the valve is in the "off" state; a continuous leak often indicates debris trapped in the diaphragm, which can sometimes be cleared by disassembling and cleaning the valve body.
