GRIT Solenoid Control

Solenoid Control

Automated valve control for compatible welding-gas and compressed-air systems.

The GRIT Solenoid Control operates an included motorized brass ball valve for a reviewed welding-gas supply or compressed-air line through the local GRIT Hub. Pair it with a compatible Trigger or configured access workflow so the valve opens only when the mapped condition is met, then closes when that condition ends. Choose the valve fitting size that matches your installation.

Key Features

• Motorized ball valve: Includes a complete brass valve with manual override
• Configurable activation: Pair with a compatible Trigger or access workflow to enable the line only when its mapped condition is met
• Two common applications: Control reviewed welding-gas supplies or enable compressed air for pneumatic tools
• Three valve sizes: 1/2", 3/4", and 1" brass fittings for a reviewed piping installation
• Local event records: The Hub records commanded valve-state changes; operator attribution is available when the configured workflow includes an identified user
• Mesh connectivity: Communicates with the GRIT Hub over the GRIT mesh, with no Wi-Fi required at the valve
• Status LED: RGB LED indicates valve open, closed, or fault at a glance

Compatibility

Designed for a GRIT Hub system and a reviewed control workflow. Common applications include standard inert welding-gas lines (argon, CO2, argon/CO2 mix) for MIG and TIG welding and compressed-air lines serving pneumatic tools. Valve material, seal compatibility, pressure, flow, pipe size, and control sequence must be confirmed for the specific medium and installation. Not designed for acetylene or other fuel gases without prior consultation with GRIT. Hub Pro is required for RFiD access control and multi-zone systems.

Installation

Install inline with the reviewed gas or compressed-air supply. Isolate and depressurize the line before installation. Connect the included thermostat wire to the green 12V DC power-input terminal, using a GRIT Power Bank or another compatible 12V DC supply. Mount the control with the supplied VHB tape and pair with the Hub through the GRIT app. Use a licensed plumber or qualified technician where required for the medium, pressure, and local code. View the Solenoid Control installation guide.

*GRIT Hub is required for device functionality.

Important Notes

Verify your gas line diameter before ordering and select the valve fitting size that matches your existing pipe. Not rated for fuel gases (acetylene, propane) without prior consultation with GRIT. Systems with GRIT Track require a software upgrade (+25%). Contact us before ordering so we can configure your devices.
