Purchase a direct OEM replacement instead.

Slightly cheaper than original OEM parts but not worth it. Avoiding the leak is nearly impossible, and there are many additional steps to make it work. Save your money by buying OEM first.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Doubtful

Arrived quickly and easy to install

Solenoid arrived quickly. Installation was very easy as all parts needed to connect are included in the kit. I would suggest using teflon tape on the joints to prevent leaks. This is the second solenoid I have installed in two years. The water in my area is very dirty, with quite a bit of sediment, so it just corrodes those solenoids. This is a very economical part considering the cost of replacing original parts. I would buy it again if I had to replace it again.

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Guard

Well Featured Universal Humidifier Solenoid

A solenoid is a solenoid - they all magnetically open and close a small valve when energized. This all-in-one model costs three times less than mainstream humidifier brands and works just as well. Thank you for a set of brass connectors and fittings that the big boys who charge three times the price never think of. The only minor downside to this item is that the mounting bracket may not screw into your existing holes, but then you can easily swap out the brackets. When reassembling you willโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Heavy Duty
Cons
  • Safety

the installation was easy. Plenty of connectivity

Bought to replace the original solenoid valve on my Honeywell HE240 whole house humidifier which would not close even after several cleanings. Aside from creating a mounting block for the current configuration, installation was straightforward. Many connection options. A word of caution: if you have higher water pressure, reduce the pressure by closing the water supply valve on the water source (I have a saddle valve for the supply, so just turn it down a bit to normal flow). The solenoid hasโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Expensive

Affordable, works great and easy to install.

Perfect replacement for my oven humidifier. The old solenoid stopped working early in the winter of 2015 so I had this replacement in my oven for a full winter and now we are starting the second winter of 2016-17. So far this has worked great. I'm a 40 year old woman with a basic ability to do minor repairs at home, so I felt confident that I could replace the old part with the new one on myself. It was very easy to remove the old one and replace it with this one. I paid about $30 for it inโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Permanent test results
Cons
  • I will add later

Second purchase because it outperformed other solenoids

I bought this solenoid for my 15 year old Honeywell Enviracare Elite HE265A1007 humidifier. This is actually my second universal humidifier solenoid valve - UHS24 from Supco. The first exceeded my expectations (based on my experience with other solenoids). It lasted 5 years and my other valves never lasted long. It fits like the original solenoid and does the job. Valve assembly takes a few extra minutes (unlike other assembled or one-piece solenoid valves). But if you want to replace theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Good thing
Cons
  • Nothing here

Poor quality - see photo

I bought one of these in February 2015 and it lasted a few months this winter and then all of winter 2015-2016. October 2016 I hadn't turned on my home humidifier when I noticed the magnet had failed when open. Am I unlucky with that one solenoid or are they all bad quality? To stay positive, I ordered the same brand as a replacement. The new magnet is (permanently) attached to the bracket very crookedly. In the photo I have added some hardware to show the manufacturing defect. The non-standard

Pros
  • Great overall specs
Cons
  • Nothing

Broken out of the box

At the moment 1 star because it didn't work, it doesn't turn on. Luckily my old one still works (although it didn't but I decided to go back when I decided to reconnect just to see) and I only changed it because it had been there for 5 years and I removed the valve seat had the hot/cold water lines to the garage leaking and being blocked so I figured it was necessary to replace this motor as it was not working. I'll be honest and I know sometimes you get a broken unit so I asked for a refundโ€ฆ

Works well, quiet, easy to install, good water flow

Easy to install, works well, quiet, great water flow. Arrived within 2 business days. Tools Required: * Wrenches (for fittings) * Screwdrivers (to remove the old solenoid and attach the new one to the humidifier) * Wire strippers (to remove the sheathing from the wires of the new solenoid) * Plumbing tape/silicone tape (to ensure tight connections ) . This solenoid has good water flow, universal connectors, and doesn't make much noise when turning on and off. When installing I suggest you putโ€ฆ
