The TLMKC18 is designed to manually open solenoid valves by magnetically lifting the stem assembly and plunger. Simply slide the TLMKC18 over the valve's enclosing tube and the industrial grade magnets incorporated inside the rugged ABS plastic housing does the rest. It is an ideal tool for trouble shooting/servicing both direct connected or pilot operated 2-way solenoid, 3-way reclaim or 4-way reversing valves.
