What does SOPV stand for?

• A. Solid Operated Pilot Valve
• B. Solenoid Operated Pilot Valve
• C. Solenoid Operated Pressure Valve
• D. Solenoid Operated Pin Valve

Answer: (B)

Solenoid Operated Pilot Valve is the phrase represented by the acronym. A solenoid provides the electric actuation, moving a small pilot valve. This pilot valve then controls the pressure or flow to actuate the main valve, allowing a larger valve to operate with only a small input energy. This setup enables precise, fast, and remote control of valve position in systems like AFFF transfer stations. The other descriptions don’t fit standard valve naming: “solid operated” isn’t a recognized term, “pressure valve” isn’t the pilot valve concept, and “pin valve” refers to a different valve design.
