Yes, in most industrial contexts, the terms magnet valve and solenoid valve are used interchangeably. Both refer to an electromechanically operated valve that uses a magnetic coil to actuate the spool or plunger. At Thriveon, we manufacture both direct-acting and pilot-operated solenoid valves for a wide range of media and pressures.

Our standard MOQ is 500 units for custom OEM specifications (custom voltage, coil, or connectors). However, we can accommodate smaller trial orders or sample requests for qualified projects. For stock standard models, MOQ can be as low as 50 units.

Absolutely. We offer ATEX and IECEx certified coils for use in potentially explosive atmospheres (gas and dust groups). Please share your specific zone classification (Zone 1, Zone 2, Zone 21, Zone 22) and gas group, and our engineers will provide the optimal solution.

Our standard coil housings are rated IP65. For higher water ingress protection (IP67), we use encapsulated coils with sealed connectors and O-rings on the armature tube. We can also provide cable gland entries for permanent sealing. All IP ratings are verified through our in-house testing.

For standard magnet valves, our lead time is 15–20 working days. Custom OEM orders typically require 25–30 working days for tooling, prototyping, and batch production. We also offer a VIP Stock Program for regular clients, ensuring priority production and 7-day express shipments.

Yes, we encourage sampling. We offer free samples for standard valve sizes to qualified buyers. You only pay for shipping (which is deducted from your first bulk order). Custom samples are charged at a nominal design & tooling fee, fully refundable upon placing an order.

We have extensive experience exporting to the US under DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) and CIF terms. We handle all customs clearance and tariff payments, ensuring a smooth door-to-door delivery. We ship via major ports (Long Beach, Newark, Houston) with reliable freight partners like Maersk and COSCO.

Standard terms for new clients are 30% T/T deposit, 70% T/T balance before shipment. For larger contracts or established relationships, we can discuss L/C at sight or net 30 terms (subject to credit approval). We also accept payments via credit card for sample orders.
