Abstract
A configurable actuation-orientation valve () includes a valve body () including a valve bore () and a coil (), a first port () and a third port () located at a first end () and a second port () located at a second end (), a pole piece (), an armature () configured to move in response to energization of the coil (), and a biasing device () between the pole piece () and the armature (). When the biasing device () is selected to provide a normally-closed biasing force to the armature () then the configurable actuation-orientation valve () comprises a normally-closed (NC) valve and when the biasing device () is selected to provide a normally-open biasing force to the armature () then the configurable actuation-orientation valve () comprises a normally-open (NO) valve.
