When a solenoid valve says "max operating pressure" – what does tha that mean?
July 6th, 2009 | 
Author: Does this mean the valve will blow apart if you use more pressure? Or does it mean it simply won’t open/close properly? Thank you.
As stated before, this will mean leaks may occur. If they don’t, then you’re lucky. You should have a relief valve to ensure that your system doesn’t see pressures at the minimum m.o.p. of all the equipment.
how much should it cost to replace the purge solenoid valve in a 2003 neon?

you will destroy the solenoid if you exceed that pressure. It won’t blow apart, but it will leak.

The max operating pressure is the max pressure it can take before leaks occur. Of course if you exceed this by enough pressure you can have an explosion unless you have a pressure relief somewhere else in the system and it pops first and relieves pressure.

As indicated above. Additionally, valves will be rated for its "burst pressure", the pressure by which it will blow apart. This is especially important in applications where the pressure may be high enough to blow up valves.
