Are these the same solenoids?

[ua hua]

Can someone tell me if the Burkert 6011A from Aquariumplants.com with the buna seal is the same as the stainless steel one from Freshwater systems? The one at Aquariumplants.com shows what looks like to be the stainless steel model but the cost is $46 compared to the one at freshwater systems is $81.50 so now I wonder if the one at Aquariumplants is the stainless steel model or not. Has anyone ordered this one from AP.com and can you tell me if it's the same as the model 6011A part [HASHTAG]#00463939[/HASHTAG] at freshwater systems. Thanks for your help.

00463938 is the part number for the brass solenoid.
00463939 is the part number for the stainless steel solenoid.

I suspect that the AP.com solenoid is the brass one, and not the stainless steel one.

I do not know why they have that image on their website, it is misleading.

That's kind of what I was thinking when there was such a huge difference in price but then they have a picture which shows a stainless steel model so I don't know. I may just have to call them.

This is correct. I don't think AP.com carries the stainless. They wouldn't sell as many of them as they do at the stainless price.
