A solenoid valve includes a main valve having a valve member which switches over
flow paths by contacting with and separating from valve seats in a valve casing,
a solenoid operating portion to drive the valve member, and a manually-operated
device including an operation rod air-tightly and slidably accommodated in a rod-insertion
hole provided in the valve casing and abuts against an end surface of a movable
iron core to push the movable iron core in its axial direction, and an operating
member movably mounted to a mounting surface of the valve casing to drive the operation rod.
