Usually this minimum pressure will be between 20 and 25psi. It should be in the manufacturers notes.

There are solenoids that can work at very low pressures. In 2015, we used solenoids rated for 15psi minimum at 12psi without a problem. Just make sure the solenoids you are using are within (or close to) spec.
