U.S. Solid Motorized Ball Valve- 1" NSF Certified 304SS Ball Valve with Full Port, 9-24V AC/DC and 2 Wire Auto Return Setup
Product Description
U.S. Solid Motorized Ball Valve- 1" NSF Certified 304SS Ball Valve with Full Port, 9-24V AC/DC and 2 Wire Auto Return Setup
- NSF CERTIFIED 304 STAINLESS STEEL: The metal components are NSF Certified 304 stainless steel that resists corrosion and is safe for drinking water; a lead-free path for potable water and general fluid lines
- 2-WIRE AUTO RETURN NORMALLY CLOSED: A simple two-wire connection opens the valve when energized and automatically returns it to the normally closed position when power is removed; keep it powered to hold open
- 9-24 V AC/DC ACTUATION: Operates across the full 9 to 24 V AC/DC range and drives fully open or fully closed in 6 to 8 seconds; draws 5 W with 6 Nm of torque; low power draw after reaching position helps reduce heat buildup
- FULL PORT UNRESTRICTED FLOW: The full-port bore matches the 1 inch pipe with a 25 mm opening for full, unrestricted flow and minimal pressure drop, suited to water, air, gas, and oil lines in home and irrigation systems
- IP65 RATED AND DURABLE: The IP65 enclosure seals against dust and water spray from all directions; PTFE and silicone seats with an NPT thread deliver a rated service life of 80,000 to 100,000 cycles for years of reliable use
This 1'' stainless steel motorized ball valve from U.S. Solid comes in a water safe stainless steel. It is a great option for the DIY project, but strong enough for big businesses. The stem and body of the valve are comprised of SS304 stainless steel, which is safe for drinking water. This is key, since many people use these valves in their home water systems.
The valve actuates with 9-24V of AC or DC power. When energized, it will open fully in 3-5 seconds. Since this valve is a normally closed (N/C) ball valve, it will automatically return to a closed position when the power source is eliminated. When fully opened, a limit switch keeps the amount of power used by the valve to a miniscule levels. This makes it a much more environmentally friendly option than most solenoid valves. Most solenoid valves are fully energized when opened, which can lead to problems and overheating when run continuously. This valve draws such low levels of power once fully opened that it can be run continuously and never overheat.
The stem on this valve comes with a robust torque rating of 2 N m. This is important, though often overlooked. The stem is a frequent point of failure for valves, and having a strong stem helps to ensure a lifetime of quality performance.
There are many different potential uses for this motorized ball valve. While not quick acting, it is sturdy and resilient once energized. They can also work effectively even with gravity flow operations, such as those used in some auxiliary fuel tank setups.
