U.S. Solid 1/2" Motorized Ball Valve - Brass Ball Valve with Full Port, 9-24V DC, 2 Wire Reverse Polarity, Normally Closed
Product Description
U.S. Solid 1/2" Motorized Ball Valve - Brass Ball Valve with Full Port, 9-24V DC, 2 Wire Reverse Polarity, Normally Closed
- 2-WIRE REVERSE POLARITY - The solenoid valve operates on a 2-wire reverse polarity mechanism. The valve gets activated and opens when the two wires are connected. Conversely, when these wires are connected inversely, the valve closes. However, if the wires are disconnected, the valve remains static and neither opens nor closes.
- NPT THREADING-1/2” thread, manufactured and measured according to National Pipe Thread standards; This electrical ball valve is full port, meaning the bore in the ball is a full 1/2”; This minimizes pressure loss through the valve; Home automation systems integrate beautifully with this ball valve
- 9V-24V DC- Works effectively over entire voltage range; Will open or close valve in 3-5 seconds; Limit switch cuts off power after valve is fully open or fully closed; Ideal for projects where an automatic return to the closed position is not desired
- RELIABLE AND SAFE- Most metal in this valve is made of brass; This durable metal is built to last; This valve comes rated with an 80,000-1000,000 cycle lifespan
- ALTERNATIVE TO SOLENOID VALVES- Automatically cuts off power once fully open or fully closed; This reduces likelihood of overheating, making it a great alternative to solenoid valves for projects where a valve needs to be open for an extended period of time
This motorized ball valve is ½" in diameter and made of solid brass. It is strong enough for industrial applications, but inexpensive enough for individuals to buy. The body and stem are made of high quality brass.
The valve can be actuated by 9V-24V of direct current power, and will open or close fully in 3-5 seconds. Once fully closed or fully opened, the valve automatically de-energizes, meaning it will never overheat. While many people use solenoid valves for home projects, many of them are constantly energized, which, in combination with the solenoid being enclosed, can lead to overheating. This is one of the attributes that makes motorized ball valve such a good alternative.
This particular valve is full port, so the bore in the ball is a full ½" as well. If being used in an application with high sensitivity to drops in pressure, full port valves are a necessity. This valve is rated for 2 N m of torque on the stem. While often overlooked, the stem is a source of failure in many valves, and this durability is a key feature of U.S. Solid motorized ball valves. Additionally, an ingress protection rating of IP65 means this valve will not be the fail point in your project.
There are many different potential uses for motorized ball valves. One of the most common is in home automation. Used in conjunction with an Arduino or other controller, these valves can help manage irrigation systems, aquaponic systems, or hot water recirculation. They are also a valuable asset to those that brew beer at home. Specifications
