U.S. Solid 3/4" Motorized Ball Valve - NSF Certified 304 Stainless Steel Electric Valve, Normally Closed (N.C.), 9-24V DC, 5-WIRE Control with Open/Closed Signal Output, Full Port
Product Description
U.S. Solid 3/4" Motorized Ball Valve - NSF Certified 304 Stainless Steel Electric Valve, Normally Closed (N.C.), 9-24V DC, 5-WIRE Control with Open/Closed Signal Output, Full Port
- 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
- 5-WIRE CONTROL WITH OPEN/CLOSED SIGNAL OUTPUT: Yellow and blue wires drive open and close; removing power holds valve position; green/black and red/black signal wires connect to your PLC, controller, or panel to show whether the valve is open or closed
- 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 3/4 inch pipe with a 20 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 SOLENOID ALTERNATIVE: Rugged enclosure seals against dust and water spray; PTFE and silicone seats with an NPT thread offer 80,000 to 100,000 cycles for irrigation, HVAC loops, water treatment, and home automation
This ¾" stainless steel motorized ball valve is affordable enough for the home hobbyist, while durable enough for titans of industry. The valve body and stem are made of SS304 steel, which is lead free and safe for drinking water. It actuates using 9V to 24V of DC power, and will fully open or fully close in 6-8 seconds. Once in position, it automatically stops using energy. This is important as it will never overheat.This is a key difference between motorized ball valves and solenoid valves. Most solenoid valves are constantly energized, while these electrical ball valves are not, making them a safer and more eco-friendly option.
The attention to detail in this valve extends beyond the metal. The casing is rated as IP65. This ingress protection rating is used to define how well the casing does at sealing. For U.S. Solid motorized ball valves, they have the highest IP rating possible against solids (6), representing a seal that protects against all solids, even dust. For water, the rating (5) represents seal protection against water spray from all directions. This means the casing and body are all built to last.
Motorized ball valves have a variety of interesting and convenient uses. Many choose to use them in home water systems. They are also a great tool for use in home automation projects. Home brewery systems typically need several of these valves, and the SS304 is great for fermented liquids. Lastly, all of the U.S. Solid motorized ball valves work well with Arduino automation systems.
