U.S. Solid 1/2" Motorized Ball Valve - 9-24V DC Brass Electric Valve, Normally Closed (N.C.), Full Port, 5-WIRE Control with Open/Closed Signal Output
Product Description
U.S. Solid 1/2" Motorized Ball Valve - 9-24V DC Brass Electric Valve, Normally Closed (N.C.), Full Port, 5-WIRE Control with Open/Closed Signal Output
- FULL PORT BRASS BODY: The 1/2 inch NPT full-port brass valve has a 15 mm bore for full flow with minimal pressure drop on water, air, oil, and gas lines; the brass body contains lead and is not for potable or drinking water
- 9-24 V DC MOTORIZED ACTUATION: Runs on 9-24 V DC at 5 W and drives fully open or closed in 6 to 8 seconds with 6 Nm of torque; the motor draws power only while moving, so after reaching position its low power draw helps reduce heat buildup
- 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
- NORMALLY CLOSED OPERATION: Ships in the closed position and opens only when energized, keeping lines shut by default for automatic isolation and leak control in unattended irrigation, HVAC, and water transfer systems
- IP65 RATED DURABILITY: The IP65 enclosure resists dust and water spray, and PTFE and silicone seats with a brass body handle up to 1.0 MPa (145 psi) for a rated 80,000 to 100,000 cycles of reliable service
This ½" brass 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 durable brass. 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. Brass is a great option for irrigation systems, flood monitor systems, and a variety of other uses. Lastly, all of the U.S. Solid motorized ball valves work well with Arduino automation systems.
