Product description
Easy-to-install water valve, works like an electrically operated tap. Optionally with 1/2″ and 3/4″ screw connection.
This universal water valve allows you to automatically top up water in a pond or aquarium, for example. Only when voltage is connected does it let water through.
There are 4 pre-drilled holes at the bottom. If required, you can use these to fix the valve (with self-tappers) to a strip or other flat surface.
Applications
Solenoid valve at safe low voltage
The electric water valve (solenoid valve) operates on safe 12 Volt DC voltage, e.g. from a mains adapter.
When de-energised, the water supply is blocked. If you plug the mains adapter into a water-level control, the water valve will automatically remain open as long as the sensor is wet.
Protecting against dry-running
If the sensor runs dry, a level switch can automatically close the water supply. Of course, all kinds of other applications are possible.
This electric water valve works on the indirect principle, requiring pre-pressure (from the water supply). The coil is cooled by the flowing water. When connecting, pay attention to the direction of flow, indicated by an arrow.
