Description
Description
This liquid valve is normally closed and has 1/2″ (Nominal non-taped National Pipe) outlets on each end. The solenoid will open the valve when 12V is applied across the two terminals. Please note: Liquid can only flow in one direction through this valve. Also, there is a 3PSI minimum pressure requirement due to the gasket arrangement inside. The electrical connections are 1/4″ spade terminals.
Please Note: These are not food safe or for use with chemicals.

Marcio –
How many ohms or amperage does it have?
Chris @ BCR –
Approximately 37.5 Ohms, 320mA at 12VDC

I want to use this in a garden watering project, but can’t find adaptors from its thread to a garden hose thread. Did you have to hack something together or were you able to source adaptors? Thanks.
Chris @ BCR –
We have found 1/2″ Nominal Non-Taped National Pipe to garden hose adapters at one of the local hardware stores here. Try looking for someone who carries drip irrigation components – they tend to have this kind of part!

hi sir. good day, I want to ask if this solenoid specification suitable for this project?
Specifications:
—> Voltage : 220V AC
—> Inlet and outlet : hose barbs for 1/2″ (outer diameter) hose
—> Pressure : 0.02 – 0.8Mpa
thank you..
Chris @ BCR –
This will not work with 220VAC unfortunately – rated to 12V DC
Windelyn –
hi sir, is there a way that you can suggest in order for our available solenoid valve to work ?
Chris @ BCR –
You would need to have a look at the manufacturerās datasheet ā if it needs 220VAC to run I would highly recommend getting an electrician involved.
gs –
Is it weather protected or for interior use only.
Chris @ BCR –
The solenoid valve can definitely be used outdoors, but we do recommend protecting it from direct exposure to the elements.
Dan –
Do this give constant water flow, or its flow rate can be adjusted by some interface?
