U.S. Solid 1" Motorized Ball Valve - NSF Certified 304 Stainless Steel Electric Valve, Normally Closed (N.C.), 9-24V DC, 5-Wire Control with Built-in Visual Open/Closed Position Indicator, Full Port
Product Description
U.S. Solid 1" Motorized Ball Valve - NSF Certified 304 Stainless Steel Electric Valve, Normally Closed (N.C.), 9-24V DC, 5-Wire Control with Built-in Visual Open/Closed Position Indicator, Full Port
- NSF Certified 304 Stainless Steel for Lead-Free Safety: Crafted from premium NSF-Certified 304SS, this motorized ball valve is the ultimate food-grade solution for potable water, home brewing, and sensitive hydroponic systems. It offers superior corrosion resistance and ensures your water supply remains pure, safe, and lead-free.
- High-Flow 1" Full Port Design: The 1-inch NPT stainless steel threading and full port design ensure the internal bore matches the pipe diameter. This maximizes flow rate and provides zero pressure drop, making it ideal for high-volume irrigation, HVAC, and industrial liquid management with an 80,000–100,000 cycle lifespan.
- Fail-Safe Normally Closed (N.C.) Operation: Engineered for maximum system security, this normally closed electric valve remains shut until powered, preventing accidental flow or leaks during power outages. It’s an essential component for automated shut-off systems, emergency water control, and leak prevention.
- Advanced 5-Wire Control & Energy Efficiency: The 5-wire configuration provides a robust control interface for 9-24V DC systems. Equipped with an internal limit switch, the valve automatically cuts power once fully open or closed, eliminating the overheating risks common in traditional solenoid valves.
- Instant Visual Status Confirmation: Features a high-visibility built-in indicator window on top of the actuator. This allows for immediate physical verification of the valve’s open or closed position—no need for external sensors or control panels to know your system's status at a glance.
This1" 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.
