This ¾” 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 sturdy brass, which is safe and reliable. 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 most 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 fully 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. Lastly, all of the U.S. Solid motorized ball valves work well with Arduino automation systems.
