Its NSF-certified 304SS construction guarantees safety for potable water, a critical factor often overlooked in local alternatives. The auto-return function ensures your system defaults to a safe closed state during power outages, preventing potential leaks and water damage. With a full port design and PTFE seal, it offers efficient flow and durability, outperforming standard solenoid valves that can overheat during extended operation. The IP65 rating means it can withstand dusty environments and water splashes, making it versatile for various installations. **Ideal for DIY & Industrial Use, Consider Local Alternatives for Specific Needs** — This valve is perfect for home automation projects, garden irrigation, or industrial fluid control where automatic shut-off and safe materials are paramount. If you require specific thread types like BSPT for direct integration into Indian plumbing without adapters, or if your application involves extremely high pressures beyond 1.0 MPa, consider sourcing locally manufactured valves that may offer direct compatibility or specialized ratings. For basic on/off control in non-potable water applications, simpler manual brass valves might be a more cost-effective choice. ## How to use 1. Install the 1" ball valve into your existing pipework, ensuring compatibility with NPT threads or using appropriate adapters for BSP/BSPT fittings. Mount it in the desired orientation, noting the flow direction if applicable. — Mount the Valve 2. Connect the two wires to a 9-24V AC/DC power source. Ensure the power supply is appropriate for the valve's low power consumption (5W max) and consider a circuit that can be controlled or interrupted for automatic shut-off. — Connect Power 3. Apply power to open the valve (6-8 seconds). Check the position indicator. Remove power to test the auto-return function, ensuring it closes securely. Test the manual override if necessary. — Test Operation ## Product details | Field | Value | |---|---| | Ball Seal Material | PTFE | | Body Material | SS304 Stainless Steel | | Certifications | NSF Certified | | Power Requirement | 9-24V AC/DC | | Serving Size | N/A | | Cost per use | 1 valve at ₹10,451 — ₹10,451 per valve | | Shelf life after opening | N/A (Durable Product) | | Reapplication math | N/A (Durable Product) | | Contraindications | Applications requiring thread types other than NPT without adapters; pressures exceeding 1.0 MPa; temperatures outside 0°C-100°C (medium) or -5°C-40°C (ambient). | | Allergens / common irritants | None listed | | Valve Material | SS304 Stainless Steel | | Ball Seal | PTFE | | Thread Type | NPT | | Thread Size | 1 Inch (25mm) | | Port Type | Full Port | | Working Voltage | 9-24V AC/DC | | Max Power | 5 W | | Max Torque | 2.5 N m | | Max Pressure | 1.0 MPa (10 bar / 145 PSI) | | Flow Medium Temperature Range | 0°C to 100°C | | Ambient Temperature Range | -5°C to 40°C | | Enclosure Rating | IP65 | | Life Expectancy | 80,000-100,000 Cycles | | Actuation Time | 6-8 Seconds | | Return Type | Normally Closed (Auto Return) | | Connector Type | 2 Wire | | Color | Stainless Steel | | Item Weight | 0.55 kg (1.21 lbs) | | Dimensions (L x W x H) | 10 cm x 8 cm x 8 cm | | Country of Origin | Not stated by manufacturer — US retail version, sourced from authorized US retailers | ## Frequently asked questions ### Is this U.S. Solid motorized ball valve safe for drinking water in India? Yes, this valve is NSF certified for potable water, meaning its SS304 stainless steel construction is safe for drinking water systems. It meets stringent standards for materials used in contact with drinking water, ensuring no harmful substances leach into your supply. ### How does the auto-return function work on this motorized ball valve? The valve features a 2-wire auto-return setup. When power is applied, it opens within 6-8 seconds. If power is removed, it automatically returns to a closed position, which is crucial for preventing leaks and flooding in water systems during power outages. ### Can I use this motorized ball valve with Indian plumbing fittings? This valve uses NPT threading, which is common in the US. Indian plumbing often uses BSP or BSPT threads. You may need to use appropriate thread adapters to connect this valve to your existing Indian pipework. Verify your thread type before purchasing. ### What is the difference between this valve and a solenoid valve? This motorized ball valve is an alternative to solenoid valves. It minimizes power consumption once fully open, preventing overheating during extended operation. Solenoid valves often require continuous power and can overheat if left open for long periods, making this motorized option more energy-efficient and safer for continuous use. ### What is the best valve for controlling water flow automatically? For automatic water flow control, especially in systems where power outages are a concern, a motorized ball valve with an auto-return function like this U.S. Solid model is highly recommended. It offers safety, efficiency, and durability for both home and industrial applications. ### How do I choose a ball valve for my project? Consider the valve material (SS304 for potable water), thread type (NPT or BSPT), port size (1" here), pressure rating (1.0 MPa), and voltage (9-24V AC/DC). For automatic control, look for motorized valves with auto-return features. Ensure the valve's specifications match your system's requirements. ### Are there any side effects of using this motorized ball valve? There are no direct side effects from using this valve. However, ensure it is installed correctly with compatible fittings and within its specified pressure and temperature ranges to prevent operational issues or leaks. Always follow safety guidelines for electrical and plumbing installations. ### What are the benefits of using a motorized ball valve? Motorized ball valves offer automated control, remote operation capabilities, and safety features like auto-return on power loss. They are more energy-efficient than solenoid valves for extended open periods and provide a reliable solution for managing fluid flow in various applications. ## Compliance No product-specific compliance warnings identified.
