{"product_id":"plastic-water-solenoid-valve-12v-12-nominal","title":"Plastic Water Solenoid Valve - 12V - 1\/2\" Nominal","description":"\u003cp\u003eControl the flow of fluid using the flow of electrons! This liquid valve would make a great addition to your robotic gardening project. There are two 1\/2\" (Nominal non-taped National Pipe) outlets. Normally, the valve is closed. When 12VDC is applied to the two terminals, the valve opens and water can push through. The valve has a gasket arrangement inside, so there is a minimum pressure requirement of 0.02 Mpa (3 PSI). Also, liquid can only flow one direction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe tried this solenoid at various DC voltages and found we could actuate it down at 6VDC (although it was a little slower to open). Here is the current draw table for various voltages. We suggest a TIP120 or N-Channel power FET with a 1N4001 kickback diode to drive this from a microcontroller pin. For a power supply, our 9V 1A or 12V 1A power adapters will do the job.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you want a beefier water valve, we also carry a brass version which does not have a minimum pressure requirement and can be used with liquid flow in either direction.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVoltage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCurrent\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e6V160 mA\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e7V190 mA\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e8V220 mA\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e9V240 mA\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e10V270 mA\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e11V300 mA\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e12V320 mA\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese solenoids are not rated for food safety or use with anything but water.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cdiv id=\"tab-technical-details-content\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse in\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"col-lg-12 col-md-12 col-sm-12 col-xs-12\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/2\" Nominal NPS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorking Pressure: 0.02 Mpa - 0.8 Mpa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorking Temperature: 1 ℃ - 75 ℃\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResponse time (open): ≤ 0.15 sec\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResponse time (close): ≤ 0.3 sec\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eActuating voltage: 12VDC (but we found it would work down to 6V)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eActuating life: ≥ 50 million cycles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 4.3 oz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 3.3\" x 1.69\" x 2.24\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul id=\"product-files\"\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-lg-2 col-md-3 col-sm-3 col-xs-4\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-lg-2 col-md-3 col-sm-3 col-xs-4\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"The Pi Hut","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53774839054701,"sku":"abg1787257611063","price":4.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0920\/0526\/9869\/files\/plastic-water-solenoid-valve---12v---12-nominal_1.jpg?v=1787257615","url":"https:\/\/www.ruralgoods.shop\/products\/plastic-water-solenoid-valve-12v-12-nominal","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
