Another random item from eBay's huge array of useful industrial components from the orient. This time it's a 12V DC solenoid operated water valve. This one has the bonus features of an easily removable filter screen and a one-way anti-backflow valve.
As with most of these components I'd suggest not using them in a mission-critical application or where failure could cause an expensive flood. But for prototyping and testing designs these common components are a good option.

Thank you for the explanaion. Now I know why they don't work unless there's lots of pressure. I need to open and close a tap that has no pressure!
I use a lawn sprinkler valve to turn off all my water in the house until I need it. My water system leaks everywhere and I can't afford to replace it. So, rather than let the house be destroyed and my water bill go to extremes, I put the valve on my water intake. It has worked for several years, now.
I am a heatpump technician work i whit so many different technical thing's looks a lot of what you do in the Dutch I like your video's
Pressure difference will close the valve
meHOGn good performance
Same princip used in refrigeration.
Excellent video.
Do you know if those kind of valves can be used in a low pressure water system?
I need to control the out of an IBC water tank and this might handy, but I'm afraid the water pressure would not be enough to make it fully operational.
Thank you.
When I lived in England, I had a few just like this. In the states, I can't find one at the same cost with US threads.
water might push open and coil shuts off?
You missed out on the "easy to remove and clean FIlter".
Does this water solenoid valve require water pressure to operate the closing and
opening of the valve? Thanks
brilliant explaination
Thank you big clive
Still watching… but did you mistake inlet for outlet… seems like the inlet would be before the shutoff mechanism and the clean out would be after the shut off mech and before the outlet… back to the video lol
Did I miss something? Is it connected to the mains power through a power adapter? And how does it know when to go and stop. I'll have to watch again
Is it reliable ? Should i trust it from ebay ? Or i will get a water leakage?
Thank You
