U.S. Solid Motorized Ball Valve- 1/2" Brass Ball Valve with Full Port, 9-24V AC/DC and 2 Wire Auto Return Setup

Pricey but solid. they work solid and do make the zippy noise. These are not INSTANT. They take a couple of seconds to open or close. Great for RV tanks as you can barely hear them work. I haven't had one malfunction yet with gray water or debris. I got them on multiple tanks under the RV for almost a year, no problems (I do spray silicon lubricant into each valve every 6 month to avoid salt water corrosion). These don't overheat when left ON ( I leave them open all night when the temp drops below freezing) to empty the tanks and avoid ice damage.

Came fast, installed easy, works great.

I used this to control the water for an automatic evaporative cooler setup. It worked perfectly all summer exposed to full sun in 115°+ weather. It did not see much rain so I cannot confirm its water resistance.

Installed this valve in my home automation setup, and it's been working flawlessly. The auto-return feature is great—when the power cuts, it closes automatically, which adds peace of mind. The stainless steel build feels solid, and the full port design doesn't restrict flow. Wiring was straightforward, and it operates quietly. Highly recommend for anyone needing a dependable motorized valve

I've had this valve in service for a couple of months, and I have to say I am very happy. It seems to be working flawlessly. Installation was a breeze, and the only thing I did was reduce the supply voltage from 24V to 12V and add an LED to show when power was applied. The valve still works great since it is rated for 9V to 24V. It's a great choice for the project over a solenoid valve.

This was a strange failure. I have been using this a little over a year. I use this to turn on my sprinklers. Last week, when a energized the valve, it started spraying water as the valve was opening. But once it was open, it sealed. The same thing happened when I closed it. It appears that the seal failed. (I have a video of this failure too if you are interested.). This has been a good valve, so I bought a replacement last week and instilled it today. Everything is working again. The old valve is available if you want me to send it back.

I needed to automate the flush valve our our sediment filter, to open for one minute once a week. Since there was a sprinkler timer nearby I needed a value that was energized to open and automatically closes when deenergized. And because of the large amount of sediment in the flush water I needed a ball valve instead of a solenoid valve. So this particular valve is perfect. I opens quickly when actuated from a standard sprinkler controller, and closes reliably when the sprinkler controller removes power. It has standard 1/2" pipe threads and installs easily. It's worth noting that this valve does not have a way to manually activate it, but I can use the manual mode of the sprinkler controller for that. It's only been installed a few weeks, but so far it's running perfectly.

I purchased several of these 3/4" inch valves in stainless steel. I've worked with US Solid previously, I have two pumps from back in 2019 that still works flawlessly. Out of the valves I received in January 2021, two have malfunctioned after only between 50-70 cycles.. Out of curiosity, I opened the valve cover and found that most the gears inside it are plastic, and not the same plastics as in my older pump. The plastic in my new pumps seem like poorly 3D printed gears, which are almost completely worn out already. I assume that US Solid purchases valves from China for ODM marketing, which means they only slap their own sticker own it and sell it to consumer. This is fairly common practice and usually works quite well. But in this case, they have probably received sub-par valves which has ended in consumer hands. US Solid was quick to rectify this mistake and have given me full return for the valves. If you are in the market for valves, I advice you to buy directly from China(AliExpress) as valves like these go for US10-20. A CWX-25S is the equivalent valve, with manual override and sight glass and it goes for about 22USD plus shipping. Still, I have to praise US Solid's customer service, they were courtious and quick to respond.

Muy bue o y practico artículo y muy buena calidad

動作問題無く自動灌水装置を作れました

excellant Produit

Very fast shipping from the US to Canada, received in a few days. Works great, have it hooked up to the main line Inside going to my underground sprinklers, so water pressure is not always on the outside zone valves. It's hooked up to the Master Valve out or pump 24 volt AC on the controller, When any zone is called for watering, it will open the Main motorized Ball Valve.

Very good
