12V Solenoid Valve DN15 1/2 Inch

This DFRobot solenoid valve switches water with 12 V DC. It is normally closed and opens as long as voltage is applied; polarity does not matter. Together with a flow sensor the amount of water can be measured and controlled, for example for automatic irrigation or an aquarium.

Caution: It can never be ruled out that the valve or the hose fails during irrigation. We do not cover any costs caused by water damage.

Important: The valve only closes reliably within the working pressure of 0.02 to 0.8 MPa (0.2 to 8 bar). It is not suitable for unpressurised lines, for example from a rain barrel.
