U.S. Solid 1/2" Motorized Ball Valve 85-265V AC Brass Electrical Ball Valve, 2 Wire Auto Return Setup Normally Closed (Brass, 1/2")

Worked great as a drain valve on humidifier. Paired with programmable timer to drain/flush water every other hour to prevent calcium buildup in humidifier.

Recently installed a fire pit and needed a valve rated for natural gas. I purchased this to automate the gas flow for a timed cycle, then turn off. Regular solenoid valves had warnings of heating after extended use - not great on natural gas line. Since this unit "turns off" at each end of stroke, not drawing any current, it seemed perfect for the application. The brass body made installation easy with no leaks. Electrical connection was simple, and unit worked from very first try. It's only been a month, but fire pit turns on and off by remote control consistently every time. I am very pleased with the design and operation of this valve.

The media could not be loaded. This valve solved my issue. It works wonderfully attached to a smart plug that controls openning/closing. In the last couple of weeks it began making a snaping repetitive sound as if a cogwheel was skipping (like 45 times before stopping). Still working though. Contacted manufacturer. I bought it again for replacement if this one finally dies.Update: Customer service is amazing! they believe that there was a problem with the motors, they will send me a new valve. Thank You Guys! The other one that I just bought is going to another project.

I have a bad habit of forgetting to turn off my air compressor, so I devised a plan to install a timer switch to automatically shut it down after a few hours should I forget. This valve was the perfect solution to automatically shut off the air supply as well so the tank doesn't loose all of its air over time while it's not in use.So far so good! Opens and closes as it should, doesn't leak. I'm happy. Time will tell on reliability...if it lasts the claimed 80,000+ cycles then it will likely outlast the compressor itself. It is a little pricey for what it is, I do wish they made a lower cost brass version of this valve...stainless was not necessary in my application

llego en buenas condiciones. Lo he probado , funciona muy bien

Use this valve on a air compressor I keep in a small shed feeding lines into my garage. Wired the valve to a remote controlled outlet to open/close it so that my compressor doesn't keep cycling due to any slow leaks in my line. Don't have to leave the garage to turn compressor on/off. It just stays on and I open the valve when I need air, close it when I'm done. I'm happy so far.

Drain valve for a water tank, tested before installing worked great, 1 Mo later removed it and tested, no longer operating

I was skeptical about these valves based on the mixed reviews. I have 2 in service for over a year and they still work as expected. 1 controls the water to my shop and is plumbed before the pressure reducer so it has over 100psi on it, but is only cycled when the power goes out or when I test it. The other controls the air to my shop and is cycled fairly regularly (not daily though) and has 145 psi of air on it. No complaints so far. Buying another for water to a shed.
