A 1" motorized ball valve in stainless steel by U.S. Solid is sturdy enough for industrial use, yet affordable for the home DIY'er. The valve stem and body are comprised of SS304 stainless steel, which is lead free and drinking water safe. To actuate the valve, simply provide 9-24V of DC power, and watch as the valve opens or closes in 3-5 seconds. This valve will automatically de-energize once fully open or fully close. This means it will never overheat, no matter how long you keep it connected. Solenoid valves are a common item for many tinkerers, but most of these valves are constantly energized. This is one of the big advantages of a motorized ball valve.
The valve if a full port. If you are using it in a system where minimizing pressure drop is vital, or with a mixture of materials, full port is a necessity. Full port means the bore in the valve is 1". This keeps pressure changes negligible when passing through the valve.
The durability of this valve is found in the casing, as well. Its ingress protection rating of IP65 means it is sealed to protect against particles as small as dust, and can withstand water spray from any direction. All of this means that your 1in stainless steel motorized ball valve from U.S. Solid will keep your project rolling.
Hobbyists and industrialists alike have found many different uses for motorized ball valves. Individuals that brew their own beer often need dozens of these valves, which makes the affordability of U.S. Solid valves especially enticing. Specifications

- 2-WIRE REVERSE POLARITY - The solenoid valve operates on a 2-wire reverse polarity mechanism. The valve gets activated and opens when the two wires are connected. Conversely, when these wires are connected inversely, the valve closes. However, if the wires are disconnected, the valve remains static and neither opens nor closes.
- NPT THREADING-1” thread, manufactured and measured according to National Pipe Thread standards; This electrical ball valve is full port, meaning the bore in the ball is a full 1”; This minimizes pressure loss through the valve; Great option for home breweries
- 9V-24V DC- Works effectively over entire voltage range; Will open or close valve in 3-5 seconds; Limit switch cuts off power after valve is fully open or fully closed; Ideal for projects where an automatic return to the closed position is not desired
- RELIABLE AND SAFE- The metal components of this ball valve are made entirely of 304 stainless steel; This valve is even safe for drinking water; With an expected life of 800,000 to 100,000 cycles, this valve will be a mainstay in your home
- ALTERNATIVE TO SOLENOID VALVES- Automatically cuts off power once fully open or fully closed; This reduces likelihood of overheating, making it a great alternative to solenoid valves for projects where a valve needs to be open for an extended period of time
