Anself Water Oil Pump, Ultra-Quiet Mini 4.8W DC12V Micro Submersible Water Pump, for Fish Tank Aquarium Fountain Flowerpot

This 1/4'' stainless steel motorized ball valve from U.S. Solid comes in a water safe stainless steel. It is a great option for the DIY project, but strong enough for big businesses. The stem and body of the valve are comprised of SS304 stainless steel, which is safe for drinking water. This is key, since many people use these valves in their home water systems.
The valve actuates with 9-24V of AC or DC power. When energized, it will open fully in 3-5 seconds. Since this valve is a normally closed (N/C) ball valve, it will automatically return to a closed position when the power source is eliminated. When fully opened, a limit switch keeps the amount of power used by the valve to a miniscule levels. This makes it a much more environmentally friendly option than most solenoid valves. Most solenoid valves are fully energized when opened, which can lead to problems and overheating when run continuously. This valve draws such low levels of power once fully opened that it can be run continuously and never overheat.
The stem on this valve comes with a robust torque rating of 2 N m. This is important, though often overlooked. The stem is a frequent point of failure for valves, and having a strong stem helps to ensure a lifetime of quality performance.
There are many different potential uses for this motorized ball valve. While not quick acting, it is sturdy and resilient once energized. They can also work effectively even with gravity flow operations, such as those used in some auxiliary fuel tank setups.

SAFE AND RELIABLE – Made from SS304 stainless steel and NSF certified, this ball valve is safe for drinking water. It has a lifespan of 80,000 to 100,000 cycles.
NPT THREADING – ¼" stainless steel threading, manufactured and measured according to National Pipe Thread (NPT) standards. This standard-port electrical ball valve features a bore slightly less than ¼”, minimizing pressure loss—ideal for home automation projects.
9V-24V AC/DC – Operates effectively across the entire voltage range; opens or closes the valve in 3-5 seconds. The limit switch reduces power consumption once the valve is fully open, making it ideal for projects requiring automatic return.
2-WIRE AUTOMATIC RETURN SETUP – Simple two-wire connection; the valve largely de-energizes after opening and returns to fully closed if power is removed.
ALTERNATIVE TO SOLENOID VALVES – Automatically cuts off power once fully open or closed, reducing the risk of overheating. Ideal for projects requiring a valve to remain open for extended periods. OUTDOOR INSTALLATION TIP – If permanently installed outdoors, it is recommended to place the valve under a shelter or inside a protective box to prevent prolonged exposure to rain.
