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.
