U.S. Solid Motorized Ball Valve - PVC - Full Port - 9-36V AC/DC - 2-Wire Auto-Return

U.S. Solid UPVC Motorized Ball Valve Series: 1/2", 3/4", and 1" NPT Models

Product Line Overview

The U.S. Solid UPVC Motorized Ball Valve Series offers a corrosion-resistant and cost-effective automated flow control solution for a wide range of residential, commercial, and light industrial applications. Engineered with a focus on chemical inertness and safety, these electric ball valves are ideal for managing water and other compatible fluids where metal valves are susceptible to corrosion. The series includes 1/2-inch, 3/4-inch, and 1-inch NPT models, providing a scalable solution for various pipe diameters and system demands.

Core Features & Technical Specifications

All valves within this UPVC line are built to a consistent standard of performance and safety, characterized by the following specifications:

• Valve Body Material: Manufactured from Unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride (UPVC), a rigid, high-strength plastic known for its superior chemical resistance and durability compared to standard PVC. It is inherently lead-free, making it safe for potable water applications.

• Certifications: Certified to NSF/ANSI 61, CE, and RoHS standards, ensuring material safety, environmental compliance, and suitability for drinking water.

• Port Design: Full Port (Full Bore) design. The internal bore diameter matches the pipe size, minimizing flow resistance and pressure drop across the valve.

• Thread Standard: National Pipe Tapered (NPT) threads, ensuring compatibility with standard North American piping systems.

• Actuation Type: 2-Wire Auto Return, Normally Closed configuration. The valve opens when powered and automatically returns to the closed position upon loss of power, a critical fail-safe feature.

• Voltage Compatibility: Broad operating range of 9-36V AC/DC, offering exceptional flexibility for integration with a wide array of power supplies, controllers, and automation systems.

• Actuation Time: Rapid and reliable operation, opening or closing within 3-5 seconds. An internal limit switch cuts power once fully open or closed, preventing coil burnout and making it ideal for extended open periods.

• Operating Pressure: Rated for a maximum operating pressure of 145 PSI (10 Bar).

• Temperature Range: Suitable for fluid temperatures from 34°F to 131°F (1°C to 55°C).

• Life Expectancy: Designed for a long service life of 50,000 to 80,000 cycles.

• Seal Material: PTFE (Teflon) seals, ensuring a leak-proof closure and excellent chemical compatibility.

• Waterproof Rating: IP65 rated, providing full protection against dust and water jets from any direction.

Model-Specific Details

Key Advantages

• Superior Corrosion Resistance: The UPVC body is highly resistant to a wide range of chemicals, acids, and alkalis, making it unsuitable for applications where stainless steel or brass would corrode.

• Lightweight and Easy to Install: The plastic construction makes the valve significantly lighter than metal equivalents, simplifying handling and installation.

• Lead-Free and Safe: The inherent lead-free material is certified for use in potable water systems, ensuring water safety.

• Energy Efficient: Power is only consumed during the actuation cycle, not while holding the valve in an open or closed position.

Ideal Applications

This product line is particularly well-suited for use in:

• Potable Water Systems

• Chemical Dosing and Metering

• Irrigation and Agricultural Systems

• Aquaculture and Hydroponics

• Water Treatment and Filtration

• Pool and Spa Chemical Control

• Laboratory and Process Equipment

Summary

The U.S. Solid UPVC Motorized Ball Valve Series provides a robust, chemically inert, and certified-safe solution for automated flow control in demanding environments. By combining a durable UPVC body, a full-port design, and a versatile auto-return actuator, this product line is an excellent choice for systems where corrosion resistance and water safety are paramount. The availability of 1/2", 3/4", and 1" sizes ensures an optimal fit for a broad spectrum of piping requirements, from small-scale residential projects to larger commercial applications.
