Motorized Brass or Stainless Steel Water Shutoff Valve with Feedback

• Pin It

Remotely control your water supply valve to avoid thousands of dollars in damages due to water leaks or frozen pipes. Perfect for vacation homes or any property that is unoccupied for extended periods of time.  Whole house automatic water shutoff valves may also allow discounted rates on your homeowners insurance.  

Use this valve with INSTEON, Z-wave, Zigbee, X10 or the automation technology of your choice or create your own hard wired system for motorized valve control.  Compatible 12 volt power supply available here at extra cost.  Contact us with your questions.

Beware of inferior, cut-rate valves without feedback.  Unlike most others, this valve will even confirm when it’s in the fully closed or fully open position using dry contact closures (see illustration). No more guessing!

Motorized 3-way valves are also available by special order.  Contact us for pricing and availability.

Overview

Sinks, toilets, bathtubs, showers, refrigerators, dishwashers, washing machines, water heaters and toilets are all areas for potential leaks.   Older or frozen pipes, weakened connections, valve failures, earthquakes, and many other causes can turn a minor leak into big problems in minutes. These leaks can result in mold buildup behind walls and even damage structural elements of your home. Use this electrically operated shutoff valve to turn off the water where it enters your home whenever you're away.

The use of an automated water shutoff valve with leak sensors may qualify you to receive a discount on your home owner's insurance.

Note: Brass valves have not been certified under NSF Standard 61, Section 9 for plumbing used for potable water.  We recommend using stainless steel valves for potable water installations.

This full port ball valve is operated by a powerful yet safe low voltage DC motor. Unlike most other valves sold for water supply shutoff this unit provides feedback in the fully open or fully closed position via contact closure. The valve can be powered from a 12 Volt DC power supply (minimum 500ma) or battery (not included). The motorized actuators used with these valves automatically turn themselves off when the open or closed position is reached and will remain in that position in the event of a power failure. Power is consumed only when the valve is in motion.  Actuators are extremely reliable, rated for 70,000 cycles, can be replaced without even turning off the water.

Use with the INSTEON I/OLinc or Zooz ZEN17 low voltage module to provide INSTEON or Z-Wave control for your shutoff valve. (see wiring diagram)  When linked with an INSTEON controller the valve can be controlled remotely and /or automatically.  See our INSTEON Water Shutoff Valve Package Deal for everything needed to control this valve using INSTEON technology or Z-Wave Water Shutoff Valve Package to control this valve using Z-Wave technology.

For example:

• Link to a KeypadLinc to control the water shutoff valve from another location in your home.
• Link to an INSTEON automation controller like the Insteon Hub to control the shutoff valve from anywhere in the world from your mobile device or based on the time of day or day of the year.
• Link to an INSTEON Leak Sensor to automatically shut off water if a leak is detected.

Solid brass ball valve body is suitable for many applications, stainless steel is recommended for potable water.  Includes visual position indicator and manual override knob.

Note: Some local plumbing codes may require special certification for products used in potable water applications. Check local codes before purchase.
