eggzlot Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Do you have sensors to sense water? Flo works. I use water cop. They sell sensors too but i use the water sensors from my dsc alarm SMHarman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveva Posted July 7, 2020 Author Share Posted July 7, 2020 Im not looking at leak detection just looking for a simple valve on a single line to turn the water on for a period of time and then off. Like a sprinkler system but one valve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Africa C4 user Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Flo by Moen would do it but is an expensive way of doing this. I have Flo. I also have some cheap valve (probably is a sprinkler valve) that my dealer has wired into a Z2IO for turning on and off water on another line. This valve has been wired to be NC and this particular line goes to an autofiller that has an auto stop on it. Thus, failure of the valve would not be serious. If failure was a concern then I would probably have used another Flo valve. SMHarman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAV Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Yes. There are inline ball valves from plumbing supply warehouses that you can use, various voltage control options, some are auto open, others auto close, others dual triggers. Example:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06WWR1FRK/ref=twister_B06X9GJ6FT?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 (edit - corrected the link, as mentioned stainless for potable water) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, I didn't catch that the bookmark I had auto linked to brass as default. Edited link for stainless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brass is fine for other needs and we don't know what the needs are... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAV Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 On 7/9/2020 at 8:58 PM, daveva said: Can this valve be wired directly into my controller Sure if it's got a relay built in (not an EA1/CA1). 12volt supply: neg to valve, positive to COM, NO to valve. Programming, close relay powers valve and water flows. Open relay (or power outage) and valve auto closes. Other valves have 2 relay connections. One to open and one to close, so depends on your usage and what you want to happen if the power goes out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
