This 12V normally closed solenoid valve controls water flow through a 1/2″ (DN15) inlet and outlet. It remains closed when unpowered and opens when 12V is applied — no polarity distinction is required. Pair it with a Gravity Water Flow Sensor (1/2″) for real-time flow monitoring in automated systems.

Built with a stainless steel spring and rated for at least 200,000 cycles, the valve is designed for long service life. The valve terminal direction can be adjusted to suit your plumbing layout. It operates within a working pressure of 0.02–0.8 MPa and can withstand up to 2.0 MPa static pressure.

Key Features

  • Normally Closed Operation – Closes when unpowered, opens at 12V DC
  • No Polarity – Connect either wire to positive or negative
  • 1/2″ (DN15) Connections – Standard half-inch threaded inlet and outlet
  • Long Service Life – Rated for ≥200,000 cycles
  • Adjustable Orientation – Valve terminal direction can be rotated to suit your installation

Package Contents

  • 1× 12V Solenoid Valve (1/2″)
Note: This valve is rated IP00, meaning the electrical connections are not sealed against dust or moisture. If installing outdoors or in wet environments, ensure the wiring and coil are appropriately housed or protected. A relay or MOSFET is required to switch the valve from a microcontroller — do not drive directly from a GPIO pin.
