## Description

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 Specifications Model – FIT0498 Rated Voltage – 12V DC Rated Current – 0.42A Working Pressure – 0.02–0.8 MPa Static Pressure Rating – 2.0 MPa Liquid Temperature – 0–60°C Relative Humidity – Up to 95% Protection Rating – IP00 (not sealed against dust or water ingress on the electrical side) Service Life – ≥200,000 cycles Dimensions – 70 × 57 × 45 mm Weight – 116 g Ideal For Automated garden and agriculture irrigation systems Aquaponics and hydroponics water control Fishery and aquarium water management DIY home automation water flow projects 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.
