## Description

This 12V DC solenoid valve controls water flow through a 3/4″ threaded inlet and outlet. It is normally closed — fluid is blocked until 12V is applied to the fast-on spade connectors on the solenoid coil. Connect it to a pressurised water source such as a garden hose or mains supply for automated irrigation, filling, or fluid control projects. This valve requires water pressure to open fully — it is not suitable for gravity-fed systems. It operates at a minimum of approximately 3 PSI and allows around 3 L/min of flow at that pressure. Key Features Normally Closed Operation – Blocks flow when unpowered, opens at 12V DC 3/4″ Threaded Connections – Standard threaded inlet and outlet for common hose and plumbing fittings Fast-On Spade Connectors – Easy wiring to the solenoid coil Pressure-Operated – Requires minimum ~3 PSI water pressure to open Ideal For Automated garden and greenhouse irrigation Aquaponics and hydroponics water management Home automation fluid control systems Microcontroller-driven water dispensing projects Package Contents 1× 12V Solenoid Valve (3/4″) Important: This is not a gravity-feed valve. A pressurised water source (garden hose, mains supply, or pressure pump) is required — low-pressure pumps may not provide sufficient flow. A relay or MOSFET is needed to switch the valve from a microcontroller. Tip: Looking for a different size? See the 12V Solenoid Valve (1/2″) or browse our other solenoid valve options.
