U.S. Solid 1" 12V DC Normally Closed Solenoid Valve, VITON gasket
The U.S. Solid electric solenoid valve features a stainless steel body, suitable for outdoor but not underwater use. It's favored by customers for DIY projects, moderate temperature and chemical applications, as well as for controlling flow in irrigation, reverse osmosis, and motorcycle systems.
Direction of the Flow
Most U.S. Solid Valves are UNIDIRECTIONAL
Make a note of the arrow on your valve. Most U.S. Solid valves are unidirectional. This means they are intended to flow in one direction only, in the direction of the arrow. If connected in opposite directions, the valve will not actuate properly (will not close for Normally Closed valves). Additionally, be sure the medium passing through is filtered. If not, particles will cling to the gasket over time, which can cause it to not seal properly.
THREADING
U.S. Solid Valves follow National Standards for pipe thread. We suggest the use of Teflon tape to ensure the seal of the NPT threading. The tapered male and female thread form angled surfaces that with increased torque squeeze the Teflon tape resulting in a tight seal.
OVERHEATING
These valves should be energized for less than 8 hours. While most do not have more than 18W of power, the coils are in a contained area and can burn out if energized for too long. We suggest a computer fan to keep the coil cool if necessary to energize continuously for extended periods.
POLARITY
- For valves with 2 wires, the valve will actuate regardless of which terminal each wire is connected to (+ or -). Some units include a ground wire. Open up the connector and look for the ground symbol (as shown in the corner).
- For valves with a ground wire, please be sure to ground the valve.
GASOLINE and PRESSURE WARNING
- NBR gaskets should not be used with gasoline, kerosene, or other petroleum products. If your valve requires contact with these substances, opt for one with a VITON gasket.
- All solenoid valves need some pressure to actuate. This is especially true of pilot or indirectly operated valves.

Used on a spot sprayer. Bought three for less than the price of one teejet.

Used this to replace a neutrasalt flushing valve on a boat that had corroded shut. This replacement works great and is brass so less chance of sea salt corrosion ;)

The fact it did not state it requires a small amount of pressure to open. I did send it back and seller did refund me , but I did not get the 35 dollars for custom, duty and brokerage fees returned or the 15 dollars it cost to send it back. Amazon customer service did not help either so BEWARE of the satisfaction guarantee it does not work.

It gets really hot. It starts leaking at around 50 psi in my set up. Does not look like it can hold up to 100 psi as the description says.
