What is motorized ball valve?
A motorized ball valve is the ball valve that use an electric actuator to open or close its mechanism,this type of valve is ideally suited to remote automatic flow control applications,such as smart home system,industrial water treatment,irrigation,water filters & filtration system,pharmacy,Chemical,Oil application,Fire fighting system,Food process,Electric brewings,water leak detection system,etc.the valve is mainly used for water,if other flow medium,we recommend you trying sample first and see how it works in your application.

Motorized ball valves Introduction
The motorized ball valve is On/Off type valve,it is fully open or fully closed valve by Quarter turn( 90 degree) travel of actuator,and it tells us that the mini motorized ball valve can be opened/closed with very small torque.
Open/Close time: 3-5 seconds,Open/close operation can be very quick and idea for fast response cut-offs,and motorized ball valves also offer a perfect seal performance.
Full port design,big and smooth orifice,full port minimizes the pressue loss through the valve,
Automatically cut off power once fully open or closed,this reduces the likelihood of overheating,can be used for the project that need the valves to be open for an extended period of time.
Meanwhile,mini motorized ball valve can be best economic alternative to solenoid valves,especially when solenoid valves can not work reliably(for example,small orifice problem,low voltage problem,short serviicing life,etc)

How to order the mini motorized ball valves?
As a guide,we need to know Size,Material,Voltage and Wiring for quotation and shipping cost:

1) Size:
1/4" (DN8),1/2"(DN15),3/4"(DN20),1"(DN25),1-1/4"(DN32),1-1/2"(DN40),2"(DN50),
please confirm which size do you want? And which thread connection do you want? NPT or BSP?

2) Voltage:
5V,12V,24V,110V,120V,220V,240V,please confirm what voltage do you want?


3) Wiring
How to wire motorized ball valves?
We provide electric wirng diagram which includes 2 wires,3 wires,5 wires,or wiring with signal feedback,etc,you could install&connect valves very easily.
Wiring with feedback signal,can recognize the remote signal and feedback signal to the intelligent units.

Once opened or closed,the actuator does not continue to draw power due to an internal cutoff,,If a power loss occurs the valve will remain in its current position.
If you need valves with Spring return or Capacitor return function,please select our fail-safe function wiring CR04 or CR2 02,more details please kindly visit http://www.flow-controls.com/news/What-is-fail-safe-or-normally-closed-open-motorized-ball-valve--16.html

Wirings connection job should be operated by qualified electric engieers to guarantee everything safety&successful.

 

Plumbing Installation suggestions:
1) For Maxmam weater protection,the valve should be mounted in a horizontal pipe run with the actuator above the ball valve.
Valves can have the flow pass through in either direction.
2) Water with high particulate may damage the seals of the ball and may require the use of a strainer up stream of the valve,
If a strainer is used it should be flushed regularly.
3) Isolation and bypass valves are also recommened for better maintenance.
If you motorized ball valve ever fails,you may need to be able to bypass it in order to service it.

More other specifications are also available,just tell us the Model, Size,Material,Voltage and Wiring you want,we will recommend the model best suitable for your appllication. 

------------------------------------------------------------
We hereby declare that we provide brand new orginal items,NOT used or refuribished items,do not compare our valves with some other cheap valves.And  below simulation product is not manufactured by our factory,our tofine valve always say NO to below bad quality valves.

1) Bad material,used material rusty valve ball ,this will result in the valve can not work at all,though the valve seems to work correctly at the frist few days.

2) Inferior quality ball valve,short severing life,the valve can not open/close correctly,though the appearance seems OK,but after a few days later,you will find it fail to work eventually.

What is the fail safe function of elecric actuated ball valves?

 Auto-Return (also named fail-safe,normally closed or open(NC or NO,automated return function,motor open-capacitor return)
That is,This actuator is designed so that if power is interrupted to the actuator in the mid-operation,the capacitor will power the valve closed and the valve will not hang-up in the partly open position. The capacitor is quick charging and will fully charge the first time power is applied to the actuator.So it can guarantee the valves will be normally closed even on a complete loss of power),something like spring return of solenoid valves.

If you need the valve automated return to the original position(either open or close),please refer to attached Wiring CR04,the valve is motor-driven open by voltage and motor-driven closed by way of a built in capacitor,this has the benefit of ensuring the valve will close even on a complete loss of power and it only requires 2 wires to power it.
That is,you will have an electrically actuated ball valve without the need for the costly and bulky spring return as tradtitional actuator used,therefore,the great working performance and very affordable price you will enjoy immediately.

* To guarantee the best auto-return working performance,do not open/close the valve frequently and please kindly charge up the valve at least 1 minute when you use the valve for the first time or after long time valve closed.

*  The valves price with actuator return function will be increased at least 6~8USD,and this kind of wiring is not suitalble for frequent open/close application, as the capacitor charge time may effect the valve open/close action.

2)Manual override and visual indicator of valve position:
More details please kindly visit http://www.flow-controls.com/news/What-is-manual-override-for-motorized-ball-valves--32.html
If you need Visual indicator and manual override ,See below button.

What is valve manual override and position indicator window?The Visual indicator(position indicator) can indicate the valve situation,when line is horizontial,the valve open,when vertical ,the valve close;
Manual override:you can operate the valve by hand  in case power fails.

Please kindly note that Manual override operation is forbidden when energizing.
