Source for 12V Solenoid Valve

[rEd86]

Greetings.

I am looking to make some fail-safe improvements to my auto top-off system and wanted to add a 12V Solenoid Valve. Does anyone know of a source for some that have threaded in/out? I'd like to incorporate some barbed fittings and want some flexibility on what I use.

TIA!

Ed,
Here is where I got mine. They do have 12v dc valves. About $24.66 each.

OK, only 480,000 products! Do you have a part number I can search on? All the solenoids that I found didn't look right and they were WAY more expensive.

Thanks!

Ed, Kevin gave you the part number, it is # 7877K5. These have 1/8" NPT threaded connections, so you can put on some 1/8" NPT x 1/4" Quick Connect for RO tubing, and you are good. I would definitely get the 120V ones and I would also get a 120V relay, Radio Shack part number 275-217 (unless you have a controller that can handle the digital inputs). Anyways, if you were able to make it to the meeting, I was going to show how to create one!

DUH! My bad Kevin, sorry about that. Don't know how I overlooked that.

Yea Chris, I figured you'd be going over all them at the meeting. My wife teaches a class on Thursday nights right now so I can't make it.

Ed, if you want, I will be doing a complete write up about it to hand out. Do you want a copy?

[rEd86]

That would be great. Also take some pictures and we'll post an article on the site in the members section.

Exactly what I was going to do!

Will anyone be bringing one of these valves to the meeting? I don't have any extra, but could take one out of my system to bring it?

[30mini]

I'll be bringing one Steve.

Chris, could I get a copy of the hand out too?

[30mini]

I will post it on the site for easy access for all.
