Motorised Ball Valve (Electric)

Can you explain how to wire this valve?

The DEELAT On/Off Motorized Ball Valves are one of the easiest valves to wire. The actuator will come with 3 wires; Blue, Brown, and Black. Blue is negative, Brown is positive, and Black controls the opening and closing of the valve. The blue and brown wire must be receiving power at all times. When the black wire receives positive power it will open the valve and when power is removed it closes the valve. These valves are usually controlled by a switch or controller meaning the black wire must be connected to the switch or controller because its the wire sending a signal to the actuator to open and close.

I'm assuming that 3-point wiring means it needs power to open or close. If power is cut, does the valve stay in the current position?

You are correct, the motorized ball valve with 3-point wiring will need to be powered to open and close. If power is cut the valve will in fact stay in its current position just like you said.

Can you provide a wire diagram for this valve?

The wiring diagram for D1156043 is actually available in the downloadable PDF spec sheet on this page above. Please download the spec sheet to find the diagram.

Are viton seals an option for the 1156043?

The viton seals can certainly be applied on any of our motorized ball valves. D1165060 and other viton o rings can be found by searching for our o ring category in the search bar.

I NEED 2000 PSI RATED

DEELAT does not offer any motorized ball valve that can withstand that amount of pressure.

Is this item feature a manual override?

Many of DEELAT's motorized ball valves have manual override switches; however, this is not one of them. If you have a specific application that requires a motorized ball valve with these specs and a manual override switch, call our sales team.

Does the motorized ball valve handle a steam operation at 11 psi?

The motorized ball valve will not handle a steam operation. This is an electric ball valve that can be used in a wide range of electric setups.

Do you know what the maximum pressure is that can be applied to these motorized valves?

This stainless steel valve body is PN25 pressure rated meaning it will withstand up to 363 PSI.

I like to use this valve in a natural gas line is this valve AGA approved?

We do not have a motorized ball valve that will be compatible with natural gas. The seals are not meant to handle gases and will leak.

What is the life expectancy for these actuators and valves?

The Motorized Ball Valves have a lifetime of 50,000 cycles at 100% open and closing.

What is the temperature rating?

The temperature rating for this motorized ball valve is 2°C to 95°C.

How long is the power cord?

Hello, Joe. It is not really a power core; it's 3 to 5 wires, depending on your wiring type.

are the gears in the actuator made of plastic or metal?

The gears inside of the actuator are made of glass fiber and a heavy duty plastic alloy.

Hello, Do you have the control panel that the valve is wired to? Is it included with the valve ?

We do not have control panels. The valve will be wired to the electrical system in the building where you are installing the valve. If you have any other questions or concerns please do not hesitate to contact us.

Do you sell the switches to operate the motorized ball valves?

This product contains a switch to operate already, it doesn't require an extra switch.

I need the outside dimensions for the 3/4 ball valve please. Thanks

The outside dimensions of this specific ball valve are 2.5 in X 2.5 in X 1.5.

Is this valve approved for drinking water?

All of our stainless steel valves are approved for potable water. If the valve is going to be in contact with any potable water, a stainless steel valve must be used.

How much does this valve draw from the battery? I see that it takes 16s to operate, but it how much current (i.e. amps) does it draw over that time? To put it another way, how many Ah (amp-hours) are needed to open or close the value? Thanks.

The valve does not draw any power from a battery, this actuator must be hard wired to a 12V DC power source. The actuator has an open close rate of 2 seconds, not 16. The reason for the rate of 2 seconds is because it's not a steady running time due to the DC motor inside. When opening the valve using the opening control wire, there is a current of about 55mA, and when the valve is entirely opened, there remains a 10mA current flow. When closing the valve, the current is at about 55MA as well, but when entirely closed, there remains a current at the range 0 to 10mA.

Do you make anything in stainless that operates at 12 volt dc and is class 1 div 2 rated (hazardous location)

DEELAT has motorized ball valves in stainless steel, however, they are not recommended to use in a Class 1 Div 2 area. Even though, they can handle oil, the valve itself could possibly leak. Our manufacturer would need more much more details of the environment the motorized ball valve will be in to make sure its suitable.

I am trying to connect an automatic shutoff valve due to loss of power in basement. This is needed due to having pumps for bathroom and laundry area and don't want water available if pumps don't have power. Are these valves good for that application or would something else fit better?

Our motorized ball valves are used for this application all the time. The simplest approach is to use any motorized ball valve with an on/off wiring and set the default valve position to closed before installation. When the power is shut off, the motorized ball valve will automatically default to the closed position. Also, please be aware that the actuator has an IP54 rating, so be careful about getting the actuator wet, as it is not fully waterproof.

What type of electrical connection supplied with this unit, terminal or pigtail?

We received the units with pigtails and we hard wired them to a Johnson temperature controller. We put the Johnson controllers inside a NEMA enclosure.

Is this product IP65 rated? Please confirm.

All DEELAT actuators with manual override switches, including this product, are IP65 rated.

Yes. Deelat motorized ball valves have a lifespan or cycle life of at least 50,000 cycles.

can this be used for residential natural gas?

Unfortunately our motorized ball valves cannot be used for natural gas. The seals are not made to withhold gas within the valve so there will be gas leaks which is very dangerous.

if you apply power the valve opens and if you stop power to unit does it shut off?

The motorized ball valve default position is set to open or close before installation. If the ball valve default position is set to close, then when the power is lost to the motorized ball valve, it will close.

Are there any control systems, that use water sensors to isolate the water system in the event of a leak, which work with Deelat electrically actuated ball valves? In the event of a power failure do the valves stay in their last position or do they fail-safe open or close?

In the event of power failure, the valve will go to the default position. The default position is set by the installer before installation and can be changed any time to open or close.

Can this valve be used for potable water?

DEELAT brass motorized ball valves are lead free, but cannot be used for potable water. However, all of our stainless steel valves can be used for potable water applications.

Hi, What material are the seals made of? We would potentially use your motorized ball valves in an electrical discharge machining (EDM) application and oil would be transferred through the valve. Viton or Buna-N seals would work best. Also, do you offer any samples? Thank you.

The seals that are inside the valve body of our Motorized ball valves are made out of EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomers) which is a high density synthetic rubber that is extremely versatile with an ability to withstand 0 - 95 degrees Celsius. Please contact our customer support team at 1-877-956-5685 regarding samples by phone.

What water pressure can the valves handle?

The water pressure this valve body can withstand is PN25-PN40 (Min to Max).
