RainPoint Solenoid Valve 24v AC

Product Overview

The RainPoint Solenoid Valve is a high-quality, electrically actuated valve designed for seamless integration into smart irrigation systems, municipal water networks, boreholes, or rainwater harvesting setups. With its robust construction, dual control (automated + manual override), and compatibility with many controllers, it’s a reliable component for gardens, greenhouses, and commercial irrigation systems.

Key Features & Benefits

• 24V AC Operation & Manual Control
  The valve operates on standard 24V AC control signals, enabling precise automation. A manual flow adjustment and closure knob allow for manual override when needed (e.g. maintenance or emergency shut-off) — giving you full control either via controller or by hand. RainPoint’s SA site confirms this feature.

• Durable & Cavitation-Resistant Build
  Built from chemical-resistant materials, the valve is engineered to resist cavitation, corrosion, and harsh water conditions. It’s built for long life in demanding environments.

• Gentle Opening to Prevent Water Hammer
  The valve’s internal mechanism ensures gradual opening and closing to reduce pressure surges (water hammer), protecting pipes and fittings downstream.

• Wide Operating Pressure & Flow Range
  It works reliably between 0.5 and 8 bar of water pressure, with flow handling from 0.05 to 9 m³/h (i.e. 50 L/h up to 9 000 L/h) depending on model and pipe size.

• Smart Controller Compatibility
  Designed to pair seamlessly with RainPoint controllers and other irrigation systems that use standard 24V valve channels. This lets it participate in your existing scheduling and automation logic.

• High Reliability & Low Maintenance
  Proven materials and construction reduce the need for frequent service or replacement. It’s built to last, minimizing downtime and maintenance cost.

Specifications (Typical for 1″ Model)

⚠️ Note: Always check model label for exact specs on your unit before installation.

Use Cases & Applications

• Home & Garden — Automate watering of lawns, gardens, flower beds, vegetable patches.

• Greenhouses & Nurseries — Integrate with timer or sensor logic to water on schedule or conditionally.

• Rainwater & Tank Systems — Control flow from tanks or reservoirs to irrigated areas.

• Commercial & Agricultural — Use in larger installations as part of zone control for farms or estates.

Installation & Usage Tips

1. Match pipe size & pressure — Ensure your plumbing and pump can supply the valve’s flow and pressure requirements.

2. Use controller with 24V output — This valve responds to standard 24V irrigation controller signals.

3. Manual override is handy — Use the manual knob for testing or emergency shut-off.

4. Mount properly — Always mount solenoid valves horizontally or per manufacturer guidelines to avoid water lock or debris damage.

5. Strain the water — Use a filter upstream to prevent particles from damaging the valve internals.

Benefits to the Buyer

• Precision & Control — Automate watering schedules and integrate with smart systems.

• Durability — Built to resist wear, corrosion, and cavitation for long service life.

• Cost Savings — Reduced water waste via automation and well-controlled flow.

• Flexibility — Works with both controllers and manual override.

• Peace of Mind — Rugged design means fewer failures and less maintenance.
