The SwitchEZ™ series pinch valves are available as normally closed, normally open, and closed/open (3-way diverting), and in single or multi-tube configurations. This type of valve is ideal for applications requiring frequent changes of the flow path, because only the easily replaceable tubing contacts the flow media. It opens or closes the flexible tube by energizing the solenoid retracts or attracts the plunger. A solenoid pinch valve is a solenoid-operated device, which is designed to open and close tubes for controlling flow of liquids or gases electronically. Suitable for fluids like water, oil, air.Pinch valve is a full bore or fully ported type of control valve, using a pinching effect to close or open a fluid/gas flow.Not only can it provide a steady flow, but it also prevents the dry burning.Pressure-regulating valve (steady flow valve) function similar to the water flow switch.The installation direction can be arbitrary Angle.It is not suitable for use with Gravity fed systems (Hint : Inside the value, at one side you will find the filter this is the input side of the value). It will work only if you connect it in the right direction. Note: While Connecting Valve in Flow pipeline, you need to mind the Input and Output direction of the valve. As it is a normally closed assembly, it opens the flow of fluids as soon as it is powered ON and stops/blocks the flow when the supply voltage removed. The valve works with the solenoid coil which operates electronically with DC 12 volt supply.

When a 12V DC supply is applied to the two terminals, the valve opens and water can push through.

12V DC Solenoid Water Air Valve Switch (Normally Closed) 1/2 controls the flow of fluid (liquid or air) and acts as a valve between high-pressure fluid! This liquid valve would make a great addition to your robotic gardening project.
