4.0 out of 5 starsValve works, but backwards. Large Counter EMF when power removed.
By Jim Wings on August 10, 2014
Style Name: 12V 1/4 Inch Verified Purchase
Valve works, but works backwards?? I hooked up the valve to about 90 PSI water, making sure I put the supply side on the correct side of the valve per the flow direction arrow that is on the bottom of the valve. When I turned on the water the valve made a vibrating sound and water flowed (there was no power to the valve, so the valve should have stayed closed). I reversed the water flow on the valve, and not it works fine. Now when I apply power, water flows, and when I remove power, water stops flowing.

Note that there is a large Counter EMF pulse when power is removed from the valve, and that causes a large spark across any relay or switch contacts. I suggest you put a high voltage diode in parallel to the power leads of the valve. Put the "bar" side of the diode on the positive "+" side. There is no positive or negative on the valve, just pick one of the wire colors as your positive. Search "Flyback diode" on Wikipedia for an explanation of Counter EMF.

One thing I like about this valve is that it only takes 2 watts of power. That is only 0.167 amps With such lower amperage needed, you can power this valve with CAT5 cable, even over decent distances (100 feet at least). (CAT5 is 24 AWG wire, which can handle 0.577 amps)

5.0 out of 5 starsPerfect for an air horn
By Weasel on April 15, 2013
Style Name: 12V 1/4 Inch Verified Purchase
Got this for my Jeep because I wanted to integrate a semi's horn into my horn circuit. This did the job. Now my panic button makes my car sound like the freakin circus. I no longer have to worry about all those would be attackers looking to steal a rusty Jeep because this "DC 12V 1/4 Inch Electric Solenoid Valve" allows me to strike fear into the hearts of men.

Summary: Buy it if you want respect.. or an air valve..

2.0 out of 5 starsDo not buy!
By John S. on August 4, 2014
Style Name: 12V 1/4 Inch Verified Purchase
Very cheap I bought three only one keeps air back. I wouldn't purchase if it's something you need to rely on. I bought three and none of them were the same so the brackets I made for the first one didn't fit the other two and the wires and stuff were also different colors. Seem to be of poor quality and no quality control. I am using it for an air ride suspension on my scooter so I need it to be reliable.

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat Valve.
By S. Zimmerman on April 26, 2015
Style Name: 12V 1/4 Inch Verified Purchase
Great valve. It is being used for actuating a Nathan K3HA train horn and does not leak. It is also built pretty solidly. As long as you set it up with the arrow (on the bottom) facing the direction of air travel, it will be a very reliable asset to your application.

5.0 out of 5 starsMAY NOT BE GOOD FOR PATROLEUM PRODUCTS.
By vincent lanzetta on July 5, 2015
Style Name: 12V 1/4 Inch Verified Purchase
I purchased this valve to control a flow of mineral oil for a project my company is working on. The seal within the valve deteriorates by mineral oil.

I'm flowing it through a clear hose and had it dripping into a clear container through a needle valve. The oil definitely clouded up while going through this valve. The oil is clear going into the valve and cloudy coming out.

I purchased this valve because it said it could be used with diesel fuel. If mineral oil contaminates the seal I would be hesitant to use it with any petroleum product. I've read other posts saying it was being used for fuel flow. The valve may be shutting the fuel flow on and off and
working in that regard, but it may slowly be dissolving the seal within the valve.

I'm not a chemist so take my words for what they are worth. All I know is mineral oil dissolves the inner seal of this valve.

REVISED REVIEW
When I was testing this item for my project it was being used with a very small needle valve so a very small amount of oil was flowing through it at the time. So small I was calibrating drips. As I continued my testing eventually the oil cleared up and stayed clean. I am now figuring

that during the manufacturing of this solenoid perhaps a small amount of residue of something initially coated the seal or something. In either case I was wrong about petroleum products damaging the seal - sorry.

Seals, hoses or anything that comes in contact with different chemicals effects one another. I came across a website that has a chemical chart showing what materials to use with different chemicals. It's very handy to have so I printed it out for myself. I'm pasting the website address here. http://www.customadvanced.com/chemical-resistance-chart.html

3.0 out of 5 starsFunction good but needed work done to them before using them.
By Kerry Bertrand on January 9, 2015
Style Name: 12V 1/4 Inch Verified Purchase
I purchased two of these and they work great.

Reason for 3 stars:

The holes are not drilled and tapped straight, not even close. It wasn't tapped deep enough either. I had to run my tap in it to get more than 2 threads deep. The angled hole caused the line to look funny so I had to run the valve in a hidden location instead of where it can be easily accessed.
