BV100 Motorized Electric Ball Valve, 1 Inch, 24VDC
BV100 motorized PVC ball valve: rugged 24 VDC actuated, full-port true-union valve tested to over 100,000 cycles, with position switches and manual override.
Motorized Ball Valve
This rugged, motor-actuated PVC ball valve is designed and assembled in the USA for demanding agricultural irrigation control and facility water management.
Tested to well over 100,000 cycles, BV series valves combine high-quality components for reliability your crop can depend on. They run on 24 VDC and have no minimum operating time; see the manual for wiring.
Quality PVC Valve
The full-port PVC ball valve by Jomar Valve (New Holland, MI) is a true-union type with interchangeable flanges for NPT threaded pipe or solvent-weld sockets.
Industrial Actuator
A high-torque Italian actuator from one of the world's largest actuator makers, with a large motor and heavy steel gearing. The manual override knob works even in a power failure. 4-second travel time, 50% duty cycle.

About Ball Valves
Diaphragm Valves
Diaphragm valves such as the WX1 are widely used and generally low-cost. They work well with clean water and low-solids solutions but may need periodic disassembly and cleaning, and are not recommended for fluids with sediment or surface build-up.
Ball Valves
A hole through the ball lines up with the pipe to open the flow. Ball valves are high-reliability and low-maintenance, need no cleaning even in harsh conditions, flow freely with a direct path, and shut off positively in both directions. When reliability is critical, a ball valve is the better choice.
Motorized Actuators
Limit switches stop the motor at fully open or closed. As 3-wire actuators, BV valves have no minimum on-time, unlike auto-return actuators (typically 30 seconds) that may fail to close if not left on long enough: a problem for irrigation shots under 30 seconds.
