norman Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Solenoids are OK and cost effective but they shut the water off suddenly and this has potential to exaggerate any weak points, tbh for 10mm I doubt it'll be an issue. I've used these with the manual override due to the application, cheap and cheerful. https://solenoid-valve.world/product/820/connexion/12-electrically-actuated-ball-valve-9-24vacdc-or-110-240vac-abvm04s Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.
