Description

3/8 inch Plastic latching / bi-stable water solenoid valve WRAS approved 1196BB RPE R Mini


A compact 2/2 way latching / bi-stable plastic water solenoid valve with quick-connect, designed for low-power operation in drinking water systems, taps, and washing machines.

Valve function & operation

Function: 2/2 way latching / bi-stable (20 millisecond pulse)
Operation: Pressure assisted (Requires Min 0.2 Bar pressure difference)
Port: 3/8 inch quick connect / speed push fit
Pressure range: 0.2 to 10 Bar
Orifice size: 11.0mm
Kv flow factor: 27.07 L/min (based on water with 1 bar pressure difference)
Control principle: Short power pulse to open, reverse polarity pulse to close
Maximum pulse duration: 20 milliseconds

Construction & materials

Body: Nylon white good grade 30% Glass Filled
Seals: NBR standard, option EPDM
Coil type: Latching / bi-stable
Power consumption: 2.25 W
Ingress protection: IP00
Electrical connection: Faston tags 6.3x0.8mm (option flying lead wires)

Voltage requirements

Nominal voltage: 6 V DC
Current draw: 375 mA
Pulse duration: 15 to 20 milliseconds
Voltage tolerance: Accepts 9 V DC and 12 V DC with reduced pulse duration

Operating principle

A short low-power pulse (approximately 15 ms) energises the internal magnet to open the valve and hold it open without continuous power.
A short reverse-polarity pulse (approximately 15 ms) cancels the magnetic field, closing the valve.
This process is repeated for each open and close cycle, significantly reducing overall power consumption.

Approvals and certifications

WRAS approved
KTW and DM174 drinking water compliance
ACS health compliance certificate
ENEC European electrical certification
CSV (European Union Aviation Safety Agency)
MOCA FCM (Food Contact Materials)
NSF food certification for public health protection
Optional UL (Underwriter Laboratories) certification

Typical applications
