Description
3/8 inch WRAS latching / bi-stable plastic water solenoid valve – RPE R Mini 4115BB
A WRAS approved latching (bi-stable) water solenoid valve designed for ultra-low power potable water control. The RPE R Mini 4115BB uses short pulse actuation to remain open or closed without continuous power, making it ideal for battery-powered, solar and energy-efficient water systems.
Valve function and operation
→ Function: 2/2 way latching / bi-stable
→ Operation: Pressure assisted (minimum 0.2 bar pressure differential required)
→ Port size: 3/8 BSP male
→ Orifice size: 11.0 mm
→ 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.
