Description
1¼" WRAS Water Solenoid Valve 0.5–10 Bar – ASCO Sirai L182D48
The ASCO Sirai L182D48-11/4 is a 1¼" BSP WRAS approved brass solenoid valve designed for higher-flow potable water, commercial water services, water treatment and industrial water-control applications.
As the smallest model in the larger L182D-BIG Series, this 2/2 way normally closed, pressure-assisted diaphragm valve combines a 30mm orifice with a Kv flow factor of 15 m³/h. It operates from 0.5 to 10 Bar differential pressure, providing a substantial step up in flow capacity from the standard L182 range.
Valve Function & Operation
Function: 2/2 Way Normally Closed
Operation: Pressure Assisted Diaphragm
Design: Full Orifice Pilot Operated
Minimum Differential Pressure: 0.5 Bar
Maximum Differential Pressure: 10 Bar
Maximum Allowable Pressure (PS): 10 Bar
The full-orifice pilot-operated diaphragm construction allows the large 30mm flow path to be controlled using a relatively compact solenoid operator.
A minimum 0.5 Bar differential pressure between the inlet and outlet is required for reliable operation.
1¼" BSPP Connection & High Flow
Port: 1¼" BSPP Female
Thread Standard: ISO 228
Orifice: 30mm
Kv Flow Factor: 15 m³/h
The 1¼" L182D-BIG provides significantly greater flow capacity than the standard 1" L182, making it particularly suitable for larger commercial water installations, plant rooms and process-water systems.
WRAS Approved EPDM Seals
The L182D48 uses EPDM sealing materials and is specified as a WRAS certified solenoid valve.
✓ Latest WRAS Approval No. 250702716
✓ Approval Valid Until 31 July 2030
Body: Brass
Internal Components: Brass & Stainless Steel
Guide Assembly: Stainless Steel
Seat: Brass
Seals: EPDM
Shading Ring: Copper
The combination of brass and stainless steel provides robust industrial construction for commercial and process-water installations.
Potable Water Applications
Suitable applications include:
✓ Potable Water Systems
✓ Commercial Water Services
✓ Water Treatment Equipment
✓ Industrial Process Water
✓ Plant Room Installations
✓ Building Services
✓ OEM Machinery
✓ Compatible Liquids
Maximum Media Viscosity: 37 cSt
For liquids other than water, compatibility with the EPDM, brass, stainless steel and other wetted materials should be confirmed before use. The manufacturer specifies the valve for compatible liquid and gaseous fluids.
Temperature Range
Media Temperature:
-10°C to +85°C
Ambient Temperature:
-10°C to +50°C
Maximum Viscosity:
Approximately 37 cSt
This is an important difference from the smaller standard L182 EPDM valves, which can offer higher media-temperature capability. The L182D-BIG should therefore be specified to its +85°C maximum media temperature.
Switching Performance
Opening Time: 100ms
Closing Time: 650ms
The response characteristics provide reliable diaphragm operation while controlling the considerably larger flow path of the 1¼" valve.
Solenoid Coil
Coil: ZA10A
DC Power: 9 Watts
AC Power:
23VA Inrush
14VA Holding
Duty Cycle: ED 100% Continuous
Insulation: Class F 155°C
Optional Insulation: Class H 180°C
Encapsulation: Fibreglass Reinforced PPS
Protection: IP67 with Connector
The L182D-BIG therefore provides a higher IP67 protection rating than the IP65 specification commonly encountered on smaller industrial water solenoid valves.
Electrical Connection
Connection: DIN 46340 3-Pole
Connector Standard: EN 175301-803
Protection with Connector: IP67
The DIN plug connection provides a conventional industrial electrical interface and allows straightforward coil or connector replacement.
Voltage Options
DC:
✓ 12V DC
✓ 24V DC
AC:
✓ 24V AC
✓ 110V AC
✓ 230V AC
Other voltages and frequencies are available on request.
Installation
The valve can be installed in any mounting position, although installation with the solenoid coil vertically upwards is preferred.
Dimensions & Weight
For the 1¼" L182D48:
Overall Length: 113mm
Overall Height: 132mm
Maximum Width: 106mm
Weight: Approximately 1.59kg
Serviceable Industrial Design
The L182D-BIG is designed with replaceable internal components rather than being treated as a disposable valve.
Available service components include:
✓ Replacement Core Kit
✓ Replacement Diaphragm Kit
✓ Replacement ZA10A Coil
The 1¼" diaphragm assembly is available separately, helping extend valve service life in industrial and commercial installations.
Typical Applications
✓ Potable Water Systems
✓ High Flow Water Control
✓ Commercial Plant Rooms
✓ Water Treatment Equipment
✓ Industrial Process Water
✓ Building Services
✓ Commercial Water Distribution
✓ Washdown Systems
✓ OEM Machinery
✓ General Water Shut-Off
Why Choose the 1¼" L182D48?
The 1¼" L182D48 is the entry point into the high-flow L182D-BIG family.
Its 30mm orifice and Kv 15 m³/h provide substantially greater water capacity than the smaller standard L182 models while retaining a manageable 0.5 Bar minimum differential pressure.
It also offers WRAS certification, 100% continuous duty, IP67 electrical protection and a fully serviceable construction, making it particularly well suited to commercial plant rooms and industrial water-control systems where reliability and maintainability are important.
L182D-BIG Range
1¼" BSP – 30mm Orifice – Kv 15 m³/h
1½" BSP – 45mm Orifice – Kv 27 m³/h
2" BSP – 45mm Orifice – Kv 34 m³/h
All three sizes operate from 0.5 to 10 Bar and use the same L182D48 valve family and ZA10A operator.
