1/2" WRAS Water Solenoid Valve 0.35–16 Bar – ASCO Sirai L182D01


The ASCO Sirai L182D01-12 is a 1/2" BSP WRAS approved brass solenoid valve designed for potable water, hot water services, water treatment and industrial water-control applications.

This 2/2 way normally closed, pressure-assisted diaphragm valve combines a large 13.5mm orifice, Kv flow factor of 3.8 m³/h and an operating differential pressure range of 0.35 to 16 Bar. The EPDM version uses WRAS certified sealing material and can handle water temperatures up to +140°C.

Valve Function & Operation

Function: 2/2 Way Normally Closed
Operation: Pressure Assisted Diaphragm
Design: Full Orifice Pilot Operated
Minimum Differential Pressure: 0.35 Bar
Maximum Differential Pressure: 16 Bar
Maximum Allowable Pressure (PS): 20 Bar
The pressure-assisted design uses the inlet pressure to operate the main diaphragm, allowing a relatively large flow path while maintaining compact overall valve dimensions.
A minimum 0.35 Bar pressure differential is required for reliable switching.

1/2" BSPP Connection & Flow

Port: 1/2" BSPP Female
Thread Standard: ISO 228
Orifice: 13.5mm
Kv Flow Factor: 3.8 m³/h
The 1/2" version uses the same 13.5mm nominal orifice as the 3/8" model but provides an increased Kv of 3.8 m³/h, making it an excellent general-purpose size for commercial water-control systems.

WRAS Approved EPDM Seals

The L182D01 uses EPDM sealing material manufactured from a WRAS certified compound.
✓ Latest WRAS Approval No. 250702716
✓ Approval Valid Until 31 July 2030
Body: Brass
Internal Components: Brass & Stainless Steel
Core Tube: Stainless Steel
Seal Material: WRAS Approved EPDM
Seat: Brass
This construction makes the valve particularly suitable for potable-water installations requiring the durability of an industrial brass solenoid valve.

Potable & Hot Water Applications

Suitable Media:
✓ Potable Water
✓ Hot Water
✓ Process Water
✓ Water Treatment
✓ Compatible Liquids
Maximum Media Viscosity: 37 cSt
For liquids other than water, compatibility with the brass, stainless steel and EPDM wetted materials should be confirmed.

High Temperature Water Service

Media Temperature:
-10°C to +140°C with EPDM
Ambient Temperature:
-10°C to +60°C
The high-temperature EPDM configuration is a significant advantage where the valve is required for hot potable water, heating equipment or other water systems operating above the limits of conventional WRAS solenoid valves.

Switching Performance

Opening Time: 70ms
Closing Time: 600ms
The 600ms closing time provides a controlled shut-off of the main diaphragm rather than an extremely abrupt interruption of water flow.
The manufacturer specifies these response times specifically for the 1/2" version.

Solenoid Coil

DC Power: 5.5 Watts
AC Power:
12VA Inrush
6VA Holding
Duty Cycle: ED 100% Continuous
Insulation: Class F
Electrical Connection: 3-Pole Plug Connector
Protection: IP65 with Connector
The continuous-duty coil allows the valve to remain energised for extended periods where required.

Voltage Options

DC:
✓ 12V DC
✓ 24V DC
AC:
✓ 24V AC
✓ 115V AC
✓ 230V AC
Other voltages and frequencies are available on request.

Low Power Coil Option

A reduced-power coil is available for applications where electrical consumption and coil temperature need to be minimised.
DC Power: 3 Watts
AC Power: 3.5VA
Maximum Differential Pressure with Low-Power Coil: 12 Bar
The standard coil should therefore be selected where the full 16 Bar differential-pressure capability is required.
Installation
The valve may be installed in any mounting position, although mounting with the solenoid coil vertically upwards is preferred.

Dimensions & Weight

For the 1/2" version:
Overall Length: 66mm
Overall Height: 82mm
Overall Width: 40mm
Weight: Approximately 0.38kg
The compact dimensions make the 1/2" L182 particularly suitable for OEM machinery and commercial water equipment where installation space is limited.

Typical Applications

✓ Potable Water Systems
✓ Hot Water Distribution
✓ Commercial Water Systems
✓ Water Treatment Equipment
✓ Industrial Process Water
✓ Commercial Heating Equipment
✓ OEM Machinery
✓ Washdown Systems
✓ Building Services
✓ General Water Shut-Off

Why Choose the 1/2" L182D01?

The 1/2" L182D01 offers an excellent balance between compact dimensions and substantial water-flow capacity.
Its 13.5mm orifice and Kv 3.8 m³/h provide considerably greater flow than many compact 1/2" solenoid valves, while the 0.35–16 Bar pressure range covers most conventional mains-water and commercial water-control applications.
The combination of WRAS approved EPDM, water temperatures up to +140°C, 100% continuous duty and proven ASCO Sirai construction makes this a particularly versatile valve for potable and hot-water systems.
Available L182 Sizes
3/8" BSP – Kv 2.5 m³/h
1/2" BSP – Kv 3.8 m³/h
3/4" BSP – Kv 5 m³/h
1" BSP – Kv 12 m³/h
