Review on BOKYWOX NPT 1.5'' Motorized Ball Valve With Indicator And Manual Override - AC24V/DC12-24V Electrical Valve For Improved Automation And Control by Gaurav Ansong

This is a very well built item, no burrs, nice finish, apparently good quality control. Opens and closes just as described. The manual open/close is accomplished by using provided hex wrench that clips on the back of the unit, a nice touch. As to longevity, that remains to be seen but things are looking good at this point. I installed it on a 2" line coming from a 4500 gallon water tank, just prior to the irrigation pump. I used a 20 second time-on delay relay for the 24 volt irrigation timer signal that activates the 24vac pump power relay and this 24vac valve, so the valve gets the signal first and fully opens just befoe the pump activates. It works great. Then, when it is off, it is OFF, no water comes through this valve and I don't have irrigation seepage through the pump and through downline diaphram valves any longer. It's worth the price, should have done this a long time ago.
