RainPoint 1" AC Electronic Irrigation Valve BIV025ESC-AC for Automatic Garden Watering

RainPoint 1" AC Electronic Irrigation Valve BIV025ESC-AC is a solenoid valve for automatic garden and landscape watering systems. Designed for a 1" BSP pipe connection, it controls water flow for lawns, garden beds and irrigation zones. The valve supports 24 V AC or 24 V DC power and is rated IP68 for reliable operation in moist or buried installations.

Advantages

The valve offers flexible power compatibility, accepting both 24 V AC and 24 V DC, which simplifies integration with a variety of controllers and timers. Low holding current and a higher inrush current provide fast actuation with minimal continuous power draw. Its IP68 protection and temperature tolerance up to 60°C make it suitable for outdoor and demanding environments.

Suitable for

• Automatic garden and lawn irrigation systems
• Landscape and bed watering zones
• Integration with irrigation controllers and timers

When it may not be suitable

This valve is intended for systems using a 1" BSP connection and 24 V AC/DC control. It may not be suitable if your installation requires a different thread size or a different control voltage. Also, for systems that demand operating temperatures above 60°C or pressures outside the 0.2–10 bar range, choose a valve specified for those extremes.

Key specifications

• Connection diameter: 1" (BSP)
• Operating voltage: 24 V AC / 24 V DC
• Inrush current: 250 mA
• Holding (standby) current: 15 mA
• Operating pressure: 0.2–10 bar
• Operating temperature: up to 60°C
• Protection rating: IP68

How to use

Install the valve inline with a 1" BSP threaded connection according to the flow direction marked on the body. Connect the control wires to a 24 V AC or 24 V DC irrigation controller or timer, observing correct polarity when using DC. After installation, test each zone for proper sealing and response by activating the controller and verifying that the valve opens and closes as expected. Follow local plumbing codes and secure electrical connections against moisture.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm your pipe thread is 1" BSP to ensure mechanical compatibility.
• Verify your controller provides 24 V AC or 24 V DC output.
• Check required operating pressure and temperature for your system falls within 0.2–10 bar and up to 60°C.

Usage recommendations

Use the RainPoint 1" AC solenoid valve with compatible 24 V controllers and protect electrical connections from prolonged water exposure. Regularly inspect valves and filters upstream to prevent debris-related failures.
