What's it called?
I want to get a valve that is opened and closed instantly by an electric
current. It will be put on a pressurized garden hose. When I hit a button, the valve will open instantly, and water will spray out the hose. When I let off the button, the valve will close, and the water will shut off. I'm trying to make a simple system to help break my dog of barking. What is the name of this valve/actuator/device? And where might I find one? Steve |

If you do get a solenoid valve, make sure to get one that operates on 12
volts, but in the real world, the anti bark collar would work better "Steve B" wrote in message news:UTTag.26650$QP4.11348@fed1read12...

Steve Go to the lawn irrigation section of Home Depot or Lowes. They sell a series of electrically operated solenoid valves that can be adapted to garden hose use (normally attached to rigid PVC pipe) |

A bark collar will be cheaper and much more effective.
I use electronic training collars for my dogs, It doesn't take long for them to figure things out. I just got a new Yellow this week and already he knows the yard boundaries. Searcher |
