Hello,

I recently installed an alarm system in my home and as part of the
alarm system want to install a solenoid valve right after my water
meter. This would allow me to have the alarm turn off the water when
we leave the house (and forestall a diasater should a pipe break).

I have looked up solenoid valves on Grainger and believe the one shown
below will work for me:

My only concern is that there is no technical data if this valve is
rated for potable water. Does anyone have any experience with this?

Thanks

its normally closed and thus would require power any time you want
water. in a power failure no water either.....

Do you seriously doubt they have a standby generator already?
