FAQs

What is the main purpose of this solenoid valve?

Its main purpose is to provide an electrically controlled on/off mechanism for water flow in compatible sensor-operated faucets like Markwik 21 and Sensor Flow 21.

Is this valve suitable for a standard bathroom faucet?

No, this valve is specifically designed for use with Markwik 21 and Sensor Flow 21 sensor-operated products and is not suitable for standard manual faucets.

What does 'No Finish' mean?

'No Finish' indicates that the valve does not have a decorative external coating. It is intended for internal use within a fixture where its appearance is not relevant.

Can this valve be used with low water pressure systems?

This valve is rated for high pressure. While it might function at lower pressures, optimal performance is expected within its specified high-pressure range. Consult product specifications for minimum operating pressure if critical.

What size is the water connection?

The water connection size is G1/2 inch.

Who manufactured this valve?

The manufacturer is Armitage Shanks, a brand often associated with Ideal Standard products.

Troubleshooting

Valve does not open or close

Check electrical connections to the sensor control unit. Ensure the sensor is functioning correctly and sending the appropriate signal. Verify water pressure is within the valve's operating range.

Water leaks from connections

Ensure G1/2 connections are tightened appropriately. Check any seals or washers for wear or damage and replace if necessary. Verify installation was performed correctly.

Intermittent flow or erratic operation

Inspect the water supply for debris that might be partially blocking the valve. Check for voltage fluctuations to the control unit. Ensure the compatible sensor system is clean and functioning properly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Specifically designed for reliable operation with Markwik and Sensor Flow 21 systems.
  • Handles high water pressure effectively.
  • Provides precise on/off flow control crucial for sensor functionality.
  • Standard G1/2 connection simplifies installation into compatible setups.

Cons

  • Limited compatibility; only suitable for specific sensor-operated products.
  • Not designed for manual faucet operation.
  • No decorative finish, intended for internal or non-visible applications.
  • Requires a compatible electronic control system to function.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This solenoid valve is designed as a component within a larger sensor-operated system. Installation typically involves connecting the G1/2 inlet and outlet ports to the appropriate water lines and wiring the electrical connections to the sensor's control unit. Professional installation is recommended to ensure correct wiring and plumbing connections.

Compatibility: Strictly compatible with Markwik 21 and Sensor Flow 21 sensor-operated products. It is not suitable for use with standard manual taps or other electronic systems not listed.

Care: As an internal component, the valve requires minimal direct care. Ensure the water supply feeding the valve is free from significant debris that could cause blockages. Regular maintenance of the overall sensor system, including cleaning the sensor lens and checking for leaks in connected plumbing, will indirectly support the valve's optimal performance.
