Hello,
I've purchased a Plastic Water Solenoid Valve which according to spec has a 1/2" Nominal NPS connector. However, this does not appear to be the case. I have a female 1/2" NPS connector that is too small (in circumference) to connect with the water valve. I also have a flow sensor with 1/2" NPS which works fine with the female hardware and is visible smaller that the connector on the water valve. Please help.
Thanks,
Chancey

Re: Plastic Water Solenoid Valve - Does not fit 1/2" NPS fem
I just received the
Plastic Water Solenoid Valve - 12V - 1/2" Nominal
PRODUCT ID: 997
I would like to know if there is a cover that will protect the electrical connections to the solenoid. I see holes as if something could be mounted there, but I do not know if there is an already manufactured cover to go with this product.
Thanks!

Usually insulated crimp connectors are used like these:

You can get them at most hardware stores.

I would also like to know where to find a cover for this. Not just the connections. At some point I purchased a very similar valve and it came with a plastic cover. Because the valve is designed for a cover, I assume there must be a place to buy it? Thanks!

I'm afraid we don't carry a cover for that one, and don't know of any sources for one.
