Where to buy 1" electric valve?

Hi all,

Anyone know where to buy a 1 inch electric valve? It needs to be very small
and lightweight, and ideal voltage is 12 volts.

Thanks!

1" what? input/output connector or total size?

If i/o, look at sprinkler control valves.

Same response here -- I kept visualizing 6AU6's and 12AX7's, not a piece
of copper with wires sticking out.

I have a binge pump I built for my kayak, and the holes where the water
spits out get water in them from the waves. I need to close this so the
kayak does not flood.

Thanks!

And a scupper or one-way check valve doesn't work for you?
 
Nope, at least the one I tried (one-way check valve) - have any sources for
ones that would work well for my application? Thanks!

Have you considered an upside down "P" trap affair. Like on a sink, except
upside down, using 1" PVC pipe. The part that runs against the bottom of
the deck could run to the other side, before going down to the pump. This
should keep water out unless deck is submerged and upside down.

Exit through side with tube and up to check valve, then up against bottom
and across the deck. Then down into bilge to pump.

Check valve could be made with a ping pong ball inside a 1-1/2", short
section of PVC with 1" reducers on each end. Ball would float to close.

I haven't made one of these to try it out, but the parts are cheap enough.

If this diagram doesn't make any sense, highlight, copy & paste diagram to
notepad or some text editor, w/font set at 16. Maybe it will then. I never
get these diagrams to turn out right in email. If that doesn't work I'll
post a screenshot to a binary group somewhere.

Hi,

The problem is the holes are already drilled on the top (2 of them) would
this still work?

Thanks!
Karl
