VIDEO TRANSCRIPT:

Hi, I’m Mike Kettering, Product Manager for electronic valves at �ǳ�web. What is a latching valve? A latching valve is an electronically actuated two-position valve that stays detented in the last position that it was actuated into. Just like a detented toggle stays in the last position that it was actuated to, a latching valve remains in the same state that it was actuated to.

I’ve never been over the pond, but apparently in Europe, these are commonly referred to as bi-polar valves.

The main benefit of using a latching valve is low power consumption. Since the valve only requires a pulse of power to change states, it can stay unpowered until the state needs to be changed.

�ǳ�web offers a two-wire, 10 mm latching valve as well as a three-wire 15 mm latching valve. To change the state of a 10 mm latching valve, the polarity to the coil simply needs to be inverted. The 15 mm latching valve is a three wire valve with one wire to actuate, one wire to de-actuate, and one common wire.
