RE: Automation of Garden Sprinkler with Homevision

["Ian B" <Ian@xxxxxxx>]

I have used 12 volt water valves from RS as they are 12 volt for safety and
have a BSP thread which means I can mate them t  other plumbing and
watering
kit. The RS number is 342-023 and they also do the mating copper bit
363-6517. They cost 9.43 and about 1.45 respectively + VAT of course
(www.rswww.com).
