Re: Automation of Garden Sprinkler with Homevision

["Dan James" <UKHA@xxxxxxx>]

I knew it was around somewhere:

>From Ian B:
----------------------------
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).

Hope this helps

Regards

Dan
