Tiny leaks and slow manual shut-offs cause big damage and downtime. Stress rises when no one’s on site. Install a smart motorized ball valve with Wi-Fi to open or close water fast, from anywhere.
Shut off the main water, cut in a brass ball valve (full- or standard-port), mount the actuator, wire 2-wire or 3-wire control (often using a relay), power the unit (e.g., 5v dc usb supply), then pair the wifi valve to your app and test open and close cycles. Confirm no leaks and correct flow.
Install smart motorized ball valve Wi-Fi integration
A smart motorized ball valve is a valve with a quarter-turn ball valve core and a motorized actuator that you can control locally or remotely. Unlike a solenoid that snaps open, the motor gently turns the ball to open or close. This “innovative motorized ball valve” design gives low pressure drop, long life, and better throttling to adjust flow.
In plain terms, the valve can be controlled by switch, relay, BMS, or app. A smart valve can be controlled by phone and scheduler. For clarity, think of it like this: the ball valve can be controlled by a motor that turns a stem. In many kits, the motorized ball valve that comes with the actuator also comes with a smart control board and features a smart control function for pairing and scenes.
You’ll see phrases like “ball valve is a new generation upgrade for remote water control” in product pages, and that’s roughly true: the package merges rugged hardware with smart control. For industrial buyers, this is a dependable alternative to solenoid valves when you want lower heat, fewer slam shocks, and finer motion.
At minimum, gather: pipe cutter, deburring tool, wrenches, PTFE tape, approved thread sealant, and unions. Choose a full port valve for minimal pressure drop; for compact spots, a standard port valve can fit better. Always confirm the internal diameter of the valve matches your flow target.
If your site requires local control, pick an electrical ball valve with manual override or a ball valve with manual switch so techs can move it by hand. In small domestic risers, a compact control brass electrical ball valve can save space. For harsh water or process media, choose a brass ball valve or stainless body as the shut off valve spec demands.
When you plan panels, mark the valve position, actuator clearance, and cable routing. Leave service space between the valve and the valve actuator so you can pull the motor head for maintenance.
Helpful references from our catalog (choose the body, protocol, and actuator you need):
Sweat, press, or thread the water valve into the line per code. After it cools (if soldered), snug unions. Restore the water supply and check for leaks. If you need to adjust flow, note positions or add a flow-meter downstream.
Finish with the actuator mounting: align the stem, place the bracket, and tighten. Do not overtighten—keep bearings true so you don’t overheat the motor or seals.
Tip: On return loops, label “return water” piping so techs don’t swap feed/return when they operate the valve.
Most small actuators support two wire or 2 wire control with power-drive and auto-return (spring) or motor return. Larger units use 3-wire (common + open + close). Choose n.o (normally open) or n.c (normally closed) to match your fail-safe. If power is removed, many actuators automatically close; some even say the valve will automatically close within a short time—certain models automatically close within 2 seconds.
A control board or relay module usually triggers motion. For DIY/BAS pilot duty, drive the actuator using a relay rated for inrush. Some actuators need power to open and a spring for auto return; others use bidirectional motors. Always verify the control diagram before you energize the circuit.
Power options: A bench supply or small brick can feed low-voltage units; certain compact kits take 5v dc usb power for convenience. Larger industrial actuators use 24 VAC/VDC or 110/230 VAC. Keep control wiring away from high-voltage to lower noise and risk of overheating.
Most smart kits walk you through connection to wi-fi in minutes. Put the device in pairing mode, select your SSID, then bind it. You can run schedules, scenes, and get alerts.
We’ve shipped many projects where a wifi valve was added to a basement manifold and controlled remotely via a mobile app so facility teams can close the valve instantly during alarms. For reference models on the market, brands like us solid make a solid motorized ball valve; you’ll also see the phrase solid smart motorized ball valve in listings—helpful for quick comparisons.
Explore protocol options in our product pages:
You can trigger remote control via app, panel, or BMS. Some catalog lines describe “motorized ball valve – remote” kits or “ball valve – remote control” bundles; the naming varies, but the idea is identical—valve can be controlled from afar.
If an actuator is permanently installed outdoors, add a rated enclosure and a drip loop. Watch temperature limits to avoid overheat warnings. For continuous power models, confirm duty cycle so the risk of overheating stays low. When power is removed, many fail-safe models automatically close (sometimes very quickly).
Quick comparison
| Behavior | Typical Setting | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Fail-safe | n.c or n.o | Choose the safe position during power loss. |
| Return type | auto-return spring or motor | Define what happens after a command. |
| Control | 2 wire / 3-wire with relay | Match your BAS or app module. |
After plumbing and wiring, restore the water supply. Use your switch or app to open and close. Watch the stem turn and confirm fully open and full shut. Verify integration with the app and your panel.
Next, test alarms. Simulate a leak sensor trip. Confirm the smart valve reacts and turn the water off. Then turn off the water manually and verify techs can operate the valve with the manual switch if needed.
Log your valve features (size, torque, run-time). Note if the valve is smaller than spec space allowed (good), or if you need a different body. Confirm your full port valve vs standard port valve decision doesn’t starve flow.
No motion? Check power rails and energize lines. Verify the relay clicks and you used the correct common and direction leads on a 3-wire type. If it’s two wire with auto return, confirm the spring isn’t jammed.
Running hot? Long holds on stall can overheat the motor. Set interlocks to remove drive after travel. If your process needs throttle, a motorized valve is better than a solenoid for steady open or close duty.
Not pairing to Wi-Fi? Move closer to the AP, or use Zigbee/LoRaWAN models. If you need local mesh, Zigbee is robust. For campuses, LoRaWAN cuts repeaters.

| Spec | Why it matters | Quick pick |
|---|---|---|
| Size & internal diameter of the valve | Flow capacity and head loss | 1:1 line size for most mains |
| Porting | Full port valve = lowest drop; standard port valve = compact | Full-port for mains |
| Body | Brass ball valve for domestic; stainless for industrial | Check media compatibility |
| Power | Low-voltage or mains | Some kits accept 5v dc usb |
| Control | 2 wire, 3-wire, analog, or fieldbus | Confirm relay type |
| Fail-safe | n.o / n.c | Pick your safe state |
| Enclosure | Indoor/outdoor rating | Seal if permanently installed outdoors |
If you need polymer or metal variants: uPVC electric ball valve or stainless electric ball valve. For wireless protocols, compare Wi-Fi, Zigbee, and LoRaWAN.
In a 12-story office, the facilities team upgraded riser isolation valves. They replaced a traditional motorized ball on the domestic cold main with a smart kit and set a leak scene. A small panel using a relay triggered open or close during maintenance.

The motorized ball valves used fail-safe n.c to protect tenants. For OT link, the team added an RS-485 gateway like you’d find in solutions such as RS485 regulating valve so the BMS could command positions.
Anchor the actuator so conduit isn’t bearing weight. Place unions so you can pull the head without draining. Label direction arrows and save the as-built. If power is removed, verify the actuator’s final position is safe. Use thermal trips to minimize risk of overheating.
For roofs or garages permanently installed outdoors, add sun shields and IP-rated boxes. In freeze zones, heat-trace the body. Keep the manual lever accessible so techs can operate the valve during any app outage.
Pick a motorized valve when you want smooth motion, low drops, and quiet action. A motorized ball valve – remote kit fits BMS and app workflows better than a snap valve for large lines. It’s an alternative to solenoid valves that avoids buzz and water hammer.
Choose a solid smart motorized ball valve for mains and branch control. On small taps where speed matters more than flow, a solenoid can still shine. For large HVAC loops, a solid motorized ball valve brings reliability and long service intervals.
Can this valve throttle flow or only on/off?
A ball valve can do both. It’s best at on/off, but you can adjust flow for simple balance. If you need precision, consider an actuator with analog control or a regulating valve.
What happens during a power outage?
Depending on n.o/n.c and return type, power is removed and the actuator may automatically close (some claim the valve will automatically close within seconds). Pick the fail-safe that protects your assets.
Is Wi-Fi secure enough for critical control?
Use strong passwords and VLANs. For industrial sites, choose Zigbee or LoRaWAN with a gateway. You can still keep app access for remote control via a mobile device.
Can I tie this into my leak sensors and alarms?
Yes. Link the sensor to a controller using a relay, then trigger open or close. Many apps let you automate scenes and send push notes.
What if I need manual operation on site?
Pick an actuator with manual switch or a unit marketed as an electrical ball valve with manual. Some packages say “ball valve with manual switch”—that’s what you want.
Will it fit tight spaces?
Often the valve is smaller than older gate valve bodies. Check clearances and the actuator height before ordering.
