This 12V 1/2-inch male thread solenoid valve is a normally closed (NC) electric valve, which means it remains closed when power is off and opens only when 12V DC is applied [citation:1][citation:2]. It is an ideal component for automating liquid flow in projects like robotic gardening, irrigation systems, aquariums, and industrial controls.
