[chbot] OT: 1/2" Solenoid Valve

[tpots]

from Derek
Valve looks to be standard bsp fitting, if you have your glasshouse set up with plastic pipe (small bore) all you need to do is take valve to Irrigation Warehouse and get suitable reductions in plastic and all will be ok

Please excuse this off topic post, but here goes...

My greenhouse watering system did not work as planned over my holidays (the batteries got wet!). So I'm considering replacing my watering computer with something like a simple mains timer, 12v psu and a $10 solenoid valve from AliExpress: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Cheapest-Electric-Solenoid-Valve-For-Water-Air-N-C-DC-12V-1-2-TK0377/799052468.html Anyone have any idea whether I can obtain the bits to mate it to domestic irrigation tube in NZ? It seems odd to me that it does not come with nuts and olives like a compression fitting. Alternative suggestions welcome :-)

Richard
