Description
3/4" BSP Triple Outlet Plastic Water Solenoid Valve – RPE T180
The RPE T180 is a compact triple-outlet plastic water solenoid valve designed for automatic water filling and distribution in domestic washing machines, commercial laundry equipment, dishwashers and OEM water control systems.
Featuring a common 3/4" BSP male threaded inlet and three independently operated solenoid valves, the T180 provides electrical control of water flow through three separate hose tail outlets. Each valve is a 2/2 way normally closed, pressure-assisted design, remaining closed when de-energised and opening when its corresponding solenoid coil is powered.
The T180 operates over a pressure range of 0.2 to 10 bar and features a durable nylon valve body with three 10mm hose tail outlets. Its compact construction makes it particularly suitable for replacement appliance inlet valves and equipment requiring multiple water distribution functions.
Triple Outlet Solenoid Operation
The RPE T180 combines three independent normally closed solenoid valves in one assembly.
All Coils OFF → All three water outlets remain closed.
Coil 1 ON → Water flows through outlet 1.
Coil 2 ON → Water flows through outlet 2.
Coil 3 ON → Water flows through outlet 3.
Multiple Coils ON → Two or three outlets may operate simultaneously, subject to the available inlet pressure and water supply capacity.
This arrangement allows a washing machine or other appliance controller to select individual water outlets without installing three separate inlet valves.
Each valve uses pressure-assisted operation and requires a minimum differential pressure of 0.2 bar.
Inlet & Outlet Connections
The T180 features a standard appliance-style water inlet and three hose tail outlets.
- Inlet Connection: 3/4" BSP male thread
- Outlet Connections: 3 × 10mm hose tails
- Valve Orifice: 11mm
- Body Material: Nylon
The hose tail connections are designed for suitable flexible water hoses, secured using appropriate hose clips.
The common 3/4" BSP inlet allows connection to compatible appliance water supply fittings.
Pressure & Water Control
The T180 is designed for water filling and distribution applications operating within the following limits:
- Minimum Pressure: 0.2 bar
- Maximum Pressure: 10 bar
- Operation: Pressure assisted
- Valve Function: 3 × 2/2 way normally closed
- Controlled Medium: Water
The valve requires sufficient water pressure for reliable operation and is not suitable for gravity-fed or zero-pressure systems unless the required pressure differential is maintained.
Electrical Voltage & Coil Options
The RPE T180 is available with several electrical supply options:
- 12V DC
- 24V DC
- 24V AC
- 110V AC
- 230V AC
Each outlet is controlled by its own solenoid coil.
The existing product specification identifies Class F coils with an intermittent-duty rating of 60%.
The maximum continuous energisation period is two minutes, followed by a minimum three-minute cooling period.
This operating restriction should be considered when selecting the valve for equipment with extended water filling cycles.
Nylon Construction & Appliance Design
The RPE T180 uses a lightweight nylon valve body designed for appliance water control applications.
The three-solenoid arrangement reduces the need for separate valves, fittings and pipework, helping simplify equipment assembly and replacement.
The compact design is particularly suitable for washing machines and other equipment where several water filling functions must be controlled from a single inlet supply.
Approvals & Compliance
The existing product information lists WRAS, KTW and DIN 4774 approvals.
Additional listed certifications include ACS, ENEC, CSA and NSF-related approvals.
The current applicability of these approvals should be checked against the exact T180 configuration and manufacturer's certification documentation before specifying the valve for regulated drinking water installations.
