Resideo VWS02Y-1/2 Valve

For contractors looking to hard-wire proactive flood protection into residential or light commercial systems, the Resideo VWS02Y-1/2 offers a robust, professional-grade solution. This kit pairs a 1/2" NPT lead-free ball valve with the high-torque L5 WiFi actuator, providing a mechanical failsafe against catastrophic water damage. Unlike consumer-grade plug-and-play units, this system integrates directly into the 2.4GHz network, allowing for remote operation via the Resideo app while maintaining offline logic for localized detection. The included 5-foot water leak detector cable acts as a continuous sensor, and the system’s automatic water shut-off capability can be triggered by either the hardwired cable or additional wireless L1/L2 sensors paired to the hub. Built for high-reliability environments, the actuator features a manual override handle and a secondary metal security clip to ensure the motor remains seated on the valve stem under high-pressure conditions. Whether you are managing a single-family home or a multi-unit property, this smart water valve provides the necessary telemetry and mechanical shut-off required for modern leak detection systems.

• Instantaneous Response: Triggers automatic water shut-off within seconds of moisture detection to mitigate asset damage and mold growth.
• Contractor-Focused Design: Features a lead-free ball valve with a standard 1/2" NPT connection, compatible with standard copper, PEX, or threaded pipe layouts.
• Scalable Protection: Supports up to 500 feet of additional sensor cabling and integrates with wireless freeze detectors for comprehensive environmental monitoring.
• Reliable Connectivity: Built-in WiFi and Bluetooth 4.1 facilitate rapid commissioning through the Resideo Pro app, providing real-time valve status and leak alerts.
• Mechanical Fail-Safe: Includes a physical manual override lever, allowing technicians or occupants to cycle the valve during power outages or maintenance cycles.

Can the L5 actuator be installed on an existing ball valve?
The VWS02Y-1/2 is provided as a factory-mated kit. To ensure proper torque delivery and alignment, the L5 WiFi actuator should be used with the included 1/2" NPT ball valve. Attempting to retrofit the actuator onto third-party valves may compromise the automatic water shut-off timing.

What happens to the valve during a power failure?
The valve will remain in its last known position (Open or Closed) if power is lost. However, the integrated manual override handle allows a technician to depress the clutch and manually rotate the ball valve to restore or cut off flow without needing electrical power.

How many sensors can be linked to a single VWS02Y-1/2 unit?
One L5 actuator can be paired with up to 30 Resideo WiFi leak and freeze detectors, making it a highly effective central control hub for complex leak detection systems in larger mechanical rooms or crawlspaces.
