Electric shower valve and actuator

[fernandomierhicks]

Hi:

I have to control a regular shower electronically. I have been having problems selecting the right valve + actuator, I need a very compact design.

Does anyone know a company or any hints on how could I find a small "electronic valve" that handles normal house low pressure.

Thanks

Your problem would probably be finding a small enough ready available mixing valve.

Googling '3-way motorized mixing valve' would give you an oppurtunity to search nearby available types.

See typical sample below.

Keep the existing valve. Add a servo to it.
