Source for washing machine flood stop valves

[mtennant]

I'm trying to prototype a water control system that requires valves similar to those used in flood stop systems designed for washing machines.

These valves are normally open, but I need normally closed.

These valves are unique in that they have 3/4 NPT male and female connectors, ready for use in a washing machine hose and connector environment.

I've searched the Internet and haven't seen any like them for sale.

Image of the valve is here.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
