Series A2C-M
Automatic Washing Machine Water Shutoff Valve

The Watts IntelliFlow Automatic No. 2 (A2C-M) is equipped with a state of the art electric current sensing device. When the washer is turned on, the device senses the current flow to the washer and opens the valves.

Upon completion of the full wash cycle when the washer shuts off, the device will sense the lack of current and close the water valves. Such automatic operation protects against a water damage repair situation should a washing machine inlet hose burst while the machine is unattended.

When the shut-off valves are left on, the constant water pressure can cause hose fatigue. This can increase the potential for leakage or a burst hose.

For added protection the leak sensor will sense any leaks during the wash cycle and automatically shut off the water valves to prevent flooding & potential water damage if a leak occurs.

  • UL listed

Activation of the push button on the timer causes current flow, which is detected by the Intelliflow® then actuates the solenoid valves, allowing water to flow to the washing machine. This also begins a timing sequence of two hours, which, upon its completion de-energizes the IntelliFlow®. $142.71

    PlumbingStore.com - FAQS


    washing machine shutoff valves"If the power was to fail, would the water continue to flow through the valves or would the valve switch to the off position?"
    electric clothes washer valveDuring a power failure, the valve remains in whatever position it was in when the power failed. For example, if the valve is open and the power goes out, the valve will remain open. If the valve is closed when the power fails, the valve will remain closed.

    washing machine shutoff valves"I only have one cold valve and do not have a hot side as I wash my clothes with cold water. Can I still use this shutoff valve?"
    electric clothes washer valveThat's not a problem at all. This valve will work with only one side hooked up.
