Ideal Standard Solenoid Magnet Valve (Cartridge Only) — A960151NU
The Ideal Standard A960151NU is a genuine factory replacement bi-stable magnetic solenoid valve core engineered for commercial and domestic touchless electronic basin taps. Operating via a low-power electrical impulse from the tap's infra-red sensor module, this valve mechanically opens and closes water delivery. Supplied without the external brass housing body, it allows direct servicing of the internal coil, plunger, and diaphragm assembly without removing or replumbing the existing in-line pipework housing.
