Does anon have a good source for electrically controlled steam and water valve?

[GeekSpirits]

I am hoping to do some automation for my still, mash tank, and fermentation tanks but need to find an electrically controlled steam and water valve. Ideally either 0-10V control, proportional. Anyone else doing this and have a source for valves.

Just Google "steam valves controls" you need one that has a stepped motor mounted on it. It should be easy to get, but cashy.

Doing anything with electric heat and or controlling water is easy!

Take care!

Stepped motor valves are spendy! So are pilot-controlled proportional steam valves.

The most cost-effective solution I came up with was PNEUMATIC proportional steam valves. Awesome for cooling as well.

If you aren't bothered by snap-clicking valves, a standard steam solenoid works pretty well with a standard PID temp controller. Available from McMaster Carr for under $200 on the 3/4" and under $500 for 1".
