Bistable solenoid valves have two coils and can be switched by a momentary power supply. They will then remain in this position without power being applied.

A bistable solenoid valve, also known as a latching solenoid valve, is a good option where low power consumption is a priority. Installations in remote areas that run on battery power will particularly benefit from valves of this type.
