Dome Automation Water Main Shutoff Valve Bracket

thingiverse

Hi, I built this custom bracket to replace the bulky metal bracket that holds the Dome Water Main Shut-off valve in place. (Check out: https://www.domeha.com/z-wave-water-main-shut-off-valve) My valve only had a short section of pipe to attach to, so I designed and printed a low-profile bracket to support the valve and it has worked flawlessly for four years now. I created it about 4 years ago using PETG material with 4 walls, probably with a .4 nozzle at .2 layer height. PLA could work as well, but I prefer the mount to flex slightly when the valve is sticky rather than breaking like PLA can. The setup requires three M5 screws, two of which are over 30mm long, and two that should be about 22mm or longer with lock nuts. The ID of the clamp itself measures 34mm and is designed to fit snugly around the base of a standard water main valve. I wrapped some tape around the valve base to ensure a secure fit. This custom mount has been working perfectly on my setup for four years without any issues whatsoever.
