Zooz ZAC36 LR Titan Water Valve Actuator: Yes
Catalog note
Runs on the included 12 V DC, 1 A power supply (ETL certified) with a 9.5 ft cord. If power is lost the actuator stays in its last position.

Valve

Installation Type

Moen Flo Smart Water Monitor + Shutoff: Inline valve
Zooz ZAC36 LR Titan Water Valve Actuator: Retrofit actuator

Motor Torque

Moen Flo Smart Water Monitor + Shutoff: Not applicable / unspecified
Zooz ZAC36 LR Titan Water Valve Actuator: 6 N·m
Catalog note
Zooz states 6 N·m, and says it stress-tested the actuator for more than 20,000 actions at 8 N·m of resistance. A normal valve needs about 1.5 to 3.5 N·m.

Pipe Sizes

Moen Flo Smart Water Monitor + Shutoff: 3/4", 1", 1-1/4"
Catalog note
Sold as 900-001 (3/4"), 900-006 (1") and 900-002 (1-1/4"), each with NPT threaded tailpieces.

Catalog note
Quarter-turn ball valves only, not gate valves or 180 degree valves, and not CPVC pipe. It needs 3 in of clearance each side of the valve center, 1.25 in between the handle and the pipe and 1 in between the pipe and the wall.

Valve Exercise

Moen Flo Smart Water Monitor + Shutoff: Yes
Catalog note
The automatic MicroLeak test closes the valve at least once a day and reopens it, so the valve is cycled daily.
Zooz ZAC36 LR Titan Water Valve Actuator: Yes
Catalog note
Check-in mode turns the valve about 1/8 of a turn on a schedule you set with the Auto Test parameter (every 30 days, for example) to confirm it still moves.
