Relay for controlling a solenoid valve in a washing machine

Artem asks:

Good evening! Please help with the choice of the (actual) relay. There is a situation: the parents have an automatic machine in their dacha, you need to somehow "put it on" so that it works from the "baby" pump. After wandering around the Internet and a little thought, I decided to do this:

Make a closed power circuit for the "baby", which will be closed by a relay connected in parallel to the magnetic valve in the washing machine, which is controlled by the washing machine's programmer. In theory, when the machine "needs" water, it will open the valve by applying a voltage of 220V to it, the valve will open, at the same time turning on the relay, which will close the "baby" circuit and water will flow. When there is enough water, the washer will close the valve and, it turns out, will open the baby's power supply circuit.

Everything is easy and simple, but here's the situation:

a) I am not good at electrics and (so far) I only understand how an ordinary relay of only this type works (it is 12 V, because everything is very clear visually):

Relay 12V 5A
b) I have 2 VALVES on my typewriter, which work separately. That is, you can throw 2 relays by connecting them at the output (so that turning on any valve starts the pump, but does not turn on the second valve). Ideally, I would like to find a relay in which there are 4 "inputs" (2 independent 220 each), and 3 standard outputs (main and NO with NC).

By the way, if I'm not mistaken, then I need to connect to NO, so that when voltage is applied, it closes and turns on the baby. That is, it is interesting to know: is there such a relay where you can connect 2 wires from one valve and 2 from the other, and the flow of current through any of these two pairs closed the baby's power circuit. (as in diagram 2) or what relays are there that are suitable for 1 diagram?

Thank you very much. I apologize in advance for my "art".

Hello! Here is the first diagram - this is what you need. Use two relays. Have you measured the voltage, which is suitable for the valve? 220v? You can take the same 12V relay as you sent it. Here is a video on using a 24V relay with 220V control.

Do it by analogy. Why do you need both NC and NO contacts? In theory, only the NO group is needed. If you don't want to bother, then buy a 220V relay. For example, intermediate relay ACCO LY2 10A AC-220V. And you need to buy a relay block (connector) for easy connection. It is called in stores like this: "Block under the ASKO LY2 PTF08A-E relay". Or any other relay.
