Rain Bird 300-BPES 3" Brass Scrubber Valve with Flow Control - 300BPES

Rain Bird 300-BPES 3" Brass Scrubber Valve with Flow Control - 300BPES

Rain Bird 300-BPES 3" brass irrigation valve combines durable brass construction with a glass-filled nylon bonnet and a patented nylon scrubber to resist debris, effluent water, and pressure surges. Designed for commercial and municipal irrigation systems.

Engineered for reliable, low-maintenance operation, the 300-BPES is ideal for systems handling dirty or reclaimed water where clogging can be an issue. See Rain Bird technical specs and manual for installation, pressure-loss tables, and spare parts details.

Features

• Size & configuration: 3" NPT female x NPT female; globe or angle installations; inline valve design for versatile setup.
• Materials: Red brass body with glass-filled nylon bonnet and stainless steel screen for long service life in harsh conditions.
• Flow & pressure: Operates from 60–300 gpm and 20–200 psi; extremely low pressure loss across operating range.
• Electrical: 24 VAC solenoid; inrush 0.41 A (9.8 VA) and holding 0.14 A (3.43 VA); coil resistance 30–39 Ω nominal.
• Options & serviceability: Field-installable PRS-D pressure-regulating module, manual internal and external bleed ports, and replaceable spool and seats.

What our Experts Think

• Heavy-duty commercial valve platform: The Rain Bird 300-BPES 3" Brass Scrubber Valve is built for demanding irrigation systems where durability and reliability are critical.
• Hybrid brass construction: Combines a red brass body with a glass-filled nylon bonnet for high strength, corrosion resistance, and long service life in harsh environments.
• Integrated scrubber technology: Patented internal scrubber continuously cleans the stainless-steel screen, reducing clogging from debris, grit, and organic matter.
• High-flow performance: Designed for large systems handling roughly 60–300 GPM, making it suitable for golf courses, sports fields, and commercial landscapes.
• Flow control precision: Built-in flow adjustment allows fine-tuning of zone output for balanced irrigation and system efficiency.
• Hydraulic protection: Slow-closing diaphragm design helps prevent water hammer and reduces stress on pipes and fittings.
• Smart maintenance features: Internal/external bleed functions enable easy manual operation and system flushing during installation or servicing.
• Professional-grade reliability: Engineered for continuous cycling under pressure with strong solenoid performance for automated control systems.
• Built for serious irrigation infrastructure: Best suited for large-scale, professional installations—not typical residential systems due to size and complexity.
