Zurn Weathermatic 8200CR-12D Bronze Bullet Valve, 1-1/4" - 8200CR-12D
The Weathermatic 8200CR-12D Bronze Bullet Valve is a heavy-duty, contamination-resistant irrigation valve engineered for reliable underground installation and long service life. Designed for professional contractors and maintenance teams, this 1-1/4" valve combines robust bronze construction with proven hydraulic and electrical performance to control landscape and turf irrigation efficiently.
Suitable for buried irrigation systems, the 8200CR-12D accepts optional accessories such as the XPR pressure regulator and non-potable alert flow handle. Refer to the manufacturer's product literature and technical specifications for electrical VA, full flow charts, and installation details. The valve is covered by a 10-year limited manufacturer warranty for trade use.
Features
-
Durable construction: Bronze body and cover with stainless steel cover bolts and a brass shock cone for long life and corrosion resistance; bronze material contains high copper content for improved durability.
-
Performance rating: 225 PSI (15.5 BAR) cold working pressure (CWP) rating and a wide flow range suitable for low- and high-volume irrigation applications.
-
Reliable operation: S24B high-efficiency solenoid provides positive opening at high pressures; solenoid is encapsulated and moisture-resistant for underground use.
-
Contamination resistance: EPDM diaphragm with self-cleaning ports resists sand and silt blockage; design is chloramine- and chlorine-resistant for potable and non-potable systems.
-
Water-conserving reverse-flow design: Valve is diaphragm-operated and normally closed; reverse-flow design causes automatic closure in the event of diaphragm failure to prevent uncontrolled flow.
-
User features & serviceability: Internal manual bleed lever with positive stops, external adjustable flow control stem, and serviceable diaphragm assembly without removing valve body from the pipeline.
What our Experts Think
Q&A
Q: What is the Zurn Weathermatic 8200CR-12D 1-1/4" Bronze Bullet Valve with Flow Control used for?
A: It is a commercial-grade 1-1/4" irrigation solenoid valve used to control water flow in landscape, golf course, sports field, and municipal irrigation systems.
Q: What type of valve is the 8200CR-12D?
A: It is a normally-closed, 24VAC bronze diaphragm “Bullet Valve” with built-in flow control for precise zone regulation.
Q: What are the key features?
A: Bronze body construction, 225 PSI pressure rating, reverse-flow diaphragm design, internal manual bleed, and external flow control for throttling water output.
Q: What does the flow control do?
A: It allows adjustment of water volume through the valve, helping balance irrigation zones, reduce misting, and improve system efficiency.
Q: Why is bronze construction important?
A: It provides high corrosion resistance and long service life in harsh outdoor and high-pressure irrigation environments.
Q: Where is it typically installed?
A: In commercial irrigation mains and lateral lines where durable, high-flow zone control is required.
Q: Is it serviceable?
A: Yes, it is fully rebuildable with replaceable internal components without removing the valve from the pipeline.
Maintenance Tips
- Inspect regularly for leaks, corrosion, or body and fitting damage.
- Verify proper 24VAC solenoid operation during irrigation cycles.
- Flush the system periodically to reduce sediment and debris buildup.
- Check electrical connections and solenoid for secure, moisture-free operation.
- Replace worn diaphragms, seals, or solenoid components with compatible repair kits as needed.
- Ensure proper flow and pressure settings for consistent zone performance.
- Winterize in freezing conditions to prevent internal valve damage and extend service life.
