-
Reverse-flow diaphragm design: Helps reduce water hammer, improves reliability, and ensures fail-closed safety in diaphragm failure conditions.
-
Self-cleaning internal ports: Minimizes clogging from sand and debris for more consistent long-term operation.
-
Serviceable in the field: Replaceable diaphragm and internal components allow maintenance without removing the valve body from the pipeline.
-
Manual bleed + flow control: Built-in adjustments allow quick manual operation and precise flow tuning during installation or servicing.
Q&A
Maintenance Tips
- Inspect regularly for leaks, diaphragm wear, and external corrosion, especially after seasonal pressure spikes.
- Keep valve box clean and dry to prevent sediment, debris, and moisture-related electrical issues.
- Flush irrigation lines periodically to reduce sediment buildup that can affect valve sealing and flow.
- Check 24VAC solenoid wiring and connections for tightness and waterproofing to ensure reliable operation.
- Test both manual and automatic operation seasonally to confirm proper zone performance.
- Ensure system pressure stays within rated limits (up to 225 PSI) to avoid long-term stress.
- In cold climates, perform proper winterization and drainage to prevent freeze damage to bronze components.
