Rain Bird 150-PGA Irrigation Valve for 1 1/2 Inlet

The PGA Series offers versatility at an affordable price. It is a plastic globe/angle valve designed for residential/light commercial irrigation applications. To ensure optimum sprinkler performance, the valve can accommodate a field-installed PRSD pressure regulating module, which regulates up to 100 psi (6.90 bar). The valve features purple flow control handles for easy identification of nonpotable water systems. Available models include the PEBNPHAN1 (1") and the PEBNPHAN2 (1 1/2" and 2").

The valve is compatible with latching solenoids for use with Rain Bird battery-operated controllers, with a maximum pressure rating of 150 psi (10.35 bar). It offers several key features:

• Globe and angle configuration for flexibility in design and installation
• Rugged PVC construction for reliable operation
• Normally closed, forward flow design
• Double-filtered pilot flow to resist debris and clogging of solenoid ports
• Slow closing to prevent water hammer and subsequent system damage
• Manual internal bleed to operate the valve without allowing water into the valve box, allowing pressure regulator adjustment without turning the valve on at the controller
• One-piece solenoid design with captured plunger and spring for easy servicing, preventing loss of parts during field service
