RAINBIRD ELECTRIC VALVE PGA FEMALE 1 1/2'' D/C

Plastic Residential/Commercial Irrigation Valves. Built for high-end residential and light commercial applications, Rain Bird® PGA series valves are the toughest, most reliable valves in their class. These long-lasting, easy-to-service valves are proven to perform at the highest level, even under harsh temperatures and intense pressure. 

Extreme Durability 

The PGA valve maintains a strong, worry-free seal between the body and bonnet, no matter the conditions. In Thermal Cycle Testing, hundreds of PGA valves were exposed to extreme temperature swings and intense pressures. The result—zero leaks.

Pressure-Resistant Seal 

The PGA valve’s body-to-bonnet seal is built to overcome the intense water pressure common on many commercial sites. Faced with repeated pressure surges well into the triple digits, our valves outlasted the nearest competitor more than 2 ½ times to 1 in Cycle Surge Testing.

Quiet Performance

With a robust electrical design, the PGA valve greatly reduces noise and delivers years of reliable performance. So not only will you have peace of mind, you'll have peace and quiet.

Reliability

• Water-tight seal between the body and bonnet for maximum confidence, even in the most extreme conditions.
• Robust electrical design for quiet performance you can count on.
• Rugged PVC and glass-filled nylon construction for reliable operation.
• Normally closed, forward flow design.
• Filtered pilot flow to resist debris and clogging.
• Slow closing to prevent water hammer and subsequent system damage.

Ease of Use

• Multi-drive screws (Phillips, flathead, hexagonal) for easy maintenance.
• Globe and angle configuration for flexibility in design and installation.
• Manual internal bleed operates the valve without allowing water into the valve box. This allows the pressure regulator to be adjusted without turning the valve on at the controller.
• One-piece solenoid design with captured plunger and spring for easy servicing. Prevents loss of parts during field service.
• Non-rising flow control handle adjusts water flow as needed. Rain Bird recommends flow rates in the supply line not to exceed 2,3 m/s in order to reduce the effects of water hammer.
• For flows below 5 GPM (1 m3/h; 32 l/s), Rain Bird recommends use of upstream filtration to prevent debris from collecting below the diaphragm.
• For flows below 10 GPM (2 m3/h; 63 l/s) Rain Bird recommends the flow control stem be turned down two full turns from the fully open position.
• Accepts latching solenoid for use with Rain Bird battery-operated controllers.
