NetafimNylon and PVC Agricultural Valves

SHARE

Nylon and PVC Valves offer structural simplicity and superior hydraulic performance for surface or subsurface agricultural applications. The valves operate by pipeline or external pressure and the reinforced rubber diaphragm seals the water passage when the line pressure reaches the valve’s control chamber. They are simple to install with slip or threaded connections and available in 1” to 6” sizes. Netafim offers 3-Way Control Nylon and PVC Valves and two models of 2-Way Control Nylon Valves. The PBI 2-Way Electric Control Valve is standard with a throttling handle, has a built-in solenoid and large internal water passage with no moving parts to prevent clogging. The Series 80 2-Way Electric Control Valve is suitable for high pressure applications, has quick reaction to opening and closing and has a flow control stem.

Features & Benefits

  • Superb hydraulic performance.
  • Simple design with only one moving component, the diaphragm, means parts are not located in the water passage way.
  • Low operating pressure.
  • Simple inline installation with minimal maintenance requirements for maximum dependability.
  • Durable, corrosion-resistant materials provide high resistance to corrosive water containing fertilizer and chemicals.
  • Nylon valves have threaded connections.
  • PVC valves have threaded or socket (slip) connections allowing pipes to be cemented into the valves.

Applications

  • Headworks assemblies for use in advanced treatment wastewater drip dispersal systems
  • Ideal for water control in all piping networks
  • Above or below grade installations
  • Remote control irrigation for master valves and automated or manual operations
  • Nylon valves are ideal for mild corrosive and acidity levels in the water
  • PVC Valves are ideal for higher corrosive and acidity levels in the water

Features & Benefits

  • Durable, glass reinforced nylon construction provides superb hydraulic performance.
  • Large internal water passage with no moving parts in the flow path prevents clogging.
  • Built-in 2-Way Solenoid with low power requirement for ease of operation and reliability
  • Simple installation either vertically or horizontally.
  • High resistance to corrosive water containing fertilizer and chemicals.

Applications

  • Ideal for mild corrosive and mild acidity levels in the water

Features & Benefits

  • Suitable for high pressure applications with quick reaction to opening and closing.
  • Exceptionally low inrush and holding current allows the longest wire run from valve to controller.
  • Quick reaction to opening and closing and a drip-tight seal for accurate irrigation.
  • Stable solenoid to voltage fluctuations with low sensitivity to dirt - no diode solenoid.
  • Integrated check valve ensures valve remains closed until the controller designates opening.
  • Flow control stem allows manual control from full closure up to maximum capacity.

Applications

  • Ideal for mild corrosive and mild acidity levels in the water
