Rain Bird PGA Solenoid Valves

Rain Bird does not make a PGA Valve model specifically for reclaimed water applications. Because of the high chlorine content in reclaimed water, we recommend using our PESB-R Valves for this type of application. If you simply need an indication of non-potable use, Rain Bird does offer an optional purple flow control handle to replace the standard handle on the PGA Valve.

Yes. The PGA Valve, equipped with its standard EZ Bleed solenoid, is compatible with all two-wire systems.

The PRS-D allows the installer to precisely set the outlet pressure of the valve without having to throttle back the flow rate by means of the flow control.  Use of the flow control to set rotor or spray throw distances can cause other problems, especially when system pressures and flow rates can vary. The Rain Bird PRS-D, which is adjustable from 15 to 100 psi, can maintain a constant outlet pressure even under varying inlet pressure conditions. When supply pressure exceeds 110 psig, Rain Bird recommends the use of an inline filter upstream of the valve.

The internal bleed is for opening and closing the valve manually during system startups or inspections. By turning the solenoid ¼ to ¾ turns counterclockwise, the irrigation tech can simulate the opening of the solenoid port, which in turn opens the valve.
