Pressure-Regulating Filter
(RBY or Back Flush Filter)

Unique, compact unit that combines filtration and pressure
regulation in one unit for protection of downstream components in
a low-volume irrigation system.

  • The Pressure-Regulating (P/R) Filter reduces the number of components in a control zone, making it smaller and easier to install. More control zones can fit in one valve box!
  • Combination unit reduces the number of connections, making installation easier and faster.
  • The P/R Filter provides increased reliability--fewer parts and fewer threaded connections mean less chance of a leak both at installation and also over the life of the system.

Features

  • Available in either the static RBY filter or the self-cleaning Back Flush Filter, each of these units regulates pressure to a nominal 30 or 40 psi (2,0 or 2,8 bar).
  • P/R RBY Filter Cap has sealing o-ring and unthreads to provide access to the filter element for easy cleaning.
  • P/R Back Flush Filter provides self-cleaning action with every cycle, as debris is flushed every time the system is turned on and off.
  • 30 or 40 psi pressure regulator is integrated into filter body.
  • Robust body and cap are made of glass-filled polypropylene and provide 150 psi pressure rating.
  • Works with all valves to create a simple, efficient control zone.
  • Comes with 200 mesh (75 micron) screen pre-assembled.
  • Replacement filter elements are available in two configurations: 200 mesh (75 micron) and 150 mesh (100 micron).
