PGA Series
Plastic Industrial Irrigation Valves

Primary Applications:

Plastic globe/angle valve for residential/light commercial irrigation applications. The PGA Series offers versatility at an affordable price.

Features and Benefits:

• 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 operates the valve without allowing water into the valve box. Allows 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.
• Accommodates optional, field-installed PRS-D pressure regulating module to ensure optimum sprinkler performance.
• Accepts latching solenoid for use with Rain Bird battery-operated controllers.
• Optional purple flow control handle for non-potable water applications PGA-NP-HAN1 (1" and 1 1/2"); PGA-NP-HAN2 (2").

Models:

• 100-PGA: 1" (26/34)
• 150-PGA: 1 1/2" (40/49)
• 200-PGA: 2" (50/60)
  All models available with BSP threads.

1. Rain Bird recommends flow rates in the supply line not to exceed 7.5 feet/second (2,3 m/s) in order to reduce the effects of water hammer.
2. 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.
3. 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.

• Flow with PRS-D option: 5 to 150 GPM (1 to 34 m³/h; 0,32 to 9,44 l/s)
• Temperature: Up to 110° F (43° C)
• 24 VAC 50/60 Hz (cycles per second) solenoid power requirement:
