Rain Bird's PGA series valves are now available with the "intelligent solenoid" Integrated Valve Module (IVM-SOL) pre-installed. The new IVM Smart Valves, when paired with the ESP-LXIVM two-wire programmer, eliminate decoders resulting in 50% wire connectors, which reduces system cost and improves reliability. During operation, the IVM-SOL provides bidirectional communication between the valve and the programmer to allow for advanced diagnostic capability and faster response time.
Features
- With industry-leading performance and reliability, Rain Bird's PGA series commercial valves are now even better with the pre-installed IVM-SOL
- The ESP-LXIVM Two-Wire Programmer is the next step forward by simplifying installation, improving reliability and enabling more time-saving troubleshooting features
- With 50% fewer connections, an IVM smart valve is already 200% more reliable out of the box compared to using a valve and decoder
- Globe and Angled configuration for greater flexibility at the design and installation level
- PVC and fiberglass-reinforced nylon construction
- Pilot flow with filter for resistance to debris and obstruction of solenoid ports
- Slow closing to prevent the effect of water hammer and consequent damage to the system
- The manual internal purge actuates the valve without allowing entry Valve box water intake
- One-piece solenoid with encapsulated plunger and spring to facilitate service operations and prevent loss of parts during field service
- O non-emerging flow control handle allows you to adjust flow as needed
- Normally closed and flow forward design
- Allows field installation of an optional PRSD pressure regulator module
