Durable Plastic – chlorine resistant Professional Plastic Irrigation
Valves for reclaimed water irrigation applications

Features
• Plastic diaphragm and scrubber components molded of chlorine-
and chemical-resistant plastic material
• Durable glass-filled nylon construction for long life and heavy-duty
performance at 200 psi (13,80 bars) pressure
• Stainless steel studs molded into the body. Bonnet can be attached

• Regulation: 15 to 100 psi (1.04 to 6.9 bar)

pressure regulation can be maintained only up to 100 psi (6.9 bar)

Model
• PRS-D
PRS-Dial
Application Information
• Proper operation requires inlet pressure to be a minimum of
15 psi (1.04 bar) higher than desired outlet pressure
• For areas with very high pressure or uneven terrain, install
sprinklers with PRS pressure regulating stems and/or SAM
check valves
• When inlet pressure exceeds 100 psi (6.9 bar), a pressure
regulating master valve or inline pressure regulator is required
• Rain Bird does not recommend using the pressure regulating
module for applications outside the recommended flow ranges
• To reduce the effects of water hammer, Rain Bird recommends PRS-Dial cutaway
flow rates in the supply line not to exceed 7.5 ft/sec (2.29 m/s)
• For flows below 10 gpm (2.27 m3/h; 37.8 l/m), Rain Bird recommends
the flow control stem be turned down two full turns from the fully
open position
