• Heavy-duty, UV- and weather-resistant plastic body for long-term outdoor use
• Stainless steel phillips head screws (1.25”) resist corrosion and allow easy servicing
• Buna-N diaphragm with 90-mesh (200 micron) pilot water filter for debris resistance

Performance & Functionality:

• Pressure range: 15 to 150 PSI
• Flow range: 0.2–40 GPM (100-DV and 100-DVF models)
• Double-filtered pilot-flow path ensures high performance and clog resistance
• Internal and external bleed for manual operation and system flushing
• Operates in low-flow and Xerigation® applications with RBY filter installed upstream
