Rain Bird - 1.5" PGAIVM Series Valve with IVM-SOL

The Rain Bird IVM150PGA is a 1.5" commercial-grade irrigation valve with an integrated IVM-SOL “smart solenoid” preinstalled. Designed specifically for use with ESP-LXIVM two-wire systems, it eliminates the need for separate decoders—cutting wire splices in half and improving system reliability. With proven PGA Series durability and the added intelligence of two-way communication, this valve supports advanced diagnostics, faster response times, and increased efficiency for demanding commercial and municipal irrigation applications.

Key Features:

• Preinstalled IVM-SOL provides two-way communication with controller
• Reduces system cost and complexity by removing need for decoder
• Globe and angle configurations for flexible installation
• Captive internal components for easy maintenance
• Forward-flow, normally closed design for standard irrigation operation
• Flow control handle enables manual adjustment of output
• Compatible with optional PRS-D pressure-regulating module

Construction & Durability:

• Body made of high-impact PVC with glass-filled nylon bonnet
• Stainless steel screws resist corrosion
• Filtered pilot flow design prevents clogging from debris
• Slow-closing mechanism minimizes water hammer damage
• Built for continuous operation in systems up to 150 PSI

Performance & Functionality:

• Flow range: 2–150 GPM (without PRS-D), 5–150 GPM (with PRS-D)
• Operating pressure range: 15 to 150 PSI
• Water temperature: up to 150°F (66°C)
• Ambient temperature: up to 125°F (52°C)
• Pressure loss at 100 GPM: approx. 11.7 PSI (angle configuration)

Ease of Installation & Use:

• IVM-SOL and valve come integrated—no solenoid swap required
• Fewer wire splices speed up installation and reduce failure risk
• Manual internal bleed allows valve testing without flooding valve box
• Top-access serviceability simplifies maintenance
