• Double-filtered pilot-flow (diaphragm and solenoid) for superior grit resistance
• Buna-N diaphragm with self-cleaning 90-mesh pilot water filter
• Internal and external manual bleed for spray-free or debris-flush operation
• Encapsulated, energy-efficient solenoid with stainless steel plunger and 90-mesh filter
• Accepts TBOS latching solenoid for Rain Bird battery-operated controllers
• Compatible with low-flow and Xerigation® when upstream filter is used
• Durable body and stainless steel screws for field longevity

Construction & Durability:

• High-quality materials for long-term reliability
• Buna-N rubber diaphragm resists wear and chemical degradation
• 1.25" stainless steel Phillips head screws for secure fastening

Performance & Functionality:

• Pressure assisted flow control ensures optimal performance and adjustability
• Operates in challenging environments with debris thanks to dual filtration
• Ideal for Xerigation® and low-flow setups when paired with RBY filter
• Not compatible with PRS modules; use only with recommended systems

Ease of Installation & Use:

• Internal bleed for quiet manual testing without spray
• External bleed allows easy flush during installation and startup
• Works with standard sprinkler timers for seamless integration
• Tool-free solenoid servicing
