DIG Irrigation Valves

No, this valve is specifically designed for battery-operated controllers. It uses a DC latching solenoid, which requires a DC pulse to open and close, rather than the continuous AC power used by standard residential irrigation timers.

A normally closed valve stays shut by default, preventing water flow until it receives an electrical signal from your controller. This is a safety feature that ensures your irrigation system remains off if the power is cut or the controller fails.

Yes, it features manual flow control. This allows you to fine-tune the water output directly at the valve, which is helpful if you need to restrict flow to specific zones or prevent over-watering.

FPT stands for Female Pipe Thread. This means the valve has threaded inlets and outlets that screw directly onto male-threaded pipes or adapters. You generally only need basic plumbing tools, like channel locks or a pipe wrench, to ensure a watertight connection.

Yes, the valve includes a manual bleed override. This allows you to open the valve manually to water your lawn or garden even without power from the controller.

It is rated for an operating pressure range of 10 to 150 PSI. As long as your system pressure falls within this range, the valve will function reliably.
