K-Rain 7075-NFC Irrigation Valve

Yes, this valve is well-suited for non-potable water sources. It features a self-cleaning diaphragm filter screen that helps prevent debris buildup, ensuring the valve continues to operate reliably even when using water from wells or lakes.

Yes, it supports manual operation without requiring external water discharge. This allows you to easily start up your system or run zones manually without needing to open the valve at the solenoid.

This is a standard electric inline valve, so it is compatible with most residential irrigation controllers that use standard 24V AC solenoids. It is designed as a direct replacement for most 0.75-inch residential valve setups.

Maintenance is straightforward thanks to the thoughtful design. The solenoid can be removed for servicing without the risk of losing the internal plunger, and the valve body is compatible with multiple tool types, making it easy to open and clean when necessary.

The straight-through flow path is engineered to minimize friction loss as water passes through the valve. This results in higher hydraulic efficiency, allowing your sprinkler system to maintain better pressure and performance compared to valves with more restrictive internal designs.

No, this is a standard inline valve and does not include an anti-siphon feature. You will need to ensure your irrigation system design complies with local plumbing codes regarding backflow prevention, which may require a separate backflow preventer installed upstream.
