Key Features & Practical Benefits
Extreme Pressure and Surge Resistance
The advanced bonnet-to-body sealing system maintains a strong, leak-free seal even under severe pressure fluctuations.. a common issue in large irrigation networks.
During repeated surge testing above 150 PSI, the PGA valve outperformed comparable valves by more than 2.5 times in cycle endurance.
Quiet Electrical Operation
The integrated 24 V AC solenoid is engineered for smooth and silent operation.
No clicking. No whistling. Just reliable performance that suits villas, compounds, and commercial facilities.
Globe or Angle Installation.. One Valve, Two Configurations
The valve ships configured for Globe installation and can be easily converted to Angle configuration by relocating the inlet plug.
This flexibility simplifies system design and eliminates the need to stock multiple valve types.
Precision Non-Rise Flow Control
The non-rise flow control handle allows precise water adjustment without handle lift.
This protects sprinklers from overpressure and improves irrigation efficiency across zones.
Dual Filtration System
Dual internal filters protect the diaphragm and solenoid pathways from debris and sediment.
Reliable operation.. even with moderate water quality.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between 2-inch and 1.5-inch PGA valves?
The main difference is flow capacity. The 2-inch valve supports up to 150 GPM.. making it ideal for high-demand irrigation zones.
Can the valve be used with slightly saline well water?
Yes. The PVC construction resists corrosion. Regular filter cleaning every 3–6 months is recommended.
Is the valve UV resistant?
Yes. UV stabilizers are included in the PVC material. Installation inside a valve box is still recommended.
Can the valve operate without electricity?
Yes. Manual operation is possible using the internal bleed handle during testing or power outages.
