DV/DVF Series Valves

Home DV/DVF Series Valves

Diaphragm valve – the industry leader for over 25 years

The Rain Bird DV/DVF valve is the premium valve product chosen by more professionals than any other valve on the market. Its long history of reliable performance makes it the natural choice for your landscape. Its consistent, problem-free performance means you can spend less time thinking about your irrigation system and more time enjoying your landscape.

Use DV/DVF series valves in locations where the use of a separate pressure vacuum breaker (PVB) or a double-check valve is required by city codes to protect against back flow. Check your local city codes to determine what type of valves are required.

All of our residential valves work with any standard sprinkler timer.

Double-filtered (diaphragm and solenoid) pilot-flow design for maximum reliability and grit resistance
Buna-N, balanced pressure diaphragm with self-cleaning 90 mesh (200 micron) pilot water filter and captive spring
Energy-efficient, low-power encapsulated solenoid with captured plunger and 90-mesh (200 micron) solenoid filter
Unique, easy-to-turn patented pressure assisted flow control mechanism (DVF models only)
External bleed to manually flush system of dirt and debris during installation and system start-up
Internal bleed for spray-free manual operation
Accepts Rain Bird TBOS latching solenoid for use with most battery-operated controllers
Operates in low-flow and Landscape Drip applications when a 200 mesh filter is installed upstream
Not recommended for use with two-wire control systems
Unique, easy-to-turn patented pressure assisted flow control mechanism (DVF models only).

Pressure: 15 to 150 psi (1,0 to 10,4 bar)
075-DV Non-Flow Control Model: 0.2 to 22 GPM (0,05 to 5,0 m³/h; 0,01 to 1,39 l/s). For flows below 3 GPM (0,68 m³/h; 0,19 l/s) or any Landscape Drip application, use a 200 mesh filter installed upstream.
100-DV Non-Flow Control Model: 0.2 to 40 gpm (0,05 to 9.085 m³/h; 0,01 to 2,52 l/s). For flows below 3 gpm (0,68 m³/h; 0,19 l/s) or any Landscape Drip application, use a 200 mesh filter installed upstream.
100-DVF Flow Control Model: 0.2 to 40 gpm (0,05 to 9.085 m³/h; 0,01 to 2,52 l/s); For flows below 3 gpm (0,68 m³/h; 0,19 l/s) or any Landscape Drip application, use a 200 mesh filter installed upstream.

Recommendations:

Rain Bird recommends flow rates that result in discharge velocities in the supply line not to exceed 7.5 ft/sec (2.3 m/s) in order to reduce the effects of water hammer.
Rain Bird residential valves cannot be used with PRS pressure regulating modules.
Not recommended for use with two-wire systems.
