Rain Bird Valves have a decades long reputation in the industry as the most reliable residential valves on the market. The HV valve follows in that grand tradition. They are tested to tough standards to ensure high performance for many years to come, making it a great residential valve choice.Rain Bird® HV valves install quickly, service easily, and deliver reliable performance you can count on – all at an affordable price. A more compact design makes it easier to install and allows you to put more valves in a single valve box. Heavy-duty construction and fewer screws simplify maintenance. Its reverse-flow design is engineered to stand up to the diverse and challenging needs of any landscape. Like all Rain Bird valves, HV Valves are built to work with any standard sprinkler timer.

Reliability:

• • Eccentric diaphragm for smooth closing, less water hammer
  • Glass-filled polypropylene body for strength
    (slip by slip model bodies are PVC)
  • Reverse flow normally closed design
  • Double-filtered pilot flow for maximum reliability
  • Balanced-pressure diaphragm for long life
  • Buna-N diaphragm with self-cleaning 90-mesh (200 micron) pilot water filter and stainless steel spring
  • Three-year trade warranty.

Versatility 

• • Compact design, 2.54” spin radius for tight installations
  • Operates in low-flow and Xerigation® applications when the RBY filter is installed upstream
  • Available in multiple fitting types
  • External bleed to manually flush system of dirt and debris during installation and system start up
  • Internal bleed for spray-free manual operation
  • Unique, easy-to-turn, pressure-assisted flow
    control mechanism option available

Ease of Service

• • Captive multi-drive screws for ease of access
  • Your choice of tools to open valve (nut driver, Phillips head screw driver, slotted head screw driver)
  • Four screws for quick access to diaphragm
  • Trouble-free service with few parts
  • Diaphragm locating post for positive installation
