• Temperature: up to 150° F (66° C) upstream filtration to prevent debris from collecting below the diaphragm.
3) For flows below 10 gpm (2.27 m3⁄h; 37.8 l/m) Rain Bird recommends the
flow control stem be turned down two full turns from the fully open position. Note: Valve and PRS-D module must be ordered separately.

at 20 psi (1.38 bar).
The valve construction shall be such as to
provide for all internal parts to be removable
from the top of the valve without disturbing
the valve installation.
