Rain Bird PRF07530S Drip Irrigation In-Line 30 PSI Pressure Regulating Y Filter, 3/4" Male Pipe Thread

I used this step-down in-line valve to reduce the PSI (down to 30 PSI) on a new zone I created off my 3/4” irrigation system which I specifically designed (with 1/2” black tubing, 1/4” spaghetti lines and drip emitters) to water flowering pots in our courtyard that get full sun. This summer has been brutally hot; so I also created a Program B off my Rain Bird controller that waters the pots, not once, but twice each day for short periods. I’ll have to adjust that as we get into the fall, but I’m very pleased with the result.I should add I’ve used these valves on two other zones… the spray type sprinkler heads were keeping the bottom halves of our shutters wet and they were rotting well before their time. I stepped-down the zones replaced the sprinkler heads and installed drip tubing (brown tubing with small holes every 12”) and am very pleased with that as well.

Good value just need to make sure you get the right fitting to attach in line bought an orbit timer to go with this and it is Malin to mail and make sure you get a coupler if you need it

I installed this regulator in March. So far the irrigation system is consistently using the same amount of water on each cycle. I haven't tried the cleanout feature yet but I will this fall.

This filter / pressure regulator is just perfect for drip systems. Most installations put a filter behind the valve. Many of these are made of polypropylene and are not rated for supply side pressure. Here's a trick not commonly shared. Put this filter / regulator behind a shutoff valve for servicing, then install your valves and install your drip systems. Guess what? you now are protecting not only your drip lines with a 200 micron filter and taking the pressure down to 30 #s , but your protecting your valves, all with one filter. This unit is rated for 150 #s, so unless you have really high pressure on your supply side, this will do the trick.This is available in a 1 inch size with 40 lb. regulation. If you install this model on a 3/4 in. line, you will just need two reducing adapters. I would also add a union, yes they are made in PVC, to make removal / installation easier.
