RAIN BIRD GB SERIES VALVES:

Rain Bird GB Series Valves are durable brass performance valves for commercial applications.

The Rain Bird GB Series embodies classic hardware and classic performance. This valve series consists of red brass construction resulting in longer life and more rugged performance. The Rain Bird GB Series Valve is slow closing to prevent water hammer and subsequent system damage. Choose Rain Bird GB Series for quality heavy-duty performance.

• Red brass construction for longer life and more rugged performance.
• Reverse flow feature ensures valves fail in the closed position if the diaphragm tears or rips. Prevents flooding, water waste and landscape damage.
• Slow closing to prevent water hammer and subsequent system damage.
• One-piece solenoid design with captured plunger and spring for easy servicing. Prevents loss of parts during field service.
• Manual internal and external bleed. Internal bleed manually operates the valve without allowing water into the valve box; allows pressure regulator to be adjusted without turning the valve on at the controller first.
• External bleed permits flushing debris from the system, recommended for system start up and repairs.
• Flow control handle adjusts water flow as needed.
• Accommodates optional, field installed PRS-D pressure regulating module to ensure maximum sprinkler performance.
• Accepts latching solenoid for use with Rain Bird battery operated controllers.
• Optional purple flow control handle for non-potable water applications (EFB-GB-NP-HAN).

• Pressure: 15 to 200 psi (1,0 to 13,8 bar)
• Flow: 5 to 200 GPM (1 to 45 m3/h; 0,32 to 12,60 l/s)
• Temperature: Up to 150 degrees F (66 degrees C)
• 24 VAC 50/60 Hz (cycles per second) solenoid power requirement:
• 0.41 A (9.9 8VA) inrush current; 0.28 A (6.7 VA) holding current
• Solenoid coil resistance: 24 Ohms, nominal

1. Rain Bird recommends flow rates in the supply line not to exceed 7.5 ft./sec. (2,3 m/s) in order to reduce the effects of water hammer.
2. For flows below 5 GPM (1,14 m3/h; 0,32 l/s), Rain Bird recommends use of upstream filtration to prevent debris from collecting below the diaphragm.
3. For flows below 10 GPM (2,27 m3/h; 0,63 l/s) Rain Bird recommends the flow control stem be turned down two full turns from the fully open position.
