How to Get It
Product Overview
This professional grade anti-siphon valve replaces Rain Bird and other irrigation valves installed above ground with 1 in. female threaded inlet and outlet. It can be used with any 24 volt AC irrigation timer. Its unique reverse-flow design helps prevent flooding in the event of internal diaphragm failure, keeping the valve closed and saving water. Anti-Siphon valves should always be installed at least 6 inches above the highest head on the valve line, and should never have another valve installed further down the line from the main valve. After installation and before startup, always the flush system of dirt and debris manually using the valve's external bleed screw. Equipped with the additional advantage of adjustable flow control, this model helps prevent wasteful misting when water pressure is too high. A top mounted, easy turn flow control knob allows you to optimize flow to the zone, permitting sprinklers to water at their most efficient rate for more uniform coverage. This valve can be applied with all types of watering devices including Rain Bird spray heads (1800, 600), and rotors (22SA, 32SA, 42SA+, 52SA, LG3 and AG5) as well as Drip zones when properly installed together with a pressure regulator and filter.
- Professional grade 1" anti-siphon valve with flow control; compatible with any standard sprinkler timer
- Designed for above ground installation, will prevent back flow when properly installed 6" above highest sprinkler head
- Reverse Flow design reduces stress on diaphragm for dependable operation
- Energy efficient, low power encapsulated solenoid with captured plunger
- Heavy duty diaphragm provides superior performance in harsh water environments
- External bleed to manually flush system of dirt and debris during installation and system start up
- Heavy-duty construction with stainless steel screws
- 24 VAC, 50/60 Hz automatic operation or manual activation with bleed screw
- Easy To Install With 3/4 In. Male Threaded Pipe adapters With Teflon Tape
- Flow Range 0.2 to 22 GPM; for less than 3 GPM flow or Drip applications install a 200 mesh filter before the valve

Have had good luck with these valves. They hold up well to the higher pressure and last a long time. The last one had a bad solenoid, but returns at HD are easy. The new one is working great.

After draining the system, this heavy duty valve is able to survive the winter in freezing conditions vs the cheaper valve which ends up cracking and leaking after the winter.

It works
Had a previous version installed but was missing the cap, For whatever reason, the cap is almost as expensive as the entire valve, so just went with a new valve.
I'm using it manually, so I cant speak to the product as a whole (Hence 4 stars and not 5), but it works perfect for what I need.
I lucked out when I purchased my home, although the previous valve was missing it's cap, who ever installed the system did so with the ability to detach one of the pvc pipes that were leading from this valve. My neighbor had a similar problem with his valve, but he had to cut pipes to get it off. Remember this if your installing a new system, or even replacing. Both pipes screw into the valve, and it's 1 piece.

Best purchase ever
Had rain birds lasted 12 years.Replaced 3 of them with new rain birds.Was really easy to assemble, easy to set up. with no problems.Love the flow control. They last a long time. 8-10 years or more if boxed and insulated.
This valve rates up there with high end Hunter valves.
If you have the extra fey bucks buy a rain bird, spend the $16.27 and you will not be disappointed and it will be worry free for years. Wouldn't go any other way.Rain bird is a trusted product.Would recommend this product.
