Know before you buy
No, the Rain Bird CP100 does not provide backflow protection on its own. It must be installed downstream from a Pressure Vacuum Breaker (PVB) or a double check valve to meet safety requirements.
Yes, you can operate the valve manually by using the built-in manual bleed screw. This allows you to turn the zone on or off without needing an electrical signal from your controller.
The CP100 is compatible with any standard 24V AC irrigation controller. Its low-power encapsulated solenoid is designed to work seamlessly with almost all residential sprinkler timers.
This model features a durable Buna-N diaphragm, which is specifically chosen for its resilience against debris and harsh water conditions. Additionally, the non-clogging design helps ensure reliable performance over time.
The valve is designed to operate effectively within a pressure range of 15 to 150 psi. Ensure your system's water pressure falls within these limits for optimal performance and to prevent potential leaks.
Yes, the reverse flow design helps reduce stress on the diaphragm during operation. This structural advantage helps extend the lifespan of the valve by minimizing wear and tear during the opening and closing cycles.
