Rain Bird DV/DVF Series Irrigation Valves – Diaphragm Control Valves

The Rain Bird DV/DVF Series represents a technical standard in diaphragm valve technology, engineered for residential and light commercial irrigation systems. These valves feature a double-filtered (diaphragm and solenoid) pilot-flow design that maximizes grit resistance and prevents clogging in diverse water conditions. The balanced-pressure diaphragm is constructed for longevity, providing consistent performance across a wide operational pressure range of 15 to 150 psi (1.0 to 10.4 bar). The series is available in multiple configurations, including the 075-DV (3/4″) and 100-DV (1″) non-flow control models, as well as the 100-DVF model which incorporates a manual flow control mechanism for precise downstream adjustment.

Technical specifications highlight a low-power encapsulated solenoid with a captured plunger, requiring an inrush current of 0.450A and a holding current of 0.250A at 24 VAC. For versatility, the valves support flow rates from 0.2 to 40 GPM, making them suitable for both standard sprinklers and landscape drip applications when paired with a 200-mesh filter. The hardware is designed for ease of maintenance, featuring captive multi-drive screws and an internal bleed for manual, spray-free operation. Built to withstand water temperatures up to 110°F (43°C) and ambient air temperatures up to 125°F (52°C), the DV/DVF Series is an engineered solution for professionals requiring a rugged, reliable valve that integrates seamlessly with any standard irrigation controller while protecting against backflow in accordance with local city codes.
