3" Brass Master Valve - Globe & Angle configuration

Rain Bird BPES 3" Brass Master Irrigation Valves are ruggedized to provide long life and efficient, trouble-free performance under adverse conditions.

With a unique construction combination of brass body and glass filled nylon cover, these valves are designed to withstand extreme pressure surges, effluent water and debris plugging.

For added protection, the BPES is equipped with a patented scrubber mechanism to actively combat dirt and particulates.

Features

• Unique hybrid construction with rugged red brass body and glass-filled nylon cover for long life at an affordable price.  
• Normally closed and forward-flow design  
• Slow closure to avoid water hammer effect and consequent system damage  
• Robust solenoid provides reliable performance even in constant operation  
• Flow control handle adjusts flow rates as required and incorporates a brass screw-in port for longer life  
• Manual internal bleed actuates the valve without allowing water into the valve box. Allows the pressure regulator to be adjusted without turning the valve on the controller  
• Manual external bleed eliminates debris from the system. Recommended for system start-up and repairs  
• Highly efficient operation with extremely low pressure loss  
• Patented nylon strainer scrapes a stainless steel mesh to clean and break down debris and plants. Prevents build-up and clogging  

Options

• Allows field installation of an optional PRSD pressure regulator module to ensure optimum sprinkler performance
