HV & HVF Series Valves

Outstanding performance. Unmatched durability.

• Eccentric diaphragm for smooth closing, less water hammer
• Compact design, 2.54 in. spin radius for tight installations (install more valves in a single valve box)
• Captive multi-drive screws for ease of access and faster bonnet removal
• Glass-filled polypropylene body for strength
• Your choice of tools to open valve (nut driver, Phillips head screw driver, slotted head screw driver)
• Four screws for quick access to diaphragm

  Features

  Rain Bird Valves have a decades long reputation in the industry as the most reliable residential valves on the market. The HV valve follows in that grand tradition. They are tested to tough standards to ensure high performance for many years to come, making it a great residential valve choice.Rain Bird® HV valves install quickly, service easily, and deliver reliable performance you can count on – all at an affordable price. A more compact design makes it easier to install and allows you to put more valves in a single valve box. Heavy-duty construction and fewer screws simplify maintenance. Its reverse-flow design is engineered to stand up to the diverse and challenging needs of any landscape. Like all Rain Bird valves, HV Valves are built to work with any standard sprinkler timer.

  Reliability:

  • Eccentric diaphragm for smooth closing, less water hammer
  • Glass-filled polypropylene body for strength
  • Reverse flow normally closed design
  • Single-filtered pilot flow for maximum reliability
  • Trouble-free service with few parts
  • Buna-N diaphragm with self-cleaning 90-mesh (200 micron) pilot water filter and stainless steel spring

  Versatility 

  • Compact design, 2.54” spin radius for tight installations
  • Operates in low-flow and Landscape Drip applications when a 200 mesh filter is installed upstream
  • Available in multiple fitting types
  • External bleed to manually flush system of dirt and debris during installation and system startup
  • Internal bleed for spray-free manual operation
  • Unique, easy-to-turn, pressure-assisted flow control mechanism option available (HVF models only)

  Ease of Service

  • Captive multi-drive screws for ease of access
  • Your choice of tools to open valve (nut driver, Phillips head screwdriver, slotted head screwdriver)
  • Four screws for quick access to diaphragm
  • Diaphragm locating post for positive installation

  Recommendations

  1. Rain Bird recommends flow rates that result in discharge velocities 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. Rain Bird residential valves cannot be used with PRS pressure regulating modules.
  3. Not recommended for use with two-wire systems.
