Rain Bird PGA 40mm Solenoid Valve
Built for high-end residential and light commercial applications, Rain Bird PGA 40mm series valves are the toughest, most reliable valves in their class. These long-lasting, easy-to-service valves are proven to perform at the highest level, even under harsh temperatures and intense pressure. For maximum peace of mind, PGA series valves also offer a best-in-class, three-year trade warranty. Because you care about your reputation—and so do we.
Extreme Durability
The PGA valve maintains a strong, worry-free seal between the body and bonnet, no matter the conditions. In Thermal Cycle Testing, hundreds of PGA valves were exposed to extreme temperature swings and intense pressures. The result—zero leaks.*
Rain Bird PGA Pressure-Resistant Seal
The PGA valve’s body-to-bonnet seal is built to overcome the intense water pressure common on many commercial sites. Faced with repeated pressure surges well into the triple digits, our valves outlasted the nearest competitor more than 2½ times to 1 in Cycle Surge Testing.*
Easy Maintenance
Multi-drive screws make servicing the PGA valve simple. With the option of flathead, Phillips or hexagonal, you have the freedom and convenience you need to get things done faster. *Currently available on 2” PGA models only.
Quiet Performance
With a robust electrical design, the PGA valve greatly reduces noise and delivers years of reliable performance. So not only will you have peace of mind, you’ll have peace and quiet.
Rain Bird PGA Features
- Water-tight seal between the body and bonnet for maximum confidence, even in the most extreme conditions
- Robust construction and electrical design for quiet performance you can count on
- Filtered pilot flow to resist debris and clogging
- Slow closing to prevent water hammer and subsequent system damage
- Normally closed, forward flow design Accepts latching solenoid for use with Rain Bird battery-operated controllers
