Rain Bird DV Inline Irrigation Valve 1 in. FPT — 24VAC Solenoid, Low-Flow Friendly

Rain Bird 100-DV-NPT DV Inline Valve is a 1" FPT economical irrigation valve built for reliable residential and light commercial water control.

This inline diaphragm valve combines a double-filtered pilot flow, balanced-pressure diaphragm, and an energy-efficient encapsulated solenoid to deliver dependable operation across a wide pressure and flow range. Designed for easy installation with slip-by-slip or male-by-barb connections, the valve accepts a latching solenoid for battery-operated controllers and includes features to simplify startup and maintenance.

How does this valve handle debris and reduce maintenance?

The DV Inline Valve uses multiple integrated filters and bleed options to limit clogging and simplify flushing during installation. These elements protect the pilot and solenoid while allowing manual flushing without disassembly.

• Double-filtered pilot flow and 90-mesh (200 micron) pilot filter for self-cleaning action
• 90-mesh solenoid filter protects the captured plunger
• External bleed port for flushing dirt during startup
• Internal bleed for manual, spray-free operation

What electrical and power characteristics should I expect?

The valve ships with a 24 VAC solenoid compatible with standard irrigation controllers and supports low-power, energy-efficient operation. It also accepts a latching solenoid for battery-powered control systems.

• 24 VAC, 50/60 Hz solenoid specification
• Inrush: 0.30 A (7.2 VA); Holding: 0.19 A (4.6 VA)
• Coil resistance approximately 4255 ohms
• Compatible with Rain Bird latching solenoids for battery controllers

What flow, pressure, and temperature ranges does it support?

The DV Inline Valve covers a broad operating envelope suitable for many residential and light-commercial systems, including low-flow and xerigation setups when used with upstream RBY filtration. It performs reliably across typical irrigation pressures and water temperatures.

• Pressure range: 15 to 150 psi (1.03 to 10.34 bar)
• Flow range: 0.2 to 40 gpm (0.05 to 9.08 m3/h)
• Water temperature up to 110°F (43°C); ambient up to 125°F (52°C)
• Operates in low-flow / xerigation when RBY filter is installed upstream

How easy is it to install and what are the connection options?

The 1" FPT valve is offered in slip-by-slip and male-by-barb configurations, giving installers flexibility for poly pipe or deeper submain runs. Stainless steel phillips-head screws and a compact footprint make placement and service straightforward.

• Slip-by-slip option for adhesion-type poly pipe installations
• Male-by-barb for flexible hose connections and deep submain installations
• 1.25" stainless steel Phillips head screws for secure assembly
• Compact dimensions for tight valve-box or manifold applications

Who is this for: Landscapers, irrigation contractors, and homeowners who need a budget-friendly, dependable inline control valve for residential or light-commercial systems will find the Rain Bird DV Inline Valve well suited. It is particularly useful where low-flow operation, simple flushing during commissioning, and compatibility with battery-operated controllers are required. If you need a compact 1" valve with robust filtration and flexible connection options, the 100-DV-NPT is designed to meet those needs.
