Control valve 80

irrigationnylonreinforced

Overview Netafim 80 Series reinforced nylon control valves provide rapid and precise hydraulic regulation for irrigation systems. Designed with a rigid plug mechanism and a fully supported diaphragm, the valves protect networks from pressure fluctuations and water hammer while delivering stable control in demanding agricultural environments.

Benefits for growers

• Tight shut-off and fast response — rigid plug mechanism ensures secure closing and rapid opening for high-pressure applications.
• Reliable diaphragm control — fully supported diaphragm delivers consistent, precise modulation critical for irrigation cycles and anti-water-hammer protection.
• Field-proven design — composite construction resists corrosion and reduces maintenance in open fields, greenhouses and hydroponic facilities.

Applications The 80 Series is suitable for open-field irrigation, greenhouses, hydroponics and misting systems with a maximum operating pressure of 10 bar. Use when fast response to pressure changes and robust protection of downstream equipment are required.

Key features

• Optimal protection — rigid plug mechanism for tight closing and quick opening to mitigate pressure surges.
• Installation flexibility — available in globe (through-line) and angle configurations to minimize piping and eliminate some elbow fittings.
• Extensive control options — wide range of control functions, multiple end-connection types and choice of 2-way and 3-way bonnets with integral accessories.

Technical specifications

• Maximum pressure – 10 bar (145 psi)
• Minimum recommended flow – 1 m3/h (5 gpm)
• Minimum operating pressure – 0.7 bar (10 psi)
