Introducing the Rain Bird® HV Valve

Why HV?

DV/DVF - ASVF – The industry leaders for over 20

years

Reliable, Durable

Premium

Versatile

HV/HVF – High Performance, Big Savings

Low Price

Reliable, Durable

Easy Maintenance

Compact Design

Rain Bird HV Valve

High Performance

– 1” Residential Valve

– Multiple configurations with or without Flow Control

– 24 volt and (coming in 2014) 9 volt solenoid options

– 15 – 150 PSI pressure rating

– 0.2 – 30 GPM flow range (DV = 0.2 – 40.0 GPM)

– Pressure loss similar to other valves (sometimes better –

sometimes a little worse)

– Reverse flow, normally closed design – Fails in a

closed position

Rain Bird HV Valve

Big Savings

– Convenient service with 4 multi drive bonnet

screws – Use the tool that’s handy

– Captive bonnet screws & diaphragm spring –

Won’t get lost in the muck or tall grass

– Double bonnet screw thread design – twist out

with half the turns saving time

– Eccentric diaphragm – Smoother closing /

Less water hammer / Grit resistance

– Glass filled polypropylene body – High

strength at lower cost

– Compact 2.5” spin radius design – allows

more valves in a valve box

– Compact solenoid – Turns by hand with no

handle – Efficient low cost design

Rain Bird HV Valve

High Performance, High Value, Low Price

– HV is at least 20% lower than Hunter PGV and Irritrol 2500 at

contractor price

GB v. EFB-CP – Features Comparison

EFB-CP – Better Performance in Dirty Water

• The EFB-CP Series features a filter

location that stops grit and debris before it

can enter the system.

• Water flow continuously flushes the

screen, dislodging particles and debris

before they can accumulate and clog the

filter.

• Filtered water then enters the

contamination-proof bypass tube to

provide reliable operation year-after-year,

even in the dirtiest conditions.
