The RN 160 solenoid valve is the ideal solution for irrigating large commercial facilities and public parks. Capable of handling flow rates from 70 l/min to 300 l/min, this model is available with 1", 1" ¼, 1" ½ and 2" female threads, and with voltages from 24 Vac and 9 Vdc. Certified as PN12, all its components are tested up to 14 bar before leaving the factory.

9 Vdc Solenoid

9 Vdc Solenoid

Battery-operated controllers control 9Vdc latching solenoids. The control unit will send an electrical signal at the start of irrigation to open the solenoid valve and a signal at the end of irrigation to close the solenoid valve.

24 Vac Solenoid

24 Vac Solenoid

The controllers control 24 Vac normally closed solenoids. The control unit will supply the solenoid with a 24 Vac electrical signal for the entire irrigation time to open the electrovalve.

Manifold system

Manifold system

The patented Rain Manifold System allows easy installation of solenoid valves and during valve box maintenance allows quick removal of the solenoid valve.

FAQ's

What does a solenoid valve do in an irrigation system?

A solenoid valve acts like a switch for water flow in irrigation. When activated by an irrigation controller, it opens an internal passage, allowing water to flow to a specific zone (sprinklers, drip system) and closes when shut off by the controller, stopping water flow.

What is a solenoid valve diaphragm used for?

In a solenoid valve, the diaphragm is a crucial component that acts as a barrier between the control mechanism (electrical coil) and the fluid being controlled (water, air, etc.). It has two main functions:

Sealing: The diaphragm separates the pressurised fluid from the electrical components of the valve. This prevents water damage to the coil and ensures a safe electrical operation.

Controlling Flow: The diaphragm moves based on the energising or de-energising of the solenoid coil. When energised, the coil creates a magnetic field that pulls the diaphragm open, allowing fluid to flow through the valve. Conversely, when de-energised, the magnetic field collapses, and a spring or fluid pressure pushes the diaphragm back to its closed position, stopping the flow.
