Toro Ag Nickel Coated Brass Ball Valve with Stainless Steel Handle, PN16 Rated

A ball valve is a flow control device which uses a hollow, perforated and pivoting ball to control liquid flowing through it. It is open when the ball's hole is in line with the flow inlet and closed when it is pivoted 90-degrees by the valve handle, blocking the flow.

  • Pressure Rating 1035kPa
  • Constructed from Nickel Plated Brass Body Stainless Steel handle and nut
  • Female BSP Thread
  • PTFE tape required to seal: All Brass Fittings should be sealed with PTFE tape unless a rubber seal or gasket is in place.  (Click here to view PTFE Tape)

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.
