Netafim Series 80 1 in Valve for High-Flow Zone Control
When a zone feeds a whole block of drippers or sprinklers, the valve at its head has to move real volume without flinching. The Netafim Series 80 1 in valve is built for exactly that duty. A 24VAC signal from any standard controller swings it open and shut, so watering runs on a clock, not a hand on a ball valve. The glass-reinforced nylon body shrugs off 7 to 150 psi and passes 0.1 to 44 GPM. That span runs off a well, a pump, or municipal line. That headroom lets one valve carry a far bigger bench than the 3/4 in body ever could. For a grower zoning a greenhouse, it is the line between clean automatic cycles and one more manual chore every morning.
Wiring a 1 in 24VAC Control Valve into a Larger Zone
The 1 in port flows more than the 3/4 in body, so growers reach for it on wider benches and longer rows. It wires to a 24VAC controller at one valve per zone, landing on the 24-volt terminal like any solenoid in the rack. The 1 in FPT inlet and outlet thread straight onto standard mainline fittings, so it joins an existing manifold without adapters. A flow-control stem lets a grower throttle the zone or close it by hand for service, no power needed. Corrosion-free nylon holds up to the fertigation salts that would pit a metal body within a season.
Key Features
- 24VAC solenoid: Pairs with standard irrigation controllers and timers for hands-free zone control.
- 0.1-44 GPM flow range: Feeds larger drip and sprinkler zones than the 3/4 in body.
- 7-150 psi operating range: Wide window for well, pump, or municipal supply.
- Glass-reinforced nylon body: Corrosion-free and holds up to fertigation solutions.
- Flow-control stem: Throttle or manually shut the zone without cutting power.
