Netafim Series 80 Solenoid Valve for 3/4 in Zone Control
The Netafim Series 80 solenoid valve opens and closes a 3/4 in irrigation zone on a 24VAC signal. A controller or timer runs your watering cycles hands-free. The glass-reinforced nylon body handles 7-150 psi and passes 0.1-26 GPM. That range covers a few drip stakes up to a full bench of emitters. A built-in flow-control stem lets you throttle or shut the zone by hand.
Wiring a 24VAC Irrigation Control Valve into Your System
Wired one valve per zone, this 24VAC irrigation control valve ties straight into Netafim, Galcon, or most standard timers on the 24-volt terminal. The 3/4 in FPT inlet and outlet thread onto standard mainline fittings, so it drops into an existing manifold without adapters. As a normally closed valve, the zone stays off until the controller energizes the solenoid. Growers usually mount it upright in a valve box or on a bench manifold, with the flow arrow pointing downstream.
Key Features
- 24VAC solenoid: Pairs with standard irrigation controllers and timers for hands-free zone control.
- 0.1-26 GPM flow range: Handles low-flow drip lines up to higher-volume sprinkler zones.
- 7-150 psi operating range: Wide pressure window for well, pump, or municipal supply.
- Glass-reinforced nylon body: Corrosion-free and holds up to fertigation solutions over long runs.
- Flow-control stem: Throttle or manually shut the zone without cutting power to the solenoid.
