Residential Anti-Siphon Sprinkler Valve with Flow Control

The Rain Bird 100 ASVF Irrigation Valve Series is a combination of an electric remote control valve and an atmospheric backflow preventer in a single unit. This valve meets the listing specifications of I.A.P.M.O. (International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials) and A.S.S.E. (American Society of Sanitary Engineering).

The 100 ASVF Series features an easy-to-turn, pressure-assisted flow control mechanism and a Buna-N diaphragm with a water filter and captive spring. It also incorporates an energy-efficient, low-power encapsulated solenoid with a captured plunger. For manual operation, the valve has an external bleed to flush the system of dirt and debris during installation and start-up, as well as a spray-free internal bleed.

Constructed with heavy-duty materials, including stainless steel screws, the 100 ASVF Series combines all the features of the DV and DVF Series valves. It is designed for use in cold water applications with temperatures up to 110°F (43°C) and has an operating pressure range of 15 to 150 psi (1.03 to 10.34 bar) and a flow range of 0.2 to 40 gpm (0.05 to 9.09 m³/h; 0.76 to 151.42 l/m).

The 100 ASVF valve is powered by a 24VAC 50/60 Hz solenoid with an inrush current of 0.30 A (7.2 VA) and a holding current of 0.19 A (4.0 VA). This combination of reliable DVF valve and atmospheric backflow preventer in a single unit makes the 100 ASVF an ideal choice for applications where a pressure vacuum breaker (PVB) or double-check valve is not required by local codes.

It's important to check with your local city codes to determine the specific valve requirements. AntiSiphon valves, like the 100 ASVF, should be installed at least 6 inches above the highest sprinkler head on the valve line and should never have another valve installed downstream from the main valve. This ensures proper installation and prevents potential backflow issues.

In summary, the Rain Bird 100 ASVF Irrigation Valve Series offers a versatile and reliable solution, combining an electric remote control valve and an atmospheric backflow preventer in a single, compact unit. Its robust construction, efficient design, and compliance with industry standards make it a suitable choice for a wide range of irrigation and water management applications.
