Rain Bird FG100 1-INCH Flow Sensor
Take full control of your water usage and protect your landscape with the Rain Bird FG100 1-INCH WIRED PLASTIC FLOW SENSOR. This durable, high-performance sensor is designed to provide precise and accurate flow monitoring, instantly identifying leaks or line breaks to prevent water waste and costly property damage.
The Rain Bird FG100 is built for residential and light commercial applications, featuring a rugged, glass-filled nylon body that can be installed outdoors or underground. Its smart design requires no straight pipe for installation, offering maximum flexibility. This model includes 1-inch NPT threaded unions for fast installation and easy maintenance.
When paired with a compatible controller, like the Rain Bird ESP-ME3, the FG100 unlocks powerful smart irrigation features. The Flo-Watch technology learns your system's normal flow and automatically shuts down a zone and sends an alert if it detects a low or high-flow condition (like a broken head or a stuck valve). Best of all, it's winter-ready to withstand blowouts and connects using standard 18-gauge irrigation wire, making it an affordable and essential upgrade for any smart irrigation system.
