Brand: K-Rain SKU: 7001-NFC
Product Overview
The K-Rain 7001-NFC is a 1-inch female NPT ProSeries 100 electric irrigation valve supplied without a flow-control stem. Its tilted diaphragm and piston assembly creates a straighter water path than a conventional globe-style valve, helping reduce friction loss while allowing debris to pass through the body rather than collecting in a low-flow chamber.
The corrosion- and UV-resistant PVC body is designed for residential and light-commercial irrigation using compatible potable or non-potable water sources. A self-cleaning metering screen sits in the turbulent water path, and the removable external bleed screw includes a serviceable metering pin. Manual internal bleed through the solenoid permits operation without releasing water outside the valve. The standard captured-plunger solenoid operates from a compatible 24 VAC controller.
This NFC model does not include adjustable flow control. It is appropriate when the system design already provides the required zone flow and shutoff characteristics. K-Rain publishes a 20–150 PSI operating range for the ProSeries 100 family and performance data through 30 GPM for the 1-inch models. Confirm available pressure, design flow, pipe size, water quality, controller output, and local backflow requirements before installation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does NFC mean?
NFC means no flow control. The valve opens and closes electrically or manually but does not provide a separate adjustable flow-control stem.
Can it handle dirty water?
The ProSeries 100 design is debris tolerant and uses a self-cleaning metering screen, but the system should still be flushed and appropriately filtered for the water source.
Is the solenoid included?
Yes. The standard valve includes a compatible 24 VAC solenoid.
Why Buy This K-Rain 7001-NFC from Big Frog Supply?
Big Frog Supply identifies the exact NPT connection and no-flow-control configuration so this valve is not confused with the slip or adjustable-flow versions that share the same ProSeries 100 body style.
