Brand: K-Rain SKU: 7001-SL
Product Overview
The K-Rain 7001-SL is a 1-inch female slip ProSeries 100 electric irrigation valve with an adjustable flow-control stem. It uses K-Rain's tilted diaphragm/piston design to create a straighter water path, reducing friction loss and helping debris move through the valve rather than becoming trapped in a conventional globe chamber.
The heavy-duty PVC body resists corrosion and UV exposure. A self-cleaning metering screen is positioned in turbulent flow, while the removable external bleed screw and metering pin simplify manual operation and service. The captured-plunger 24 VAC solenoid can be removed without losing the internal plunger. A removable flow-control handle lets the installer regulate zone flow or manually shut down the valve, then remove the handle to discourage tampering.
This model uses solvent-weld slip connections and must be installed with compatible 1-inch PVC pipe, primer, cement, curing procedures, and local installation practices. K-Rain publishes a 20–150 PSI operating range and performance data through 30 GPM for the 1-inch ProSeries 100 family. Confirm pipe material, water source, pressure, design flow, controller capacity, valve-box clearance, and required backflow protection before installation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is 7001-SL threaded?
No. The SL designation identifies 1-inch female slip connections for solvent-weld PVC.
Does it include flow control?
Yes. This model includes an adjustable flow-control stem with a removable handle.
Can the valve be opened manually?
Yes. It supports external bleed and internal manual operation through the solenoid.
Why Buy This K-Rain 7001-SL from Big Frog Supply?
Big Frog Supply clearly separates the slip, flow-control 7001-SL from the NPT and NFC versions, helping customers match both the piping method and hydraulic control required by the zone.
