Brand: K-Rain SKU: 7001-SL-NFC
Product Overview
The K-Rain 7001-SL-NFC is a 1-inch female slip ProSeries 100 electric irrigation valve supplied without a flow-control stem. It combines solvent-weld PVC connections with K-Rain's tilted diaphragm/piston design, creating a straighter water path that reduces friction and helps debris pass through the valve.
The UV- and corrosion-resistant PVC body is designed for compatible residential and light-commercial irrigation systems. A self-cleaning metering screen sits in turbulent flow, and the removable external bleed screw includes a serviceable metering pin. The captured-plunger 24 VAC solenoid supports internal manual operation without discharging water outside the valve.
Because this is an NFC model, it does not provide adjustable zone-flow control or a valve-mounted manual shutoff stem. It should be selected only when the hydraulic design provides the required flow elsewhere. K-Rain publishes a 20–150 PSI pressure range and performance data through 30 GPM for the 1-inch ProSeries 100 family. Confirm PVC compatibility, water quality, design flow, operating pressure, controller output, and required backflow protection before installation.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from 7001-SL?
Both use 1-inch slip connections, but the 7001-SL-NFC does not include the adjustable flow-control stem.
Can it be manually opened?
Yes. The valve can be operated manually through the external bleed screw or internal solenoid bleed.
Does it include a solenoid?
Yes. It includes the standard captured-plunger 24 VAC solenoid.
Why Buy This K-Rain 7001-SL-NFC from Big Frog Supply?
Big Frog Supply identifies both defining details—slip connections and no flow control—so this valve is not confused with the NPT 7001-NFC or flow-control 7001-SL.
