Brand: K-Rain SKU: 7101-J
Product Overview
The K-Rain 7101-J is a 1-inch female NPT jar-top ProSeries 150 electric irrigation valve. Its threaded glass-filled nylon jar-top cap provides top access to the diaphragm without removing perimeter screws, making it useful where repeated inspection or service access is important.
The valve operates from a compatible 24 VAC controller and includes internal manual bleed through the solenoid. K-Rain publishes a 10–150 PSI pressure range and a 0.5–30 GPM flow range for the 1-inch ProSeries 150 models. The heavy-duty, corrosion- and UV-resistant body supports residential and light-commercial irrigation, while the captured-plunger solenoid can be removed without losing the internal plunger.
The 7101-J is a jar-top NPT model and should not be confused with the standard-bonnet 7101-SL slip valve or larger 7115/7102 globe-to-angle convertible valves. This jar-top configuration does not use the removable external bleed screw and metering pin found on the standard-bonnet models. Confirm piping threads, pressure, design flow, controller output, water quality, valve-box access, and required backflow protection before installation.
