Brand: K-Rain SKU: 7101-SL
Product Overview
The K-Rain 7101-SL is a standard-bonnet 1-inch female slip ProSeries 150 electric irrigation valve for compatible PVC manifolds. It combines solvent-weld connections with a removable external bleed screw and metering pin, giving installers a way to manually open the valve and clean the metering passage without disassembling the complete body.
The standard captured-plunger solenoid operates from a compatible 24 VAC controller and also supports internal manual bleed without discharging water outside the valve. K-Rain publishes a 10–150 PSI pressure range and 0.5–30 GPM flow range for the 1-inch ProSeries 150 models. The corrosion- and UV-resistant body is designed for residential and light-commercial irrigation installations.
This exact 7101-SL is a slip model with a standard bonnet. It is not the 7101-J jar-top, and it does not have the 1½- or 2-inch removable inlet cap used for globe-to-angle conversion. Confirm compatible PVC pipe, primer and cement, design flow, operating pressure, controller capacity, valve-box space, water quality, and required backflow protection before installation.
