Description:

These are Weathermatic's brass valves.

Features:

• 10 year warranty
• 200 PSI rating
• Flexing, dual ported diaphragm (no need for filter and screens)
• Reverse flow design (makes diaphragm hold up better)
• Normally closed
• Works at very low flows, good for drip systems
• Contamination resistant
• Non-corrosive exhaust orifice
• S24B solenoid with special corrosion protection coating on actuator
• Bronze body and cover with stainless steel cover bolts
• Shock cone (reduces water hammer)
• Brass flow control on 1" through 2" models, stainless steel on larger valves.
• Easy to use manual bleed lever, internal bleed (Used to manually open the valve without electricity. Internal bleed means it doesn't spit out water when used.)

Options:

• XPR pressure regulator - do not use for flows under 10 GPM.
• Non-potable alert solenoid and warning tag
• Chloramine resistant Albino Rhino Diaphragm.

Review:

This is essentially a brass version of the Weathermatic 11000CR series valves. The difference is that this valve has a brass body. See the review for the 11000CR series.
