OverviewThe BERMAD Top Pilot Pressure Reducing Control Valve with 2-way solenoid control (model IR-22T-55-2W) provides compact, high-performance pressure reduction for irrigation systems. It reduces higher upstream pressure to a calibrated constant downstream pressure regardless of flow fluctuations and opens when line pressure drops below the setting. The valve is line-pressure driven and hydraulically controlled; it opens and closes in response to an electric signal when solenoid control is used.
Key Features & Benefits- Line pressure driven, hydraulically controlled On/Off
