Overview The BERMAD IR-120-Zb is a hydraulically operated, diaphragm-actuated pressure reducing valve designed to convert higher upstream pressure into a very low, stable preset downstream pressure. It maintains consistent downstream pressure regardless of demand fluctuations or upstream pressure variation and is optimized for drip-tape irrigation and in-field control heads.
Features and Benefits- Line-pressure driven, hydraulically controlled
- Protects downstream irrigation components and emitters
- Pressure-reducing servo pilot
- Dynamic integrated needle valve for precise modulation
- Settable as low as 0.5 bar (7 psi)
- Very low hysteresis for stable regulation
- Engineered composite valve with industrial design
- Durable, chemical- and cavitation-resistant construction
- No internal bolts or nuts reduces risk of corrosion and failure
- hYflow 'Y' valve body with "Look Through" design
- Ultra-high flow capacity with low pressure loss—suitable for long drip lines
- Unitized Flexible Super Travel (FST) diaphragm and guided plug
- Accurate, stable regulation with smooth closing
- Requires low opening and actuation pressure; prevents diaphragm erosion
- Simple in-line inspection and service
Typical Applications- Drip-tape (drip-line) irrigation systems
- Low set-pressure irrigation zones
- Low supplied-pressure distribution networks
- Energy-saving irrigation schemes
