PGAIVM Series Valves
Versatility at an affordable price.
Whether the job calls for a globe or angle valve, PGAIVM Series valves are the right choice. Loaded with features, these heavyduty PVC valves are economical, easy to install and built to withstand constant 150 psi (10.35 bar) pressure and 2 to 150 gpm (0.45 to 34.05 m3/h; 7.8 to 568 l/m) flows.
The PGAIVM Series from Rain Bird – built to last… and last!

Note: Valve and PRS-Dial module must be ordered separately. For non-U.S. applications, it is necessary to specify NPT or BSP thread type.
Specifications
The electric remote control valve shall be a normally closed 26.5 Vrms 50/60 Hz (cycles/ sec) solenoid actuated globe/angle pattern design. The valve pressure rating shall not be less than 150 psi (10.35 bar). The valve shall have the following characteristics (circle one):
Flow rate: ________ gpm m3/h l/m Pressure loss not to exceed: _______ psi bar
The valve body and bonnet shall be constructed of high-impact, water-resistant PVC for the body and glass-filled nylon for the bonnet with stainless steel screws.
The valve shall have manual open/close control (internal bleed) for manual opening and closing of valve without electrically energizing the solenoid. The valve’s internal bleed shall prevent flooding of the valve box.
The valve shall house a fully-encapsulated, one-piece solenoid. The solenoid shall have a captured plunger with a removable retainer for easy servicing, and a leverage handle for easy turning. This 26.5 Vrms 50/60 Hz latching solenoid shall open between 15.6 and 29.2 Vrms with an inrush current less than 40mA.
The valve shall have a flow control stem for accurate manual regulation and/or shut off of outlet flow. The valve must open or close in less than 1 minute at 150 psi (10.35 bar), and less than 30 seconds at 20 psi (1.38 bar).
The valve construction shall provide for all internal parts to be removable from the top of the valve without disturbing the valve installation. The body shall have a removable O-ringed plug for installation in either globe or angle configuration.
Optional Feature Specification
PRS-D Pressure Regulating Module IVM100PGA-PRS-D, IVM150PGA-PRS-D, IVM200PGA-PRS-D
When so indicated on the design, the electric remote control valve shall have a pressure regulating module (PRS-D) capable of regulating outlet pressure between 15 and 100 psi (±3 psi) (1.04 and 6.90 bar (±0.21 bar)).
The PRS-D module shall have an adjusting knob for setting pressure and Schrader valve connection for monitoring pressure. The pressure shall be adjustable from the PRS-D when the valve is internally manually bled or electrically activated.
