Assembly
5. Unscrew the cap of the
Pressure-Regulating Filter
and remove the filter element.
6. Replace cap without filter element.
7. Activate flow through the valve the valve
either manually or using the controller. To
Manually activate, turn the solenoid handle
counter-clockwise ½ to ¾ turns.
8. Run water several minutes to flush the system.
9. Replace the filter element.
10. Prepare poly tubing 16mm to 18mm OD by cutting
the tubing at least 1½” away from any emitter.
11. Check to see that the cut is clean and the tubing is not
deformed (out of round).
12. Insert the tubing end into the Multi-Diameter Fitting, centering
the tube on the white insert of the fitting. The tube should slide
freely into the fitting for approximately ½” before meeting resistance.
13. After initial resistance, continue to insert the tube an additional ¾” until the tube
reaches a full stop.
Note: Multi-diameter fittings cannot be reused.
Operation / Maintenance
1. Periodically remove the filter element.
2. If dirty, rinse the filter element in water before reinstalling.
Winterization
In a freezing climate, water should be removed from the irrigation system before
freezing occurs. For more information, please refer to Rain Bird’s Winterization Guide,

1. Apply Teflon™ tape (1 ½ to 2 turns) to all male pipe threads.
Do not
use pipe thread or pipe dope compound.
2. Hand tighten components in the above configuration, no more than 2 turns past
finger tight. Make sure the flow arrow on the filter in in the correct orientation.
a. Low Flow Valve - 1” female NPT to 1” female NPT
b. Reducer bushing - 1” male NPT to 3/4” female NPT
c. Pressure-Regulating Filter (PRF) - 3/4” male NPT x 3/4” male NPT
d. Multi-diameter Fitting (MDF) - 3/4” female NPT to poly tubing
Installation
1. Install the Low Flow Valve on the water supply line.
2. Orient the Pressure-Regulating Filter down to prevent debris entering the line
when the filter is removed for cleaning.
3. Do not install tubing or other downstream elements yet.
4. Connect one solenoid wire to the controller common and the other wire to the
controller power. User only water-tight connectors, such as Rain Bird ST-03.
