Included with the Adjustable Drip, Adjustable Spray and Under Tree Sprinkler Irrigation Kit, the Pressure Regulator is essential for the function of your irrigation lines.
Due to the smaller nature of the 4mm Micro Tubing, these lines are susceptible to bursting or splitting if placed under too much pressure. The Pressure Regulator solves this issue by controlling and limiting the amount of pressure running through the irrigation system.
The Pressure Regulator should be installed directly at the water source and downstream from all shut-off valves. As such, if you are using a timer, the Pressure Regulator will need to be installed below the timer.
The Pressure Regulator will limit the water pressure to 175kPa (25psi) with an operating flow from 0.4 - 30 liters per minute. If the tap or water source exceeds this flow rate in either direction the effectiveness of the regulator may change.
Available for purchase as a spare part.
Please note a 13mm Nut & Tail and 13mm Ratchet Clamp will be necessary to attach irrigation tubing to the Pressure Regulator. A 1" tap adapter may also be necessary if you have a larger thread tap.
