Regulators

VAL-CO Regulators are an extremely important part of your watering system as they allow you to control the amount of pressure in your water line. Whether the pressure is too high or too low, VAL-CO Regulators can regulate and stabilize the pressure making sure the proper amount of water is in the pipe at any given time.

Standpipes & Standpipe Kits

The standpipe is also an important part of your watering system as it helps you determine the amount of pressure in your water lines.

Rigid (left) & Flex (right) Standpipes

If you need to figure out how much pressure you have in your water lines, either of these standpipes will do. The Rigid Standpipe has a wider opening allowing for simple maintenance and it also has a larger blue ball that makes it easier to see from a distance. The Flex Standpipe, on the other hand, allows for more flexibility, both figuratively and literally. You can bend it down, if needed, and you won't have breakage from large birds hitting it.


Rigid Kit

This kit attaches the standpipe to the regulator - whether it be mid-line or end assembly. The valve allows you to turn the standpipe off when you need to flush your water lines.


Flex Kit

Same as the Rigid Kit (see above), except this kit attaches a Flex Standpipe to a regulator.

Folding Standpipe

Raising your water lines without damaging your standpipes has never been easier with VAL-CO’s Folding Standpipe. It can be used with either the rigid or the flexible standpipes, and allows them to lay parallel to the water pipe. If you have low ceiling height, you need our Folding Standpipe.


Intakes & More

Below are some other important components of the regulators that help build your complete watering system.

E-Z Flush Intake

Now, flushing your water lines is even easier and cleaner. With 3/4” hose and openings, the VAL-CO EZ-Flush Intake will flush any debris out of the pipe. Just twist the handle to REG, FLUSH or OFF. No additional installation required, just screw into the regulator. In the REG position, the water will be regulated normally with changes made by the knob underneath. In the FLUSH position, water bypasses the seal and flushes into the water lines. In the OFF position, all water flow stops. The VAL-CO EZ-Flush Intake works with all of our standard diaphragm regulators. An optional solenoid makes flushing the lines automatic. Hook it up to your controller or a thermostat to flush on time or temperature.


High & Low Pressure Intakes


Gauge

Mainly used on the VR205, this oil filled gauge reads the pressure going in and/or going out.
