Recommendations
- Rain Bird recommends flow rates in the supply line not to exceed 7.5 ft/sec (2.29 m/s) in order to reduce the effects of water hammer.
- For flows below 5 gpm (1.14 m³/h; 19.2 l/m), Rain Bird recommends use of upstream filtration to prevent debris from collection below the diaphragm.
- For flows below 10 gpm (2.27 m³/h; 37.8 l/m), Rain Bird recommends the flow control stem be turned down two full turns from the fully open position.
