Sprinkler System Valve Pressure Regulator

To regulate the pressure of the drip zone on your sprinkler system, you can install a pressure regulator like this one.

This pressure regulator is deigned for an irrigation system and will regulate the pressure at 40 psi, which is a good pressure to be at for a drip zone. Drip line is rated to operate at a lower psi. If your pressure is too high, it will blow the fittings apart creating leaks in the drip line. This being the case, it is always a good idea to regulate the pressure on the drip zones on your sprinkler system.

Great Knowledge! I’m one season into my tech career and your videos have been very helpful. Thanks so much!

[littlemissblueyes]

Just what I needed to know! installing new drip zones - off to dig in the dirt.

[leehooligan]

Great content! I have a full 3/4" system for lawn and drip. Do you recommend a pressure regulator for the lawn zones? If so, what pressure would you recommend? Thanks!

I am a little confused about whether I need a pressure regulator for my sprinkler to drip irrigation conversion. I am using the Irritrol 2700DPR valve, which has a screw which allows one to control the water pressure in the system. Is adjusting the valve, to lower the water pressure, suffice to stabilize the new drip system on should I still install a pressure regulator at the end of the riser? I can not find any documentation that address that question. Or should it be assumed that a pressure regulator should ALWAYS be installed when using a drip system? Thanks for your assistance.

Great video, I am a Novice when it comes to sprinklers, I was wondering if it is normal for pressure regulator to drip ever so often, or did I, not going to lie I did use a wrench, over tighten and likely cracked a little bit 😬

[MichaelWongW]

Thanks for the great info! You mentioned it's possible to do pressure regulation from the "stub" / PVC fitting. Do you have a recommendation on which should be used? Thank you!

[enoh]

do these block? If so, is there an easy way to clean them?

[impetiousdoom]

Pressure regulator before or after an anti siphon valve?

[kbob]

Great info. Question - trying to help a neighbor. His poly tube sprung a leak, tube spilt. I put a coupler. It caused another and another and 6 couplers later I thought maybe it's a pressure thing? He did mention he had 4 sprinklers but removed them when he got artificial grass. Now it's simply a giant drip system from the vales out the various trees and shrubs. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Can you install this on an entire system like after the shut off ball valve? Or does it have to be put on a valve?

[michaelmcinteer]

Why not put the pressure regulator on the supply side before the anti-siphon valves? That way you only have to use one instead of several. Just asking.

[jonathanholmstock]

Enjoyed your video - is there a reason you can't put the pressure regulator before the manifold if the pressure is too high and you want to reduce it for all lines?

[jbright]

Why not put it on the inlet side of the valve? To reduce wear on valve

[dougk]

Do you have a recommendation for a regulator 'limit' valve. I need to drop the pressure before the valve. Our city water pressure is 100 psi. In no time the control valves leak everywhere and no amount of tightening the screws helps.

[keithjones]

Are there pressure relief devices that install on the supply side of the valve? We are having issues blowing holes in 2" pvc before the valves on a large community system.

[DesignBuildFixReview]

My sprinkler heads keep blowing their heads off, way too much pressure. I have access to the supply for the zones its above ground with a ball valve and plenty of room to add a pressure relief, I think the pipe is 1 inch pvc. What would be a good PSI for a sprinkler system to run on? Also do you have links to PRVs?

[ReefMimic]

Do my sprinklers need a pre filter? I got filters for my drip but not on sprinklers

What’s the ideal psi for sprinkler?
Ideal psi for drip? I think my emitters are rated for 30psi and my regulator is 30psi

[mariastenner]

my regulator started making a high pitch noise whenever the water is on. What is happening and do I need to get a new regulator? Thank you.

[berthagarza]

I had a guy install pvc pipes and sprinkler heads but the heads are not picking up need help

[sarahwilson]

Do you need a pressure regulator on zones that are using bubblers to water trees?
