Rain Bird PGA100/PGA150/PGA200 Globe/Angle Irrigation Valves

Rain Bird PGA100/PGA150/PGA200 Globe/Angle Irrigation Valves

Brand: Rain Bird | SKUs: 100PGA, 150PGA, 200PGA

Product Overview

Choose a Rain Bird PGA valve by pipe size and the pressure loss your zone can support: PGA100 has 1-inch female NPT connections, PGA150 has 1-1/2-inch connections and PGA200 has 2-inch connections. Each valve supports globe or angle installation and manual flow adjustment. The optional PRS-D regulator is a separate accessory, so a standard PGA valve does not automatically regulate downstream pressure.

Key Features

• PVC body with glass-filled nylon bonnet.
• Globe or angle installation using the appropriate inlet and closing the unused inlet.
• Non-rising manual flow-control handle.
• Internal bleed for manual operation.
• Filtered pilot flow and normally closed, forward-flow design.

Common Uses

• Automatic landscape irrigation zones with compatible AC valve control.
• Layouts needing a choice of straight-through globe or bottom-inlet angle routing.

Technical Specifications

• PGA100: 1-inch female NPT; PGA150: 1-1/2-inch female NPT; PGA200: 2-inch female NPT.
• Operating pressure: 15–150 psi, subject to temperature derating.
• Maximum continuous pressure by water temperature: 150 psi at 73°F; 132 psi at 80°F; 112 psi at 90°F; 93 psi at 100°F; 75 psi at 110°F.
• Maximum water temperature: 110°F; maximum ambient temperature: 125°F.
• Standard solenoid: 24 VAC, 50/60 Hz; inrush 0.41 A; holding 0.14 A; coil resistance 30–39 ohms.
• Representative pressure loss, globe/angle: 100PGA at 10 GPM = 5.9/5.5 psi; 150PGA at 30 GPM = 1.9/1.3 psi; 200PGA at 50 GPM = 1.5/0.9 psi.
• PRS-D pressure regulation is optional and sold separately.

Dimensions

• 100PGA (height × length × width): 7-1/4 × 5-1/2 × 3-1/4 inches.
• 150PGA (height × length × width): 8 × 6-3/4 × 3-1/2 inches.
• 200PGA (height × length × width): 10 × 7-3/4 × 5 inches.

Compatibility & Installation Notes

Match the female NPT port size, available valve-box clearance and model-specific flow/pressure-loss chart. A series-wide flow range does not establish the capacity of each size. Provide upstream filtration for flows below 5 GPM.

Flush the piping, follow the flow arrow and plug the unused inlet for the chosen globe or angle layout. Manual flow control restricts flow; it is not an automatic pressure regulator.

Gallery illustrations may show the optional PRS-D accessory. It is not included with the standard valve. Battery-controller use requires the appropriate separately selected latching solenoid; the standard AC solenoid is not a universal DC replacement.

Over the years, a select few products have risen above the rest with their unparalleled performance. We're thrilled to share these gems with you. Whenever you spot the "From the Frog" badge, rest assured it's more than just a mark of quality—it's a symbol of our dedication and careful consideration in choosing the best for you. 

Frequently Asked Questions

Which pipe size does each option fit?

PGA100 has 1-inch female NPT connections, PGA150 has 1-1/2-inch female NPT connections and PGA200 has 2-inch female NPT connections.

Does the valve regulate pressure automatically?

The standard valve has manual flow control. Automatic pressure regulation requires the separately selected PRS-D accessory.

Can it operate at 150 psi with hot water?

The pressure rating is temperature dependent. Rain Bird lists 150 psi at 73°F and 75 psi at 110°F; use the published derating table for intermediate temperatures.

Is the standard solenoid suitable for a battery controller?

The supplied standard solenoid is 24 VAC, 50/60 Hz. Battery-controller installations require an appropriate separately selected latching solenoid.

Why Buy from Big Frog Supply?

Choose the PGA size using the pipe connection and its own pressure-loss chart, then use globe or angle routing to fit the valve-box layout. The separate manual flow-control and optional PRS-D functions help distinguish a standard zone valve from a pressure-regulating assembly, while the temperature derating prevents sizing a warm-water installation from the 150 psi headline alone.
