Rain Bird unveils new commercial drip control zone kit

Rain Bird introduced a fully assembled 1.5-inch inline commercial drip control zone kit.

It includes a 15-62 gpm flow rate to cover larger drip zones with fewer components.

“Our new control zone kit provides contractors and specifiers with an all-in-one solution that delivers convenience and savings to large drip zone installations,” said Ivonne Meza, product manager for Rain Bird’s Landscape Drip division. “It decreases installation time and costs by ensuring that all key components are included and properly assembled.”

The kit is engineered to minimize friction loss and preserve water pressure, according to Rain Bird. It features a 1.5-inch large-capacity screen filter, 1.5-inch PEB globe valve and 1.5-inch 40 psi pressure regulator.

Additionally, the kit’s inline configuration allows contractors to install two kits in a single jumbo valve box.

“It eliminates the hassle of assembling a control zone kit from scratch and improves reliability, convenience and savings,” Meza said. “It’s just another way Rain Bird is helping make drip irrigation easier and more readily available for sites both large and small.”

A reclaimed water version of the inline control zone kit is also available, featuring a purple identifier, spacer, scrubber globe valve and disc filter.
