PEB and PESB Series Valves
Designed to Outperform. Engineered to Outlast.
Overview
Pressure surges, effluent water, or clogging debris are not issues for the PEB and PESB Series valves. These valves offer long life and efficient, trouble-free performance, even under harsh conditions. Constructed of heavy-duty, glass-filled nylon, these valves resist clogging. The PESB model features a patented scrubber to actively fight dirt, debris, and particles.
Features
- Body constructed of durable glass-filled nylon for long life and heavy-duty performance at 200 psi (13.80 bar) pressure.
- Stainless steel studs molded into the body. Bonnet can be attached and removed more easily without damaging threads.
- One-piece solenoid design with captured plunger and spring for easy servicing. Prevents loss of parts during field service.
- External bleed protects the solenoid ports from debris when the system is flushed.
- Internal bleed operates the valve without allowing water into the valve box; allows pressure regulator to be adjusted without turning on the valve at the controller first.
- Low flow operating capability (0.25 gpm; 0.06 m³/h; 1.2 l/m) for a wide range of applications. For flows below 5 gpm (1.14 m³/h; 19.2 l/m) or any Xerigation® application, install a Rain Bird Y filter upstream.
- Slow closing prevents water hammer and subsequent system damage.
- PESB only: Scrubber scrapes its stainless steel screen clean to break down grit and plant material, preventing debris build-up and clogging.

Notes: 1) Loss values are with flow control fully open. 2) PRS-D module recommended for all flow ranges.
Recommendations
- Rain Bird recommends flow rates in the supply line not to exceed 7.5 ft./sec. (2.29 m/s) to reduce the effects of water hammer.
- For flows below 5 gpm (1.14 m³/h; 19.21 l/m), Rain Bird recommends using upstream filtration to prevent debris from collecting below the diaphragm.
- For flows below 10 gpm (2.27 m³/h; 37.8 l/m), Rain Bird recommends turning the flow control stem down two full turns from the fully open position.

Specifications (Detailed)
The electric remote control valve shall be a normally closed 24 VAC 50/60 Hz (cycles/sec) solenoid actuated globe pattern design. The valve pressure rating shall not be less than 200 psi (13.80 bar). The valve shall have the following characteristics:
- Flow rate: [Specify gpm, m³/h, l/m]
- Pressure loss not to exceed: [Specify psi, bar]
The valve body shall be constructed of heavy-duty glass-filled UV-resistant nylon and have stainless steel studs and flange nuts; diaphragm shall be of nylon-reinforced nitrile rubber.
The valve shall have both internal and external manual open/close control (internal and external bleed) to manually open and close the valve without electrically energizing the solenoid. The valve's internal bleed shall prevent flooding of the valve box.
The valve shall house a fully-encapsulated, one-piece solenoid. The solenoid shall have a captured plunger with a removable retainer for easy servicing and a leverage handle for easy turning. This 24 VAC 50/60 Hz solenoid shall open with 19.6 VAC minimum at 200 psi (13.80 bar). At 24 VAC, average inrush current shall not exceed 0.41 amps. Average holding current shall not exceed 0.28 amps.
The valve shall have a brass flow control stem for accurate manual regulation and/or shut-off of outlet flow. The valve must open or close in less than 1 minute at 200 psi (13.80 bar), and less than 30 seconds at 20 psi (1.38 bar).
The PESB valve shall have a self-cleaning stainless steel screen designed for use in dirty water applications.
The valve construction shall be such as to provide for all internal parts to be removable from the top of the valve without disturbing the valve installation.
Optional Feature Specification
PRS-D Pressure Regulating Module
Models: 100PEB-PRS-D, 100PESB-PRS-D, 150PEB-PRS-D, 150PESB-PRS-D, 200PEB-PRS-D, 200PESB-PRS-D
When indicated on the design, the 1", 1½", and 2" electric remote control plastic valves shall have a pressure regulating module (PRS-D) capable of regulating outlet pressure between 15 and 100 psi (±3 psi) (1.04 and 6.90 bar (±0.21 bar)).
The PRS-D module shall have an adjusting knob for setting pressure and a Schrader valve connection for monitoring pressure. The pressure shall be adjustable from the PRS-D when the valve is internally manually bled or electrically activated.
Non-Potable Flow Control Handle
PEB-NP-HAN1 - Fits 1"
PEB-NP-HAN2 - Fits 1½" and 2"
When indicated on the design, the valve shall have a purple flow control handle to indicate to the user that non-potable water is being used. There shall be no difference between the black and purple handles except for the color.
