For over 25 years, Nelson Irrigation Corporation has perfected the sleeve-style valve with the continued development of the 800 Series Control Valve product line. Nelson’s 800 Series Valves are used in a variety of applications under demanding conditions in agricultural and environment control systems. Nelson has now launched a new generation of sleeve-style valves aimed at addressing critical irrigation issues – the new 1000 Series.
The 1000 Series is geared to handle tough agricultural environments. The internal filter or optional external filter protects ports from plugging. There is no ‘continuous bleed’ port, which minimised blockage potential and the improved cage design more effectively passes debris. A modular design provides flexibility in valve style and connection type while simplifying installation, trouble-shooting and maintenance.
The valves provide three different flow path options – inline, tee and elbow – and come with five inlet/outlet styles. 1000 Series valve applications include zone control for sprinkler or drip irrigated row crops, nursery crops, orchards and vineyards. The valve fits perfectly under a Big Gun® for solid set irrigation, end of pivot solutions and a variety of environmental controls including fire suppression, dust suppression and cooling.
