Real Specifications
| Spec | Value | Source document |
|---|---|---|
| Nylon vs. PVC valve guidance | Nylon valves for mild corrosive/acidity levels; PVC valves for higher corrosive/acidity levels | Netafim USA — Wastewater Subsurface Drip Dispersal |
| Iron valve sizes/rating | 1"-24", max 176°F, direct sealing diaphragm as the only moving part | Netafim USA — Wastewater Subsurface Drip Dispersal |
| Nylon/PVC valve sizes/rating | 1"-6", max 140°F | Netafim USA — Wastewater Subsurface Drip Dispersal |
| Combination Air Vent rating | 150-250 psi (size-dependent), reopens at 12 psi | Netafim USA — Wastewater Subsurface Drip Dispersal |
Air/vacuum relief vents are explicitly marketed to dampen water hammer and break vacuum on system drain — vacuum-induced pipe collapse is a real failure mode on sloped drip-dispersal and irrigation runs, not just a nuisance-air-release feature.
Netafim's own material guidance is explicit — nylon valves for mild corrosive/acidity water, PVC for the higher end — the kind of two-tier spec choice that gets skipped when a supplier sells "irrigation valves" as one undifferentiated category.
