Netafim™ Globe 2-Way Series 80 Nylon Control Valve - 1in - 44 GPM - 24VAC

24VAC Automated Zone Control Valve, 1in

Zoning an irrigation system by hand valve alone doesn't scale past a few sections, and a system that needs automated, repeatable zone control needs a valve built for electric actuation rather than manual operation. Netafim's Globe 2-Way Series 80 nylon control valve is built for 24VAC automated zone control, with a nylon body sized to different port and flow requirements.

This 1in version is rated for 44 GPM, sized for larger irrigation zones or higher-flow feed lines than the 3/4in version supports.

Key Features & Benefits

• 24VAC solenoid actuation — integrates with standard irrigation zone controllers without extra transformers.
• 1in port, 44 GPM rating — sized for larger automated irrigation zones and higher-flow feed lines.
• Nylon valve body — resists corrosion from fertigation solutions and humid greenhouse conditions better than metal valve bodies.
• 2-way globe design — provides straightforward on/off zone control for automated scheduling.

Who Should Use This

This valve fits growers automating zone control on a drip, sprinkler, or mister system, where a controller needs to open and close sections on a schedule rather than relying on manual hand valves.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does 24VAC mean for this valve

It means the valve's solenoid actuator is designed to run on a standard 24-volt AC signal, the common voltage used by irrigation zone controllers. This lets it integrate with typical automated controller setups without a separate transformer for the valve itself.

Why choose a nylon valve body over metal

A nylon body resists the corrosion that can affect metal valves exposed to fertigation solutions and humid greenhouse environments, while keeping the valve lighter than a metal equivalent. Over a season of fertigation use, that corrosion resistance can mean fewer valve replacements.

How do I wire this valve to my controller

Connect the valve's two solenoid leads to the corresponding zone terminal and common terminal on your 24VAC irrigation controller, following the controller manufacturer's wiring instructions. No polarity matters on a standard 24VAC solenoid connection.

Is the 1in, 44 GPM size right for my zone

This size suits larger zones and higher-flow feed lines. If your zone's flow requirement is lower or your feed line runs 3/4in, the smaller 3/4in, 26 GPM version is a better match and costs less.
