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

Reliable Solenoid Zone Control for Precision Irrigation

The Netafim™ Globe 2-Way Series 80 Nylon Control Valve delivers dependable zone and master valve control in residential and commercial irrigation systems. Built with a durable nylon body rated to handle 44 GPM at 1in, this 24VAC solenoid valve features manual flow control and is compatible with major two-wire control systems — giving you the flexibility to automate any zone without complex wiring. Its globe-style body reduces turbulence and pressure loss, supporting consistent, efficient water delivery across the entire irrigation layout.

Key Features & Benefits

• High-flow capacity — rated at 44 GPM for 1in connections, supporting large irrigation zones and multi-emitter runs without pressure drop.
• Durable nylon body (Series 80) — chemical-resistant construction withstands fertilizer injections, UV exposure, and demanding outdoor environments.
• 24VAC solenoid operation — compatible with standard irrigation controllers and two-wire decoder systems for seamless zone automation.
• Manual flow control — built-in flow adjustment allows fine-tuning of zone output without adding separate regulators.
• Globe-style design — smooth internal geometry reduces turbulence and pressure loss for efficient, consistent water distribution.
• Two-wire system compatible — works with major two-wire decoder control platforms, simplifying installation in large commercial layouts.

Who Should Use This

Commercial greenhouse operators, landscape irrigators, and agricultural growers who need reliable, automatable zone control valves for large-scale drip, sprinkler, or micro-irrigation systems.

Compatibility

Sized at 1in with 44 GPM flow rating. Operates on 24VAC power. Compatible with most standard irrigation controllers and major two-wire decoder systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this valve be used as a master valve as well as a zone valve?

Yes — the Globe 2-Way Series 80 is suitable for both zone and master valve applications, making it a versatile choice for system design.

Does the manual flow control replace the need for a separate pressure regulator?

It can reduce pressure and flow at the zone level, but a dedicated pressure regulator is still recommended upstream if your supply pressure is highly variable.

Is this valve compatible with fertilizer injection (fertigation) lines?

The nylon body is chemical-resistant and suitable for fertigation applications, though compatibility should be confirmed with your specific nutrient solution EC and pH range.

What wire gauge is recommended for 24VAC connection?

Standard 18 AWG irrigation wire is appropriate for most installations; consult your controller's documentation for maximum wire run distances at your solenoid count.
