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.
Known world-wide for its hydraulic efficiency and high performance, Nelson’s 800 Series Valves are used in a variety of applications under demanding conditions in agricultural and environment control systems. In October of 2010, Nelson engineers launched an R&D project to develop the next generation of sleeve-style valves. They aimed at addressing critical irrigation issues and raising the bar for valve performance – the result is the new 1000 Series.
1000 Series Valves save energy with higher flow capacity and lower friction loss – better than any other valve on the market. They also have more precise and stable pressure regulation over a wider range of flow and with minimal pressure differential required across the valve.
A modular design provides ultimate flexibility in valve style and connection type while simplifying installation, trouble-shooting and maintenance – great for the grower, installer and system designer!
Choose from 3 different flow path options: inline, tee and elbow.
The “Flex-Connect” approach allows for “mixing and matching” ends. Example: On an inline valve you can choose a 3" victaulic inlet and a 2" victaulic outlet. Nelson valve sizes should be selected based on flow needs as opposed to pipe sizes. Because of the high level of efficiency it is common to select a 2" valve when using 3" pipe.
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.
The unique design of the 1000 Series Valve will change the way systems are designed and managed.
