Designed for PLD landscape dripline, the PLD-BV 17mm barb ball valve provides a simple, reliable shut-off solution that blends discreetly with brown PLD tubing. Engineered for easy field service, this valve is a compact in-line ball valve that installs quickly and stays secure under normal irrigation conditions.

  • Compatible with 17 mm PLD dripline: Fits standard 17 mm dripline and tubing used in residential and commercial landscape irrigation.
  • Secure dual-barb design: Dual barbs hold tubing firmly in place so clamps are generally not required for typical installations.
  • Durable materials: Supplier specifications list acetal construction for UV and wear resistance; suitable for outdoor drip systems.
  • Simple push-on installation: Works with PLD grommets and a 17.5 mm spade drill bit for fast, repeatable installs and maintenance.
  • Compact shut-off control: Provides manual on/off service at localized points on the lateral without removing tubing.
  • System rating: Common supplier listings show a working pressure around 4.1 bar (60 PSI) and carton quantities of 50 for bulk ordering.

This PLD-BV valve is ideal for contractors and homeowners who need a small, serviceable shut-off or flush point on PLD drip laterals. It matches PLD dripline color to remain visually unobtrusive under mulch and offers a reliable mechanical seal for everyday irrigation use. Consult product pdfs and tech sheets for detailed installation steps and warranty information before installing in freeze-prone areas or high-pressure applications.
