Rain Bird 200PESBR 2-Inch Reclaimed-Water Valve

Rain Bird 200PESBR 2-Inch Reclaimed-Water Valve

Brand: Rain Bird | SKU: 200PESBR

Product Overview

Choose the Rain Bird 200PESBR for a reclaimed-water zone with 2-inch female NPT connections. Its scrubber cleans the internal pilot screen, while chlorine-resistant components and a purple handle identify the PESB-R application. For a higher-flow zone, the 2-inch chart lists 4.7 psi loss at 100 GPM and 18.9 psi at 200 GPM. Check the available pressure and the 8-inch-high body before selecting the valve.

Key Features

• Chlorine-resistant PESB-R components for reclaimed water.
• Scrubber cleans the internal stainless steel pilot screen.
• Purple flow-control handle identifies non-potable service.
• Internal/external manual bleed and serviceable stud-mounted bonnet.

Common Uses

• Commercial landscape zones using reclaimed irrigation water.
• Replacing a matching 2-inch PESB-R valve where screen-cleaning action is needed.

Technical Specifications

• Model / factory part: 200PESBR / B37400; Rain Bird 2-inch PESB-R.
• Connections: 2-inch female NPT inlet and outlet; inline globe configuration.
• Body: heavy-duty glass-filled nylon with stainless steel body studs.
• Reclaimed-water design: chlorine- and chemical-resistant diaphragm/scrubber components; purple flow-control handle.
• Screen cleaning: scrubber mechanically cleans the stainless steel pilot screen.
• Operating pressure: 20–200 psi; maximum temperature: 150°F.
• Power: 24 VAC, 50/60 Hz; ratings at 60 Hz: inrush 0.41 A, holding 0.14 A, nominal coil resistance 30–39 ohms.
• Manual flow control plus internal and external bleed.
• Published family flow range without PRS-D: 0.25–200 GPM. Use the exact model’s pressure-loss chart and, if adding PRS-D, its applicable host-valve flow table.
• Model-specific chart, flow control fully open: 50 GPM = 3.7 psi; 100 GPM = 4.7 psi; 200 GPM = 18.9 psi.
• PRS-D pressure regulation and latching-solenoid configurations are optional and ordered separately.

Dimensions

• Overall height: 8 inches.
• Overall length: 6 inches.
• Overall width: 6 inches.
• Optional PRS-D module adds 2 inches to valve height.

Compatibility & Installation Notes

Confirm the PESB-R marking and female NPT size. The R model is selected for reclaimed-water service; a purple handle does not treat water or replace required backflow protection.

Match the direction arrow to the supply and lateral piping, flush debris before installation, and leave room above the bonnet for service. Use waterproof irrigation wire connections.

Select flow from the exact size’s pressure-loss chart with the flow-control stem fully open. The broad family range does not mean every size is suitable at every flow.

For flow below 5 GPM, Rain Bird recommends upstream filtration. Below 10 GPM, follow the technical sheet’s flow-control adjustment guidance.

The supplied 24 VAC configuration requires a compatible controller. A battery/latching conversion uses a different solenoid and is limited to 150 psi; verify that configuration separately.

PRS-D is an optional accessory, not built-in regulation. Allow the additional 2-inch height if installing it. The linked G4 guide covers solenoid service, not a change to the valve’s reclaimed-water parts.

*One solenoid handle per order

Frequently Asked Questions

How is PESB-R different from a standard PESB valve?

PESB-R adds components selected for chlorine and chemicals in reclaimed water, with a purple flow-control handle. It also uses a scrubber to clean the pilot screen.

Does the purple handle make the water safe to drink?

No. It identifies a non-potable application. The valve does not purify water or replace required backflow protection.

Is a pressure regulator included?

No. The valve has manual flow control and accepts an optional PRS-D module. Order and configure pressure regulation separately.

What pressure loss should I allow?

Use the 2-inch model’s chart. With flow control fully open, it lists 4.7 psi at 100 GPM and 18.9 psi at 200 GPM.

Why Buy from Big Frog Supply?

Choose 200PESBR for 2-inch female NPT piping where reclaimed-water resistance and a screen scrubber are needed together. The 100 GPM chart point costs 4.7 psi, which helps check pressure remaining for the sprinklers. Allow its 8-inch height and 6-by-6-inch footprint, plus 2 inches if adding PRS-D regulation.
