Compatibility & Installation Notes

Match the inlet thread, 5-series operating key and hose connection before ordering. The nominal 1-inch inlet does not describe the valve’s outside diameter. Select the appropriate operating key, cover key and hose adapter separately.

Isolate and depressurize the supply before installation or service. Provide support and accessible cover clearance at finished grade, following the site design and applicable system requirements.

Keep non-potable water equipment identified and separate from drinking-water equipment. The purple cover is an identification feature; it does not treat water or replace backflow protection. Check the 5-series pressure-loss table to confirm usable outlet pressure at the required flow.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which key opens the 5NP?

The 2049 key unlocks the cover. A matching Rain Bird 55K1 / 55K-1 operating key opens the water connection; these are different functions.

What does the purple cover mean?

It identifies a non-potable water access point and carries warnings in English and Spanish. Water from that system is not for drinking.

Can a garden hose screw directly onto the 5NP inlet?

No. The inlet is a 1-inch female NPT pipe connection. The outlet requires the matching operating key and suitable hose-connection accessory.

Is this the same cover as the 5LRC?

No. The 5NP uses a purple non-potable locking cover. The 5LRC has a yellow locking cover. Select the model that matches the water-system identification requirements.

Why Buy from Big Frog Supply?

Choose the 5NP when a 1-inch NPT access point needs the purple non-potable warning cover as well as a lid lock. Its one-piece body and 55K1-series operating-key connection distinguish it from two-piece 44-series valves; the 5-1/2-inch height and 10–70 GPM listed range also help you check the installation space and hydraulic fit.
