Product Literature

Low head drainage can be seen in an elevation change of fewer than six inches. The resulting runo and water waste
can lead to landscape erosion, unsafe conditions on hardscapes and sidewalks, and pooling around spray heads. The
Toro Precision
Check Valve saves water and eliminates runo by immediately sealing the spray head at its connection
point at the end of the irrigation cycle, thereby preventing the draining of lateral lines through the lowest-lying heads.
Hold Back Strength of Up to 15 Feet
Capable of compensating for elevation changes in a zone of up to
15 feet, the Precision
Check Valve (PCV) eliminates issues with low
head drainage and the resulting water waste.
Spring-Actuated Design
Spring actuation ensures an immediate check when the irrigation
cycle ends.
Low Profile
With an overall profile of just under 1
1
/4” cubic inches, the PCV-500
adds less than
3
/8” of height to retrofitted spray heads and can be
retrofit to side inlet spray heads with minimal digging. The low profile
design makes the PCV-500 ideal for turf or slope applications.
A Universal Fit
Featuring
1
/2
” NPT threads, the PCV fits all major manufacturers’
spray bodies and fittings.
