As I have mine installed, I cannot be as precise as I would like. In any case, it is only an The length is 14 cm (not inches).
Although 3/4" pressure regulators between 1-inch tubing are not ideal, the same model comes in 1" (gear should be yellow instead of red) and should deliver 40 psi at least, according to their website.
The PSI should be set to 30. A 1" pressure regulator is required for an accurate pressure reading of 40 PSI.
In this series, you have a choice between 3/4" and 1". You can consider commercial grade regulators if you want a larger device In a few vineyards, I saw them as tall as 6 inches. For a drip and micro spray system, no more than 40 psi is a good amount.

It is ideal for drip systems because it works as a pressure regulator and filter. A filter is usually installed behind the valve in most installations. These are frequently made of polypropylene and are not meant to be used as supply side pressure valves. I will show you a trick not often seen. The filter / regulator should be installed behind a shutoff valve for ease of maintenance, then installations of valves and drip systems can begin. What do you think? The 200 micron filter will protect your drip lines, so that the pressure will be at 30 PSI at the valves, and you are protecting your drip lines and valves all at once. The pressure rating on this unit is 150 PSI, so unless you have incredibly high water pressure on the supply side, you will be just fine. We have this available in a 1 inch size and 40 lb weight. This regulation applies. It is recommended that you install this model on a 3/4 inch shaft. You will only need two reducing adapters for each line. A union would also be helpful, since they are made of PVC, so you can remove / install them more easily.
four of these installed at home, and there will be instances when the white plug on the device pops out or starts dripping. My HVAC units have needed to be replaced four times within three The unit did not come with the plug in one of them! Though I've never tested my water pressure, it doesn't seem abnormal (even though I have never tested it), so I would expect it to be a little stronger to hold It works well when it works. I gave it a 3.
After over five years of slowly changing the raised irrigation sprinklers in our gardens to drip irrigation, I converted to drip Immediately downstream from Rain Bird irrigation valves, I have installed 5 of these. I really like how well they work. As of this year, my oldest child washes the micro-filter once a year except when it gets dirty Unlike mesh screens, mesh screens have not required any maintenance. Several others have reported having clogged emitters, and I have over 1500 feet of drip line and several hundred Since the micromesh screen has kept impurities out of the water supply, I have never had an emitter clog. The product would be a good choice for me to buy.
As a result, I ordered this and installed it on my system. Both at inlet and outlet, the pressure at outlet was exactly where I expected it to be. A pressure of 31 PSI is required. During the next few days, I will keep checking to ensure everything is working properly. My reviews suggested that this product was a good buy, so I purchased it!.
This is the second one I I really like how well they work. There seems to be good quality plastic in these bottles which filter well (often find sediment in our water) and do really well on down tests. Pressure on the line. The price was well worth it.
When I found out that this device did not reduce my water pressure at all, I was quite disappointed. A few days after installing the drip irrigation system, I noticed that it was leaking. During my failed repairs, I decided to install a pressure gauge on my system and learn that it was 60 psi, the same pressure as the supply line. Two of these items were purchased, and the second unit gave me the same results. It was not helpful at all when I called Rain Bird!.
Using a regulator on drip systems will ensure incorrect flows from emitters will not occur due to too high a pressure. Clogs can also be avoided by using a filter.
Having just started my second attempt, I have encountered some problems each time. A water leak was found this time coming from the white dots on the tube below. Can anyone tell me what those are The combination of regulator and filter is appealing, but it would be better if it were.
