Netafim Low Volume Control Zone Kit
Product Overview
System failures in low volume irrigation often stem from poor filtration or inconsistent pressure regulation, leading to clogged emitters and localized plant death. When peak summer heat hits, your crews cannot afford to spend days troubleshooting zones or replacing ruined plant material due to debris in the lines. With current supply chain fluctuations and high seasonal demand, waiting until a system fails to secure quality control components puts your reputation and project deadlines at risk. Proactively installing professional grade control kits ensures your client landscapes remain healthy and your inspection schedules stay on track despite industry wide shortages.
The Netafim Low Volume Control Zone Kit outperforms pieced together manifolds by integrating a high grade disc filter with a precise pressure regulator in a compact, pre assembled format. This design eliminates the labor intensive process of sourcing and solvent welding multiple components, which reduces the potential for leak points and assembly errors. By utilizing a single unit that manages both filtration and regulation, you save significant time in the trench and provide a more reliable solution than standard screen filters. Maintaining a stock of these kits gives your firm a competitive advantage by allowing for rapid deployment and reduced long term maintenance callbacks.

Different disc mesh sizes are available to match specific emitter requirements, and you should contact our sales team for bulk pricing or custom configurations for large scale commercial projects.
Key Features
- Integrated disc filtration captures significantly more debris than standard mesh screens for longer intervals between cleanings.
- Pre assembled construction reduces on site labor costs and minimizes the risk of installation errors or leaks.
- Compact footprint allows for smaller valve boxes, reducing overall material costs for the project.
- Chemically resistant components ensure compatibility with common fertilizers and soil amendments.
- Consistent pressure regulation protects downstream emitters from high pressure surges and prevents internal component damage.
- Easy access filter cap allows for rapid manual cleaning without the need for specialized tools or system disassembly.
Common Applications
- Commercial landscape irrigation
- Residential lawn and garden systems
- Agricultural and crop irrigation
- Municipal parks and public spaces
- Greenhouse and nursery operations
- Drip and micro irrigation zones
Installation Notes
Install the control zone kit in a standard valve box with sufficient clearance for filter removal and cleaning. Ensure the flow arrow on the valve body aligns with the direction of water travel toward the emission devices. Use PTFE tape or a compatible thread sealant on all threaded connections; avoid over tightening to prevent stress cracks in the plastic housing. Review local plumbing codes for backflow prevention requirements upstream of the control kit to ensure full regulatory compliance.
