Frequently Asked Questions - DK-LV-MF Irritrol

What is the Irritrol DK-LV-MF Drip Zone Kit?

The DK-LV-MF is a drip zone kit without a valve, designed for medium flow applications (2-20 GPM at 25 psi). It includes a pressure regulator, Y-filter, compression adapter, and fittings to connect to a drip irrigation system.

What is the maximum supply pressure for this kit?

The maximum supply pressure is 150 psi. The downstream pressure is regulated to 25 psi.

What flow rate does the DK-LV-MF support?

The medium flow model supports a flow rate of 2 to 20 GPM at the regulated pressure of 25 psi.

What filtration is included in the kit?

The kit includes a 3/4" MPT x MPT Y-filter with a 150 mesh stainless steel screen to protect downstream components.

How should I install the Y-filter and pressure regulator?

Use PTFE tape (1½ to 2 turns) on male threads. Ensure components are oriented according to flow direction arrows. Angle the Y-filter slightly downward. Do not use pipe dope.

Can I install this kit underground?

Yes, installation below grade in a valve box is recommended for protection and ease of service.

How do I adapt the kit for dripline?

Install the provided 3/4" MPT x 1/2" slip fitting and CA-710 dripline compression adapter onto the pressure regulator outlet.

How many drip emitters can I connect to this kit?

Refer to the emitter table: For 0.5 GPH emitters, 240-2400; for 1.0 GPH, 120-1200; for 2.0 GPH, 60-600. These ranges are for the medium flow model.

Do I need to flush the system after installation?

Yes, it is important to flush the system to remove debris before operating with drip emitters.

What type of valve can I use with this kit?

The kit is designed to be used with a separate electric control valve (not included). Compatible valves include Irritrol 2500TF, 2711APR, 700B-.75, or 700-1 series, typically 24 VAC solenoid operated.

Installation Procedure

CAUTION: When assembling the drip zone valve kit components, use just 1 12 to 2 turns of PTFE tape on male threads. Never use pipe dope. To achieve a leak-free thread connection, turn the male fitting until it is finger-tight, and then add one or two more turns. Over-tightening can cause splitting and failure of the female threads.

⚠️ Important: Ensure the Y-filter, control valve and pressure regulator are installed in the correct flow orientation. Flow direction arrows are provided on each component. Refer to Figure 1.

1. Thread the Y-filter inlet into the valve outlet with the provided 1" x 3/4" NPT reducer bushing. Use PTFE tape on all threaded connections. Angle the Y-filter slightly downward as shown in Figure 1.
2. Thread the pressure regulator inlet into the Y-filter outlet.
3. Connect the water source supply line and piping to drip emitters.

NOTE: Installing the valve assembly below grade in a valve box is recommended for protection and ease of service.

NOTE: Refer to the 2500TF Series Valve Instruction Guide provided in the kit for complete valve installation and operation information.

NOTE: To adapt the Drip Zone Valve Kit for dripline applications, install the provided 3/4" MPT x 1/2" Slip fitting and CA-710 dripline compression adapter to the pressure regulator outlet.

1. Flush the system to remove debris.
2. To determine the recommended minimum/maximum number of drip emitters per control valve, refer to the table below.
