Uses

 Line Flushing in Drip Irrigation

• It is primarily used at the end of drip laterals or submains to flush out dirt, debris, and sediments that accumulate inside the pipes.
• This helps prevent clogging of drippers or emitters.

System Maintenance

• Enables easy maintenance by allowing operators to manually open the valve and clean the system regularly.
• Extends the life of filters, laterals, and drippers.

 Initial Flushing During Startup

• When a new irrigation system is installed, flush valves are used to clean the pipes before connecting drippers.
• Ensures that no construction debris or soil enters the system.

Seasonal Flushing

• At the start of each irrigation season, the flush valve is opened to remove any stagnant water or sediment.

Used in Mainlines and Submains

• The 2” size is suitable for larger flow capacities, so it’s typically installed at the end of 2-inch PVC or HDPE submain lines.
