Irritech drain plug 1”thread including three parts: drain body , head and internal seal.

It allows the automatic water discharge from the main pipe in center pivot / linear irrigation system when the working pressure is cut (when the machine stops), to prevent frost damage.

Remote drain option also available, the drain valves are located at the lowest points on the span pipe, at the height of the towers, draining some water onto the wheel track.

Use Scenarios

Preventing Frost Damage in Cold Climates
In regions prone to freezing temperatures, the Irritech Drain Valve plays a vital role in protecting irrigation systems from frost damage. By automatically discharging water when the system halts, it ensures that residual water does not freeze within the pipes, which could otherwise lead to pipe bursts and costly repairs. This feature is particularly beneficial during winter months or in areas with unpredictable weather patterns.

Enhancing System Longevity and Efficiency
Regular drainage of irrigation lines is essential for maintaining the efficiency and longevity of the system. The Irritech Drain Valve facilitates this by allowing for the removal of excess water, thereby reducing the risk of corrosion and sediment buildup within the pipes. By ensuring that the system remains clear and free from stagnant water, it contributes to optimal performance and extended service life.

Facilitating Remote Drainage Operations
For large-scale irrigation operations, manual drainage can be labor-intensive and time-consuming. The Irritech Drain Valve offers a remote drain option, enabling operators to control the drainage process from a distance. This feature is particularly advantageous for systems with multiple spans or those located in expansive fields, as it streamlines maintenance procedures and reduces the need for manual intervention.


FAQ 

What is the primary function of the Irritech Drain Valve?
The Irritech Drain Valve automatically discharges water from the main pipe in center pivot and linear irrigation systems when the working pressure is cut, preventing frost damage.

What components make up the Drain Valve?
The valve consists of three parts: the drain body, head, and internal seal, and features a 1-inch threaded connection.

Is there an option for remote drainage?
Yes, the Irritech Drain Valve offers a remote drain option, allowing operators to control the drainage process from a distance.

How does the Drain Valve prevent frost damage?
By automatically discharging water when the system stops, the valve ensures that residual water does not freeze within the pipes, thereby preventing potential frost damage.

Where should the Drain Valve be installed?
The valve is typically located at the lowest points on the span pipe, at the height of the towers, to effectively drain water onto the wheel track.
