Mini Regulator Drain Check

Product catalog summary
Product Overview
The document provides technical specifications and operational guidelines for Nelson Irrigation's Mini Regulator (MR), Mini Regulator Drain Check (MRDC), and Mini Drain Check (MDC). These devices are designed to regulate pressure and prevent drainage in irrigation systems.

Specifications
  • Mini Regulator (MR): Offers pressure regulation for uniform flow and distribution. Available in nominal pressures of 20, 30, 35, 40, 45, or 50 PSI (1.4 to 3.4 BAR).
  • Mini Drain Check (MDC): Functions as a check valve, opening 2-5 PSI below the nominal pressure. Available in 20 and 35 PSI options.
  • Mini Regulator Drain Check (MRDC): Combines pressure regulation with a drain check feature to prevent sprinkler drizzle during system start-up and shutdown. Available in the same pressure options as the MR.

Applications
  • Portable irrigation systems to prevent crop washout.
  • Overhead cooling systems for crops like apples.
  • Greenhouse irrigation systems where drainage cannot be tolerated.
  • Systems with high pressure variations due to topography or pipe friction.

Operational Guidelines
  • Maintain a minimum of 5 PSI above nominal pressure to ensure proper function.
  • Not recommended for use in freezing conditions; remove and drain systems to prevent damage.
  • Maximum inlet pressure is 150 PSI.
  • Devices require flow to regulate pressure and are not suitable for static conditions.

Warranty and Liability
The products are warranted for one year against defects in materials and workmanship. The warranty is limited to repair or replacement of defective parts and excludes liability for crop or consequential damages.

Connection Options
Various connection options are available, including MNPT and FNPT threads, and Acme threads for both inlets and outlets.

Mini Regulator Drain Check-1

MINI REGULATOR, MINI REGULATOR DRAIN CHECK & MINI DRAIN CHECK MDC or MRDC Gray Outlet Brown Outlet Green Outlet Portable irrigation systems to eliminate crop wash out from partially pressurized sprinklers during system start up and shut down. For systems in which pressure ranges are excessive, the Nelson Mini Regulator provides uniform flow and distribution at each sprinkler through pressure regulation. Choose from 20, 30, 35, 40, 45, or 50 PSI (1.4, 2.1, 2.4, 2.8, 3.1 or 3.4 BAR) nominal pressures. Mini Regulator Drain Check (MRDC) To eliminate sprinkler drizzle during shut down and start up and for pressure regulation use the Nelson Mini Regulator Drain Check. Choose from 20, 30, 35, 40, 45, or 50 PSI (1.4, 2.1, 2.4, 2.8, 3.1 or 3.4 BAR) nominal pressures. Mini Drain Check (MDC) The MDC is a check valve only that opens 2-5 PSI (.14-.35 BAR) below the nominal pressure rating. Available in 20 and 35 PSI (1.4-2.4 BAR) options. Ideal when a check feature only is needed or when it is necessary to operate sprinklers at different pressures that best suit environmental conditions. Overhead cooling of apples and other crops to prevent drainage of the system in between frequent on / off cycles of the irrigation system. With adequate pressure, the MR and MRDC regulate to design pressure but the MDC is open fully and does not regulate. (flow not regulated) (flow not regulated) (flow not regulated) Greenhouse irrigation systems where sprinkler dripping or drainage after shut down cannot be tolerated. With low pressure, the MR is open, the MRDC and MDC are closed to draining. With no pressure, the MR is open, the MRDC and MDC are closed to draining. Systems where pressure gains or losses are high due to uneven topography or high friction loss in pipes to ensure high uniformity and even flow of all sprinklers in a system.
