Zurn Weathermatic 8200CR-25D 2.5" Bronze Bullet Valve, 24VAC, 225 PSI - 8200CR-25D

Zurn Weathermatic 8200CR-25D 2.5" Bronze Bullet Valve, 24VAC, 225 PSI - 8200CR-25D

The Weathermatic 8200CR-25D Bronze Bullet Valve is a 2.5-inch solenoid-operated diaphragm valve engineered for commercial irrigation and landscape applications. Reverse-flow porting and heavy-duty bronze construction deliver reliable, long-life operation underground.

Downloadable documents and technical specifications are available for model details and pressure-loss charts. Designed for underground burial and standard 24VAC controllers, the 8200CR-25D is ideal for commercial and heavy-duty residential irrigation systems.

Features

• Durable construction: Bronze body and cover, stainless steel cover bolts, and a brass shock cone for corrosion resistance and smooth operation.
• Proven performance: 225 PSI working pressure, flow range 0.2–400 GPM, and 100% water-tested with a 10-year trade warranty.
• Reliable actuation: S24B high-efficiency solenoid with stainless steel actuator and brass threads for positive opening at high pressures.
• Reverse-flow design: Unique porting balances diaphragm pressure to prevent diaphragm stretching and conserve water in the event of failure.
• Compact dimensions: Length 8.00", Width 6.25", Height 8.00" for the 2.5-inch model — fits standard valve boxes and retrofit applications.
• Easy maintenance: Replaceable diaphragm and serviceable parts reduce downtime; compatible repair kits are available for field servicing.

What our Experts Think

• Commercial-grade bronze construction: Full bronze body and cover with stainless steel hardware deliver long service life and strong corrosion resistance for underground use.
• High-pressure performance: Rated up to 225 PSI working pressure, designed to handle demanding municipal and commercial irrigation systems.
• High-flow capability: Supports approximately 0.2 to 400 GPM, making it suitable for large irrigation zones and mainline distribution.
• Reverse-flow diaphragm design: Helps reduce water hammer, improves reliability, and ensures fail-closed safety in diaphragm failure conditions.
• Self-cleaning internal ports: Minimizes clogging from sand and debris for more consistent long-term operation.
• Serviceable in the field: Replaceable diaphragm and internal components allow maintenance without removing the valve body from the pipeline.
• Manual bleed + flow control: Built-in adjustments allow quick manual operation and precise flow tuning during installation or servicing.

Q&A

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect regularly for leaks, diaphragm wear, and external corrosion, especially after seasonal pressure spikes.
• Keep valve box clean and dry to prevent sediment, debris, and moisture-related electrical issues.
• Flush irrigation lines periodically to reduce sediment buildup that can affect valve sealing and flow.
• Check 24VAC solenoid wiring and connections for tightness and waterproofing to ensure reliable operation.
• Test both manual and automatic operation seasonally to confirm proper zone performance.
• Ensure system pressure stays within rated limits (up to 225 PSI) to avoid long-term stress.
• In cold climates, perform proper winterization and drainage to prevent freeze damage to bronze components.
