Zurn Weathermatic 8200CR-30D 3" Bronze Bullet Valve, 24VAC - 8200CR-30D

Zurn Weathermatic 8200CR-30D 3" Bronze Bullet Valve, 24VAC - 8200CR-30D

Weathermatic 8200CR-30D is a 3" bronze (red brass) Bullet Valve engineered for commercial irrigation. It combines durable metal construction, reliable 24VAC solenoid operation, and a reverse-flow design to protect systems and conserve water in the event of failure.

Dimensions for the 3" model: length 8.75", width 7.00", height 8.50". Flow range 0.2–400 GPM depending on model; designed for low-volume irrigation and robust commercial use. Documents, technical specs, and installation guides are available for download.

Features

• 3" (8200CR-30D) bronze/red-brass body and cover with stainless steel bolts; 82% copper content for corrosion resistance.
• S24B high-efficiency solenoid (24VAC) with stainless steel actuator and brass threads for long life and positive opening at high pressures.
• 225 PSI (15.5 bar) pressure rating; diaphragm is chlorine- and chloramine-resistant EPDM for contamination resistance.
• Reverse flow design and internal manual bleed lever reduce water loss and simplify maintenance when servicing downstream components.
• Brass shock cone and self-cleaning diaphragm ports minimize water hammer and inhibit sand/silt clogging for reliable operation.
• Compatible with optional XPR pressure regulator and non-potable alert handle; available factory-installed options and accessory modules.

What our Experts Think

• Compact commercial irrigation control: The Zurn Weathermatic 8200CR-10D 1" Bronze Bullet Valve is a heavy-duty, 24VAC solenoid valve designed for reliable automatic operation in residential and commercial irrigation systems.
• Built for long service life: Features a bronze body with stainless steel hardware and a corrosion-resistant diaphragm system engineered for underground installation and harsh environments.
• High-pressure rated performance: Rated up to 225 PSI working pressure, making it suitable for demanding municipal and commercial irrigation applications.
• Flow control included: Integrated adjustable flow control allows precise tuning of zone performance and helps reduce water hammer and overspray issues.
• Smart hydraulic design: Reverse-flow construction with a brass shock cone helps minimize water hammer while improving system stability during operation.
• Low-flow capable: Operates efficiently across a wide flow range (approx. 0.2 to 400 GPM), making it suitable for both drip and standard irrigation zones.
• Service-friendly features: Internal manual bleed and fully serviceable diaphragm design allow maintenance without removing the valve from the pipeline.
• Professional contractor choice: Widely used in commercial irrigation for its durability, predictable performance, and ease of long-term maintenance.

Q&A

Q: What does the “flow control” feature do?
A: It allows precise adjustment of downstream flow, helping balance pressure, prevent overspray, and improve irrigation efficiency.

Q: What are key features of the 8200CR-10D?
A: It includes a bronze body for durability, 24VAC solenoid operation, 225 PSI pressure rating, internal manual bleed, and a reverse-flow diaphragm design for reliable shutoff.

Q: Why is the bronze construction important?
A: Bronze provides high corrosion resistance and long service life in demanding outdoor irrigation environments.

Q: Where is it typically installed?
A: In commercial irrigation systems, landscaping zones, drip systems, and municipal watering applications requiring durable automated control.

Q: Is it serviceable?
A: Yes, it is designed to be fully serviceable with replaceable internal components without removing the valve from the pipeline.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect regularly for leaks, corrosion, and valve body or fitting damage.
• Verify proper 24VAC solenoid operation during scheduled irrigation cycles.
• Adjust and check flow control settings to maintain consistent zone performance.
• Flush the system periodically to reduce sediment and debris buildup.
• Inspect electrical connections and solenoid for secure, moisture-free operation.
• Replace worn diaphragms, seals, or solenoid components with compatible repair kits as needed.
• Winterize in freezing conditions to prevent internal damage and extend service life.
