The Toro 250/260 & 254/264 Series 1″ FPT Pin-Type Valve (250-00-04) is a heavy-duty, debris-resistant globe valve specifically engineered for residential and light commercial irrigation. This “Pin-Type” model is famous for its self-cleaning ability, making it the “go-to” choice for systems using well water or secondary water sources containing sand or silt.
Key Features
- Self-Cleaning Stainless Steel Metering Pin: Unlike standard valves that use tiny internal orifices that clog easily, this valve uses a moving pin to clear the metering port every time the valve opens and closes.
- Heavy-Duty Construction: Built with Zytel nylon and glass-reinforced caps, it can handle high-pressure surges and harsh outdoor environments without cracking.
- Manual Flow Control: Features an adjustable handle to fine-tune the water flow to each zone, preventing “misty” or inefficient spray patterns.
- Manual External Bleed: Allows you to flush out dirt and debris during installation or startup without turning on the controller.
- High-Pressure Rating: Rated to handle up to 150 PSI, making it much tougher than the standard 100-125 PSI residential valves.
- Low-Profile Design: Its compact shape allows it to fit into smaller valve boxes where space is tight.
