Raindrip Inc R460CB Hose Pressure Regulator 3/4 Inch 15-20 Psi

Product Description

The RAINDRIP INC R460CB is a pre-set hose pressure regulator designed to reduce incoming water pressure to a consistent 15-20 psi range at a 3/4-inch hose connection. This type of regulator protects drip irrigation emitters, micro-spray heads, and soaker hose systems from pressure surges that cause uneven water distribution or component failure. The pre-set design requires no field adjustment, making installation straightforward for irrigation technicians and plumbers working on residential or light commercial irrigation systems. At 3.04 pounds, it is compact enough for direct inline installation without additional support hardware.

This regulator is suited for residential and light commercial drip irrigation and low-flow sprinkler applications where system pressure must be stepped down to the 15-20 psi range required by most drip emitter and micro-irrigation components. It connects at a standard 3/4-inch hose thread interface, making it compatible with typical garden hose bibs and hose-thread irrigation manifolds. Irrigation contractors and plumbers installing drip systems commonly place this regulator at the supply connection point before the filter and emitter lines.

Key Features

• Pre-set output pressure of 15-20 psi — no field adjustment required
• 3/4-inch hose thread connection for direct attachment to standard hose bibs and manifolds
• Protects drip emitters and micro-spray components from pressure-related damage
• Compact and lightweight at 3.04 pounds for easy inline installation
• Sold as individual unit for single-point pressure regulation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style inline pressure regulator for residential and light commercial drip irrigation systems using standard 3/4-inch hose thread connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or qualified irrigation technician. Shut off the water supply completely before making any connections. Hand-tighten the regulator at the hose bib or manifold connection, then snug with pliers — avoid over-tightening, which can crack the regulator housing. Verify output pressure with a test gauge after initial startup to confirm the regulator is functioning within the 15-20 psi range before commissioning the downstream emitter lines.
