Superior 100 Series 2" Brass Normally Open Hydraulic Valve
The Superior 100200 is the 2-inch size of Superior’s
100 Series brass hydraulic in-line valve. It is a normally open
hydraulic valve — it stays open until a hydraulic command line closes it
— built in red brass for commercial and agricultural irrigation mains
that still run hydraulic control instead of 24 VAC solenoids.

How This Valve Works
Hydraulic tubing from a hydraulic controller or remote pressurizes the
bonnet to close the valve. When that command pressure is released, the
normally-open 100 Series returns to open and flow resumes. This is not an
electric 950 / ICV-style solenoid valve and it is not a Superior 3100 master
valve.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Superior 100200 an electric solenoid valve?
No. Superior 100200 is a brass hydraulic valve. It is controlled by
hydraulic tubing, not a 24 VAC solenoid. If you need an electric in-line
brass valve, look at Superior 950 Series instead.
What does normally open mean on the Superior 100 Series?
Normally open means the 2" 100200 stays open and passing water until
hydraulic command pressure closes it. That is the opposite of a typical
electric irrigation valve, which sits closed until the solenoid is energized.
What size is Superior 100200?
100200 is the 2-inch FIPT in-line body. Superior also makes the 100 Series in
3/4" (100075), 1" (100100), 1-1/4" (100125), 1-1/2"
(100150), 2-1/2" (100250), and 3" (100300).
What pressure and flow does the 2" Superior 100 handle?
The 100 Series is rated 20 to 200 PSI. Series flow is 5 to 320 GPM; Superior
publishes 2" pressure-loss figures from 40 GPM (0.5 PSI) through 200 GPM
(13.9 PSI).
