XAG FBV5 Smart Electric Valve Body (L-Port) is a multi-channel 5-way ball valve with an L-shaped flow configuration, designed for water flow management in complex irrigation systems within the XAG Smart Farm ecosystem.

The valve works exclusively with the FBV5i or FBV5e controller, forming an intelligent irrigation control unit.

Key Functions

- Water flow switching between multiple channels (up to 4 directions)
- Zone-based irrigation management (sequential supply)
- Operation in automatic irrigation scenarios
- Integration into the XAG Smart Farm IoT ecosystem
- Data transmission (pressure, status, history, together with the controller)

Construction

- Type: multi-channel ball valve (5-way, L-Port)
- Configuration: 1 inlet, up to 4 outlets
- Top interface for controller mounting
- Connection: threaded or PVC glue type
- Housing material: UPVC (high resistance to corrosion and chemical exposure)

How It Works

The L-Port in FBV5 means the valve has an L-shaped channel and flow is directed to only one outlet at a time. Switching is performed by an electric actuator via the controller. This allows sequential water supply to different zones and avoids flow mixing.

Technical Specifications

- Valve type: 5-way ball valve (L-Port)
- Compatibility: FBV5i / FBV5e controllers
- Connection diameters: 75 / 90 / 110 mm
- Integration: XAG Smart Farm (IoT)
- Operating modes: automatic / manual
- Connectivity: Bluetooth + Wi-Fi (via controller)
- Protection: up to IP66 (as part of the system)

Use Cases

- Multi-zone irrigation of large fields
- Fertigation (water and fertilizer distribution)
- Management of multiple irrigation lines
- Water consumption optimization

Application

- Automation of complex irrigation systems
- Multi-channel flow management
- Digitalization of agricultural production
- Integration into smart farming

Important Note

The FBV5 Valve Body is the mechanical valve only. Operation requires the FBV5i or FBV5e controller, which provides control and system connectivity.
