what is the minimum water pressure need to operate this valve?

just googled Delta faucet FAQ on water pressure and hit each question on pressure to view response.

The manual states a minimum psi to use which I believe is 1800psi. I use a electric 1600psi pressure washer and works just fine.

Carmen,If you mean "direct" as to mean a line with 50# to 60# of pressure then I don't really know what you would need. I am quite certain that these waters need low pressure. You could rig up a tank/bucket that has a float valve from a pressurized source then have the your pipe plumbed from that tank. FYI-A five gallon bucket of water will water 4-5 chickens for about a week. Wish I had a better solution for you.

I'm not sure how low the pressure can be, however it can't exceed 60psi. This was not stated on Amazon but rather on the filter itself

Yes, but you should consider your flow requirements when the valve is open. It's only a 3/4" valve, so there could be unacceptable pressure drop with high flow rates such as if you use it to control water to your entire house. The supplier may be able to provide a chart of pressure drop vs flow rate, or another Amazon user may have insight into this. My application doesn't require high flow.

I see no minimum, but the instruction booklet says there is a maximum of 60 psi.

This uses a standard 1/4" male pipe thread and must have full pressure to work.This will not work on a regulated low pressure output.

1. a traditional drip system is regulated to between 10 and 30 psi with most regulators at around 15-20 psi. This hose is probably best run at about 30 psi max. True Water pressure measurements are a little more complicated (static vs dynamic) and depend on flow rates, other parameters, but the bottom line is that this hose can be used with a drip regulator or by closing the hose bibb about halfway. I bought three, at one point all were subjected to full water pressure (90 psi). Two of the three failed. These hoses are nice because they are more flexible than the recycled rubber versions but the cost and failure rate caused me to switch to the recycled rubber versions. Without a regulator, you might accidentally turn them up too high.

I'm Not An Expert, But I Would Imagine You Would Need A Pressure Regulator. Also, When I Wrote This On My Phone It Did All This Weird Capitalization.

Pneumatic inlet pressure required for operation is as follows: min (40 psig) up to max (150 psig).

I don't have a gauge to know how low but I am pretty sure you can get it below 5 psi. Works close to a need valve.

Yes, but you need to have the right kind of pressure regulator. To high of a pressure and the valve won't open when you turn on the water. This is a great little unit.

I agree it has to be lower than 40 psi. Probably between 20 and 30 PSA it is designed to protect the pump if the water supply dries up.

There is a check valve though just a ball with a spring holding pressure on it dont know how much pressure it would take but I don't have any pressure in my system when unhooking just the pressure in the feed hose

That depends upon water pressure; about 80psi is about right...nuf said. And what is a restrictor?

The bottom line is going to be water pressure. I use it with a booster pump

I have no idea what flow restriction diameter is but if you try to do this off of a water utility I don't think you will have enough pressure.
