Abstract
An improved lubricating valve for irrigation systems for automatically lubricating the turbine pump of an irrigation system when the turbine pump is running. The valve is configured to receive a pressure line from the pump and to automatically open when the pressure from the pump reaches a predetermined level indicating the pump is running and in need of lubrication. The valve also contains a manual override for manually opening the valve providing lubrication to the pump when extra lubrication is desirable, such as during preseason.
