![]() ![]() The system is now ready to be controlled electrically from the timer or manually by opening the Manual Bleed Screw. Note: The Flow Control Stem is not a positive shut-off. The valve will shut off in a few moments. Open the Flow Control Stem to adjust the sprinkler heads to desired spray coverage. ![]() Turn the Manual Bleed Screw counter-clockwise to manually open the valve (water will escape from around the Manual Bleed Screw). Test the SystemĪfter all pipe and fittings have been installed, turn the water supply on and check for leaks. ![]() When the water is turned on, the valve will remain closed. Turn the Flow Control Stem and the Manual Bleed Screw clockwise until closed. Also waterproof any splices made along the run. Use an Orbit® Grease Cap and Wire Nut at each valve connection (See Figure 3). Use standard sprinkler wire (20 gauge) for distances less than 800 feet & 18 gauge wire for over 800 feet. Attach the colored wires to the corresponding zone terminal in the timer and the common wire to the common connection in the timer. It doesn’t matter which solenoid wire you use as the common (See Figure 3). Attaching the WireĪttach a colored wire to one valve wire on the solenoid and a common wire to the other wire on the solenoid. In areas that you will be frequently digging, it is recommended you use a piece of conduit as protective covering. Run the wire to valves-usually in the same trench as the sprinkler pipe. Be sure the wire has at least one more strand than the number of valves in the manifold. Use a multicolored, multi-strand approved jacketed sprinkler wire. With the power off, connect the valves to an Orbit® Timer (or other timer that uses a UL-approved 24-volt Class 2 Transformer as a power source). Note: When using PVC Pipe, a Slip Joint Union Adapter is a good idea to make the valve easier to service in case of future modifications. Attach Sprinkler LineĪttach sprinkler lines to valve with an adapter. Valves have tapered fittings and therefore require seven to eight turns of thread seal tape to prevent leaking and to prevent the fittings from bottoming out. Note "IN" located on valve body indicates the inlet side of the valve. Installation Instructions Attach the ValvesĪfter flushing lines, install the valve to the manifold with an adapter or nipple.
