Installing the Valve Installing the Valve Installing the Valve After flushing line, install the valve using appropriate fittings (not included) for your system (see figure below). DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. Do not use pipe joining compound. Use thread seal tape only. Note arrow on valve for water flow direction. Valves have tapered fittings and therefore require seven to eight turns of thread seal tape to prevent leaking and to guard against the connections bottoming out. To prevent possible leaking, make sure that the valve, fittings and pipe are properly aligned. Hose Poly

PVC Test the System Cautions After all pipe and fittings have been installed, turn the water supply on and check for leaks with the valve closed.

• Check local codes for valve types and permit information. The system is now ready to be controlled electrically from the timer or manually by opening the manual lever/screw. Draining In freezing areas, the valves and lines will need to be drained. Refer to the Orbit® Layout Guide or local dealer to recommend proper drain points. To insure the electric valve is completely drained in the fall, turn off the main sprinkler shutoff valve and electrically run each valve dry for a few minutes. Turn timer to the OFF position.

• If static water pressure exceeds 80 psi, a pressure regulator should be used.
• For outdoor use with cold water only. Not for indoor use. Place valves so they drain away from the house. Notes
• Where possible, always protect valves with an Orbit® Valve Box and place gravel in the bottom.
• Test all lines and fittings before burying the system.
• Use a filter if you will not be using culinary water in your system.
