Nice video ! Great tips

That just dumbed it down for me!

Hi if my solenoid is new and has 2 black wires how can you tell Wich one is the common? If it’s facing me is it the left or right side I’m just trying to swap over from a champion solenoid to a lawn genie type

What if they’re was too valves in the back yard instead of one?

It be nice if they built water values with built in unions. Only issue I suggest. Put union nuts closest to value. I have had a number of nuts Crack in extreme weather. This way you can easily switch out nut side of union with station. Especially in very tie spaces.

So just blatantly ignore the manufacturer's instructions on the 1/4" twist huh?

I have 2 different colored wire bundles . White for front yard and black for back yard . I cannot get the rear yard valves to turn on. I am using the white wires from both bundles ( as the common wires ). My Orbit timer has no screws, but has little plastic push tabs that rock or toggle where you can insert the wire up into a hole beneath the little plastic toggles. The wires come loose at times ! I purchased this timer 3 months ago at Home Depot. What do you recommend ? I am using Rainbird valves 3/4 inch .

Thank you

But it has provided enough flexibility for the pipes to move around! Glued stuff has much less flexibility! I think you need a 2nd thought!

What is it you have there with all those fittings. Never seen that before.

Legend! Quick and easy to follow and straight to the point, been putting off connecting the 3 solenoids in my backyard for a week or two & ready to tackle it now!👍🏼

You are absolutely confusing

Is this di-electric grease on the grease caps? Also, can I just insert wires inside the grease caps, then twist the wires or can that cause the wires to not work from the copper ends being greased. Or should I just twist the wires before inserting them inside the grease plugs and continue twisting the wires with the grease cap.

This is improper. Simple easy solution with the same result is to leave your timer on, let it cycle as normal. Water supply has been turned off and water will drain the same as he is intending. In the spring, all you do is turn water on.

Also that I hope me lot

Why do a video without a damn tripod

well then what is the good option?

OMG thank you! Ours did not come with a manual and the quick reference guide has very little detail. This was so helpful!

Thank you thank you, your video saved me $450 installers were asking me for this job.

Does it matter which of the 2 wires from the valve connect to the common wire or the zone wire?

What if I can't get the arrows to work

Best practice is to give a slight turn after pushing if in all the way and then hold it for a few seconds, I'm sure the way you showed would work fine but it's better to spread the sealant so that it's covered evenly when bonding

Great Video, building one to be above ground instead in the Ground.

does it matter which of the red wires from the valves goes to the white common wire, the solenoid has on/off on the top and i assume each of the wires is for that specific function

Can you cut the funny pipe, and connect it to more funny pipe to make it longer?? I’m Moving a sprinkler head now and just need more distance

Where is the other video where u run a separate set of wiring that u refer to at start of this video

Where can I get the app?

Ratchet cutters are notorious for cracking existing / older PVC and CPVC pipes. Some instead use a pipe / tube cutter with an enclosed metal cutting wheel (generally used for copper pipe), scoring the plastic pipe initially, and then tightening the tool grip several times by turning the cutter handle, after the grip becomes looser with a couple of revolutions of the tool. The pipe cutter with the metal wheel is thought to apply less force on the older pipe and is said to generally give a clean cut.

Where can you purchase Unions, Home Depot said they didn’t have them

Mister pressure relief valve, there great at the end of the line on my patio misting system in the winter time to prevent pipe from cracking, you can use this little brass fitting at the end of the main water line of your manifold or do what I did and put it at the lowest point of your pvc line and watch it piss out when timer turns off. Just seems to be such a waste of water. Figuring way to reuse water and pump back to plants

That’s why I keep it in her longer so I don’t get pushed back

You can use schedule 40 and schedule 80 gray together

Wait a minute he’s using ABS cement. The primer sounds right and looks right but it’s supposed to be PVC cement not ABS he’s working with PVC not ABS. Did I miss something?

Is 16 AWG "marine wire" good for sprinklers? Wasn't sure if all 16 AWG wire are created equal. Thank you!

so one wire from all valves goes to the common and the other wires get a different wire? does the color matter ?

question why do they pu metal pipes for the preventor ?

Nice video. Informative, no annoying background music, to the point with pertinent details included. Thanks!

Is there anyway that you can release your app for android? I can't seem to find a working version for android, only iphone, and it seems like it would be very useful.

Was wondering when irrigation was going to start using unions?

Why not use a 2 valve manifold?

That's when the customer wants it done cheaper

you connected 3 wires? what was that other black wire?

Can be used only in sprinkler systems depending how many sprinkler heads in each zone loses pressure. After the valve closes, it loses pressure and heads retreat no pressure. Doesn't stress this type of coupling compression. I really don't recommend using the direct line to the house. Definitely will fail in days.

bro keep your box clean!! :)

Congratulations now you have flow restriction on that head

i always put vaseline on the threads they go in all the way and tape aint needed

why r plumbers always depressed

Great video, very informative !

👍🐔

No way. Even if "designed to drain" any water that freezes will crack the system. Maybe this guy has no issue but good luck following this advice
