Installing a Sprinkler Valve

View Comments

• Thank you so much! This video was very helpful.

• Thank you Ben!

• I have a question: How would you remove the old valve off that has been glued in place? Also, the whole sprinkler feeding system of pvc pipes have been glued together in place, so there is nowhere where I could easily reinstall a new pvc pipe or fitting?

• Don't go to Home Depot. You will find cheaper stuff at a professional irrigation store. Rain Bird Valves Or Hunter Valves are much better than Orbit valves

• Thanks

• Thank you Ben :-)

• Warning!!! Do NOT follow these instructions!! If the Valve leaks or just plain quits working properly then the way this video show is that you will have to hack saw the two pies off and buy ne thread adapters and you will loose about 3 inches of height each time you replace the valve. Stupid idea! Oh I know that wasn't politically correct term so I will just say not a very bright idea! Get yourself two unions and two close nipples and add them between what is shown here! Thanks goodnight and good day!

• How Lazy

• Thanks. I Wish I Used The Common Sense Of Watching Your Video Instead of Listening to My Neighbor! He told me Not To Use the Teflon Tape. Result. It’s Leaking From one of the Screw In Inlets At the Bottom! So Upset Now. My Sprinklers have literally Been Chewing Up a Lot Of My PTO!! You Are Right Though. They are pretty easy to Go In but now I have another 30-45 minute trip to Lowe’s to get another 2 Screw In Adapters. The New Valve Fixed My Leaking Sprinklers Though So That Was the Positive Note. Thanks. LESSON LEARNED, DON’T LISTEN TO YOUR NEIGHBOR EVER! They Usually Know Less Than You!

• Thanks you
