Irrigation control valves

2008-10-20 14:27:49.784006+02 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Dear Irritrol and Orbit, do either of you make a 1" anti-siphon valve that doesn't leak and drip? Two of the four Irritrols I've got do, and while I commend Orbit for building a manifold with 3 valves up, I'm getting dribbles from one of them, and at least one of the other temporarily turns on when the pressure changes, like when I kick on the hose.

Other than that, the irrigation system in the back needs me to crawl under the house and run one more wire (more valves in the back than I'd planned on) and back-filling. And enough time for this nasty blue PVC glue to scrape off my hands.
