Important Guidelines

Warning: DO NOT use pipe dope on threads, use thread seal tape

Place the manifold so that water drains away from the house

If not using culinary water, install a filter upstream of the manifold

Valve Placement

1.Select a location for the Sprinkler Valve System with the following criteria:

Accessible to water supply line

Accessible to sprinkler wire from timer

Elevated ground—avoid low areas where water will accumulate in valve box

2.Use an Orbit® valve box (not included) to protect the sprinkler valve system

3.Once a location is selected, dig a hole in the ground deep enough so

the top of the valve box will be flat and level with the surface.

Tip: Orbit® recommends placing 1" to 1 ½" of gravel below the valve box for drainage

Installation

 

 

1. Check each fitting connection to

 

 

make sure it is hand-tight.

 

 

Warning: DO NOT use wrenches,

 

 

channel locks, or other tools to

 

 

tighten fittings

 

 

2. Check to make sure that the flow

 

 

direction arrow (located on the

 

 

body of the valve) is pointed away

 

 

from the manifold

 

 

3. Connect the manifold to PVC

 

 

mainline using PVC cement

em

 

• For ¾" PVC pipe, connect

 

directly to Swivel Adapter (C)

o

 

(Figure 1)

e

 

• For 1" PVC pipe, use a Coupler

 

(H) between PVC Swivel Adapter

 

 

and pipe (Figure 2)

 

 

• For larger size mainline,

 

 

purchase and install reducer

 

 

4. Connect your Sprinkler Valve

 

 

System to your sprinkler header

 

 

lines (sprinkler lines directly after

 

 

the valve)

 

 

• For ¾" PVC pipe, connect

 

 

directly to Transition Adapter (F)

 

 

(Figure 3)

 

 

• For 1" PVC pipe, use Coupler

 

 

(H) between Transition Adapter

 

 

and pipe (Figure 4)

 

 

• For ¾" or 1" Poly Pipe, use

 

 

Poly Adapter (included in

 

 

91207/91206) and secure with

 

 

tubing clamp (Figure 5)

“Easy Wire” Connection

Note: The “Easy Wire” System should only be used on 24-Volt sprinkler timers with Class II circuits. All wiring must conform to applicable local codes.

1.Disconnect power to your sprinkler timer

2.Run sprinkler wire (use 16ga–20ga wire) from your timer to the manifold assembly

3.Remove 4"–5" of the outer

insulation of the sprinkler wire Warning: Avoid cutting into the wires inside

4.Remove 7/8"–1" of insulation from each individual wire (Figure 6)

5.Insert one wire from the valve and a colored wire from the timer into the wire nut and twist to lock the wires in the wire nut. One wire should be used for each zone with an additional wire to be used for a common (for ease of identification,

use the white wire as the common). Note: The wire should hold firm when lightly pulled. If the wire moves freely, remove the wire and repeat Step 5. (Figure 7)

6.Take the second wire from each valve and the white common wire from the timer and twist them into the wire nut (Figure 8)

7.Insert each wire nut into the corresponding cavity inside the “Easy Wire” Organizer (Figure 9)

8.Slide the “Easy Wire” Organizer onto the mounting bracket and attach to the valve manifold (Figure 10)
