1" Solenoid Irrigation Valve - Male x Male

Automated irrigation-zone control

Use the valve to control a compatible irrigation zone from the appropriate controller or switching system. Size the valve and pipework for the required zone flow and available pressure, and install it in the correct flow direction.

Where flow control is provided, use it for appropriate adjustment and commissioning rather than as a substitute for correct hydraulic design.

Electrical compatibility

Confirm controller output, solenoid type and wiring requirements before connection. Do not apply an assumed voltage simply because another valve in the same irrigation system uses it.

Electrical installation in wet horticultural environments should use suitable connections and protection and should be carried out in accordance with the applicable installation requirements.

Installation & commissioning

Flush upstream pipework before final commissioning where appropriate. Install the valve with adequate access for service, support connected pipework and avoid transferring pipe strain into the valve body.

Pressurise the system gradually, check for leakage and confirm that the valve opens and closes correctly under normal controller operation.

Flow, pressure & filtration

Valve performance depends on the complete hydraulic system. Available pressure, flow demand, pipe size, elevation and downstream equipment all influence operation. Use filtration appropriate to the water source and the irrigation components being protected.

Maintenance & fault finding

If a valve fails to open, close or regulate correctly, isolate the system safely and check controller output, wiring, solenoid condition, debris, diaphragm or internal components as appropriate to the valve design. Replace damaged parts rather than forcing manual operation.
