Orbit 1 in. FPT 100 Series Anti-Siphon Valve with Flow Control - 57624

Works same as my others from big box store, cost less

Orbit is the best

I buy these when upgrading customers valves. Cheap and they work. But one blew the diaphragm after a month, sprinkler line ran for two days before caught. Another one has a buzzing noise in the solenoid. But when there work the work.

Easy to install. No more leaky sprinklers.

Good Price

This valve had wonky threads on one side of the valve. The MPT/slip-nut adapter did not screw in very far without the threads binding. I tried different adapters and also reversed the adapters left to right to no avail. I believe the product was defective but installed it and of course, the side that was wonky leaked. I've never had this kind of problem with Orbit valves before and since I already installed it, I cannot return it so am forced to buy another one and start again.

Replacement valve for sprinkler system. Working well past couple of months

I just bought it to have around in case something went wrong with one of my others.

Replaced 12+ years old valves. These should last just as long, if not longer. The spacing between inlet and outlet is a bit shorter than my old valves. I had to heat the outlet pipe (thinner than inlet pipe which is schedule 40 PVC) it bent just enough to make up difference. These have anti-siphon feature so water does not go back into house water pipe. The solenoid is also much easier to turn. They have a little lever to make it a no brainer even for me. By the way, I did take one of the old valves apart as some videos suggest I could simply wash the innards, maybe replace the diaphragm inside. It looks easier on video than reality. I broke a tiny thing off. Thrn finding replacement diaphragm is a dice roll and nearly as expensive as getting brand new valves. So I went with nee valves. A couple days to receive them. An hour or so, for me, to swap 4x old with new ones. Done. A good purchase.

Good I liked
