DASASVF075

These Rain Bird sprinkler valves are good quality. I installed 4 of the 1” valves several years ago in my front yard. They work like new to this day. No leaks, no failures, no noise. I just bought 4 more identical 3/4” valves to replace leaking Toro valves in the back yard. I chose these Rain Bird valves here on Amazon for the following reasons: 1. The price is about $10 less than Home Depot. 2. The valves are rated up to 150 PSI of water pressure. Cheaper valves are only rated at 75 or 80 PSI. 3. Rain Bird offers rebuild kits for these valves. 4. I’ve had no problems with the 1” valves in the front yard after years of use. I did notice that these are a frequently returned item on Amazon. Only explanation I can think of is the wrong type of valve or the wrong size was ordered. There were reviews that complained of failures and leakage. That has not been my experience after years of use. One explanation could be high water pressure. Rain Bird rates them as high as 150 PSI but recommends to keep pressure below 80 PSI. I’m guessing prolonged high water pressure will cause leakage and failure. Another explanation could be hard water leaving deposits in the valves. I highly recommend these Rain Bird Sprinkler Valves. No, I have no affiliation with Rain Bird or Amazon Vine. I did not receive free valves or get paid for this review. I just appreciate honest and detailed reviews so I reciprocate.

Quality product. Built really well. Would definitely buy again

I purchased this to replace a 23-year-old valve that I initially thought had failed. To my surprise—and relief—it fit perfectly with the original base that’s been in place for over two decades. Later, I discovered the old valve still worked, but I’m glad to have a fresh replacement on hand. This new valve is a true drop-in solution, requiring no modifications. One thing I noticed right away was the sound—it was noticeably louder at first. However, it’s quieted down over time, likely just needing a bit of break-in. Overall, I’m hopeful this new valve will prove just as durable as the original.

Works as intended. Only used one season so I can’t speak on longevity.

This was just what I needed when I found the old one was cracked.

Worked good thank you

Very happy. Easy install. I must admit that I have sprinklers up on a hill, much higher than the valve. And yes, at shutoff, the water in the sprinkler line does flow downhill and exits thru the anti-siphon cap (as expected). That is exactly what is to happen. Internally, with no supply line pressure, a plunger drops to prevent the water in the sprinkler line from flowing back into the valve (that's what anti-siphon means). So, it drops the water overboard through the cap. However, in my application, running up hill, that's a lot of water dumping overboard next to the house. So, I removed the anti-siphon cap and glued the the plunger against the top of the cap. Now all that water doesn't leak out and stays in the sprinkler line (I'm not in a freeze area). I have had no negative consequences. I also had to cut the old timer control wires back a few inches and clean the copper. No problem with automatic operation.

Perfect fit that replaced an older model. Very easy to install and worked perfectly with factory settings. This one came with a controlled top which was not on older models. Very helpful to manually start up for testing,

Works well but not abundantly clear that the valves MUST be higher than the highest sprinkler head on the zone, otherwise all the water in that zone backflows through the valve into your pit or wherever you mounted the valve.

Buen producto de buena calidad

Semble être de bonne qualité et remplace une vieille valve du même modèle qui datait de 25 ans. Reste à voir si elle va durer aussi longtemps.
