12.1 WIRING OF VALVE SOLENOIDS TO RSCB
The solenoid conduit hubs should be
positioned to allow the conduit to be
efficiently routed to the RSCB.
Loosening the 11/8” Hex nut on top of
the solenoid rotates the hubs.
§
Then turn the hub.
§
Loosen the nut a half turn, position
the hub, and then re-tighten.
When wiring the solenoids into the
RSCB junction box, the wires may have
to be spliced in order to reach the
appropriate terminal strip location.
Use stranded 18 GA wire.
It is recommended that red wire be used
for main connections, though black can
be used as a substitute.
Green 18 GA stranded wire should be
used for the case ground.
Use an in-line twist solder splice
(Western Union style splice). Stagger
the splice to make the wires easy to pull.
Leave a small amount of excess wire to
allow for future servicing of the junction
box wiring. Secure the excess wire with
wire ties.
