Three Year Warranty
Attaching the Valves
After flushing the lines, install the valve to the PVC-Lock
®
manifold
fitting or PVC-Lock
®
fitting. The valve inlet is 1" PVC pipe, sized for
installation to 1" PVC-Lock
®
fittings or 1" PVC slip solvent weld fittings.
Note arrow for water flow direction.
Attaching Sprinkler Lines
Attach sprinkler lines to the 1" Blu-Lock
®
outlet of the valve. 1"
Polyethylene “Poly” pipe of SIDR 15 or SIDR 19 will fit the Blu-Lock
®
outlet. Both PVC-Lock
®
and Blu-Lock
®
fittings are removable with
the PVC-Lock
®
or Blu-Lock
®
removal tools, therefore no unions are
necessary.
Running the wire
With the power off, connect the valves to a Hydro-Rain
®
controller (or
other timer that uses a UL
®
approved 24 Volt Class 2 transformer as
a power source). Use a multi-colored, multi-strand jacketed sprinkler
wire. Be sure the wire has at least one more strand than the number of
valves in the manifold. Trench and run the wire to the valves. In areas
where you will be frequently digging, it is recommended that you use a
section of PVC pipe as a protective covering for the wire.
Attaching the Wire
Attach the common wire to one wire on the solenoid. Attach the zone or
hot wire to the other wire on the solenoid.
Test the System
After all pipe and fittings have been installed (allowing sufficient
time for PVC glued joints to dry—24 hours, if not using PVC-Lock
®
),
turn the water supply on and check for leaks with the valves closed.
The valves may come on momentarily while initially pressurizing the
line, but will shut off in a few moments after the air flushes out of the
system.
Open Valves
Turn the solenoid (counter-clockwise) to manually open the valve. Check
the downstream pipe and fittings for leaks. Close the valve by turning
the solenoid clock-wise until resistance increases. It may take several
seconds for the valve to shut off as the pressure builds to close the
valve. The system is now ready to be controlled electrically from the
timer.
Draining
In freezing climates, the valves and lines need to be drained. To ensure
the electric valves are completely drained, turn off the main sprinkler
shut-off valve and electrically run each valve dry for a few minutes. Turn
the timer to the “off” position until spring.
Notes:
• For outdoor use on cold water only. Valves should be placed so that
water drains away from the house. If you will not be using culinary
water, you must use a filter up-stream of the valve(s).
• All manifolds should be made of PVC-Lock
®
fittings or Schedule 40
PVC pipe and fittings. The use of Hydro-Rain’s PVC-Lock
®
Manifold
Fittings is an easy method of building an expandable yet easy to
service manifold assembly.
• Local codes specify location and type of valves required. Check local
codes for installation requirements.
• If static water pressure exceeds 80 psi (5,5 bar), a pressure regulator
should be used.
• Where possible, protect the valves with a valve box and place gravel
in the bottom.
• Pressure test all water lines and electrically test all timer connections
before covering pipe and timer control wire.
Troubleshooting
Problem
Check If
Solution
The valve will not
open
The valve is installed incorrectly
Make sure that the arrows on the valve are in the direction of water flow. Check the water
supply line for water pressure.
The valve
will not open
electronically
The wiring and timer are installed
incorrectly
Check the wiring at the valve and at the timer (refer to your timer instructions). Check to
see that the timer is working properly including the timer’s transformer, fuse (or reset
button), and programming.
There is debris in the port hole
Turn off the water. Remove the solenoid. Push a wire or large paper clip down through
the round port hole on the valve body, working it up and down to free any debris. Be sure
the O-ring is in place when reassembling the solenoid on the valve.
Defective solenoid
Turn off the water. Unscrew the solenoid and replace with one from a working valve. If
the valve now works, replace the defective solenoid. Be sure the O-ring is in place when
reassembling.
The valve will not
close
The valve is installed incorrectly
Make sure that the arrows are in the direction of the water flow.
Defective solenoid
Turn off the water. Remove the defective solenoid and replace with a new one. Be sure the
O-ring is in place when reassembling the solenoid to the valve.
Rock or debris is between the
washer and the valve seat
Turn off the water. Remove the valve lid and diaphragm assembly and clean the interior of
the valve.
Diaphragm filter is clogged
Turn off the water. Remove the lid and make sure the diaphragm hole with the scrubber
filter in it is free of debris. Move the scrubber up and down in the hole and clear any
debris.
External valve
leaks
Spigot inlet side of the valve not fully
inserted into the PVC-Lock
®
fitting
Make sure that the valve inlet fitting is inserted into the PVC-Lock
®
fitting at least 1".
Confirm that there is no damage to the PVC-Lock
®
seal or valve inlet surface that could
cause leakage.
Blu-Lock
®
pipe incorrectly installed
into the outlet
Check that the Blu-Lock
®
tubing is fully inserted to a depth of at least 1". Remove the pipe
from the Blu-Lock
®
socket and remove any debris and check the seal and pipe OD for
damage.
Pressure is too high
Install a pressure regulator upstream of the valve and set at 80 psi.
Water is leaking around screws
Turn off the water. Remove the lid and confirm that the diaphragm is correctly seated in
the bead grooves. Check for debris or damage to the valve body, lid, and diaphragm.
Leaking from solenoid to lid joint
Turn off the water. Confirm that the solenoid O-ring is not damaged or missing.
