Control Valve, Large

GA032

Large Control Valve.
An electrically activated valve for use on all types of garden watering systems, including Pop-Up Sprinklers, Spikesprays, Misting and Microsprays. The valve is switched on by the low voltage Timer located indoors.
Use in conjunction with the Moss Double Nut to connect directly to a tap, or create your own manifold system with multiple valves controlling different garden zones.

The exernal threads are 3/4" BSP, and the operating voltage is 24V AC.

An adjusting screw in the top enables the water flow to be restricted, which is useful if you have high pressure and a lot of water hammer.
Valve on manifold.

The valve can also be operated manually.

To turn it on manually, just unscrew the electrical solenoid sufficiently to allow the water to enter the by-pass channel. This releases water pressure from the top chamber of the valve and allows it to flow through the outlet.

To turn it off again, screw the electrical solenoid back in clockwise until it reaches the stop. Water pressure will build up in a few seconds and return the valve to its normal closed position.
