How do you wire a sprinkler timer to a control valve?
From the valves, run pipe through trenches to the sprinkler heads. Use low-voltage insulated cable approved for burial (usually AWG-14 or -18) to connect the timer to the control valves. You will need multi-strand wire with enough wires for each valve plus one more to connect the valves to the timer.
How do you connect a sprinkler system to the water line?
Connect the main water line to the timer and control valves. Your sprinkler system will come with several control valves and a timer to control when the heads turn on and off. Use PVC funny pipe and the appropriate fittings to connect the main line to the control manifold.
How to install a sprinkler head on PVC pipe?
Then, attach the risers to the PVC pipe by threading them in place. Before you install the riser, make sure the terminal fitting is the correct thread size for the head. Connect the main water line to the timer and control valves. Your sprinkler system will come with several control valves and a timer to control when the heads turn on and off.
How do I connect my sprinkler system to my manifold?
Your sprinkler system will come with several control valves and a timer to control when the heads turn on and off. Use PVC funny pipe and the appropriate fittings to connect the main line to the control manifold. “Manifold” is the commonly-used term that describes several valves that are grouped together.
How do you wire a sprinkler timer?
From the valves, run pipe through trenches to the sprinkler heads. Wiring Sprinkler Control Valves Use low-voltage insulated cable approved for burial (usually AWG-14 or -18) to connect the timer to the control valves. You will need multi-strand wire with enough wires for each valve plus one more to connect the valves to the timer.
How do you Power a sprinkler valve?
The valves are powered by low-voltage wires running from the controller and do not require any specialized electrical knowledge to install. Strip 1/2 inch of the protective plastic covering off the end of the white sprinkler wire and one of the colored wires.
How do you wire an irrigation system to a controller?
Use color-coded irrigation wire to connect the valves to the controller. The total number of wires you need is one for each of the electric valves, plus one common wire. If you are wiring a 5-zone system, purchase a combination of wires with at least 6 total wires long enough to reach from your controller to the farthest valve. 3.
How many wires do I need for a sprinkler system?
Use color-coded irrigation wire to connect the valves to the controller. The total number of wires you need is one for each of the electric valves, plus one common wire. If you are wiring a 5-zone system, purchase a combination of wires with at least 6 total wires long enough to reach from your controller to the farthest valve.
What is a sprinkler valve manifold?
The manifold is where the water from the main supply line gets diverted to separate zones using the sprinkler valves. A valve manifold will usually have a water supply coming in and a few branches where valves are attached.
How do you connect a sprinkler system to the water line?
Connect the main water line to the timer and control valves. Your sprinkler system will come with several control valves and a timer to control when the heads turn on and off. Use PVC funny pipe and the appropriate fittings to connect the main line to the control manifold.
How to install a sprinkler head on PVC pipe?
Then, attach the risers to the PVC pipe by threading them in place. Before you install the riser, make sure the terminal fitting is the correct thread size for the head. Connect the main water line to the timer and control valves. Your sprinkler system will come with several control valves and a timer to control when the heads turn on and off.
How do you install shut off valves on a sprinkler system?
Install a shutoff valve just prior to the control valves. The valves are simply put together with threaded parts; you do not have to glue them. From the valves, run Schedule 80 PVC pipe, starting with a threaded piece down into the trench for the pipe runs to the sprinkler head.
