INSTALLATION & OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Flush main line thoroughly before installing valves.
2. Install valve onto main line. Ensure inlet side is connected
to main line and outlet side is connected to lateral line. Note
arrow on valve indicating direction of water flow. Solenoid
should be on the downstream side of the valve.
3. NOTE: Valve is configured for globe installation. For angle
installation, remove inlet plug then thread into globe inlet.
We recommend using a closed end wrench to avoid strip-
ping any molded parts.
4. Use two wraps “Teflon Tape” along the full length of the inlet
and outlet pipe threads.
Do not use pipe thread or pipe
dope compound.
Thread inlet pipe and fitting into the inlet
port of the valve and hand tighten. Thread outlet pipe and
fitting into the outlet port of the valve and hand tighten. Do
not exceed two turns beyond hand tight.
5. Connect one solenoid wire to the controller common wire
and the other to the controller power wire. Use only water-
tight wire connectors, like RAIN BIRD ST-03.
6. After installing valves, slowly open water supply at point of
connection. Valves may discharge water momentarily, then
shut off.
7. To activate the valve using the
internal
manual bleed fea-
ture, turn the solenoid handle counter clockwise

to
3

turn
or until you hear water flowing through the valve. To close
valve, turn the solenoid handle clockwise
1
⁄
4
to
3
⁄
4
turn and
wait a moment for the valve to close. Only hand tighten the
solenoid to close the valve.
8. For automatic valve operation, turn on the controller that
has been wired to the valve according to the controller oper-
ating instructions, as controllers operate differently.
9. Use the flow control handle to adjust the amount of water
flowing through the valve. Counter clockwise turns increase
