What is an Irrigation Master Valve? When consider installing irrigation system, you might want to consider a master valve. A master valve is an electric valve installed at the supply point which controls water flow into the main piping system. When this valve is closed water will not be supplied to the irrigation system. A master valve will greatly reduce any water loss due to a leaky station valve because the leaky station valve can only leak while the master valve is providing pressure to the system.

- Station (Watering Station) - An area where the watering (irrigation) is all controlled by a single control valve. Valve (Watering or Irrigation Valve) - Used in conjunction with sprinkler timers – a convenient way to deliver water to lawns, plants and gardens. Watering Program-See Program (A or B).raining In freezing areas, the valves and lines will need to be drained. Refer to the Orbit ® Layout Guide or local dealer to recommend proper drain points. To insure the electric valve is completely drained in the fall, turn off the main sprinkler shut-off valve and electrically run each valve dry for a few minutes.

- Control valves control the flow of water in an. automatic fire sprinkler system. Therefore, it is. critical they remain open to allow water flow to the. sprinklers. According to the NFPA, closed valves are. the main cause of sprinkler system failure. There will. likely be several control valves located throughout. your system that separate the system into designated.

A Better Lawn on Less Water What is an Irrigation Zone? An automatic, underground irrigation system typically waters the landscape in small, separate areas called zones. The water to each irrigation zone goes through its own electrically operated valve. A buried signal wire runs from the irrigation controller to each valve. What Day(s) to Water

Types of Irrigation Valves Lawn sprinkler systems may be manual or automatic. Automatic lawn sprinkler systems consist of the controller / timer, the sprinkler valves, the pipes, and the lawn sprinklers. Each valve controls a different zone, or area, of the lawn sprinkler system. The controller sends electric low voltage (24 volt AC) signals to the valves, telling them to open or close.

Valves in Irrigation Systems 1 Control Valves. A combination of a valve and an actuator is usually referred to as a control valve. The system which provides automatic control of flow consists of a valve, a valve actuator, and a sensing device. Two types of controllers and actuators commonly used in irrigation are electric and hydraulic. Globe and angle valves are commonly adapted for automatic control due to the tight shutoff of these valves.

Tap (valve) Water and gas taps have adjustable flow: gate valves are more progressive; ball valves more coarse, typically used in on-off applications. Turning a valve knob or lever sets adjusts flow by varying the aperture of the control device in the valve assembly. The result when opened in any degree is a choked flow.

Installing a Pressure or Flow Switch to Protect your Irrigation System A master valve is a single valve located at the water source that can shut off all the flow of water into the irrigation system. For more details see my article on master valves. On systems with a pump you will probably want to shut off the pump.. Make sure you have a really good quality spring-loaded check valve on the irrigation mainline pipe. The check valve goes someplace after the pump, but before the pressure switch. A good quality check valve is needed to keep the water from leaking backwards out of the system through the pump.

Floodgate Valves used in floodgate applications have a variety of design requirements and are usually located at the base of dams. Often, the most important requirement (besides regulating flow) is energy dissipation. Since water is very heavy, it exits the base of a dam with the enormous force of water pushing from above. Fixed cone valves are designed to dissipate the energy from a water flow during reservoir discharge. 2  They are a round pipe section with an adjustable sleeve gate and cone at the discharge end. 3  Flow is varied by moving the sleeve away or towards its cone seat.
