Orbit WaterMaster Underground 51240 1/2-Inch Plastic Auto Drain Valve

Low pressure drains, they relieve me from the hassle of draining my sprinklers before winter.

I have purchased these previously and they work well. However, they put a bar code label right on the membrane. These labels have really high quality adhesive. It took a lot of effort to remove the labels without damaging the membrane. I will probably not order these again.

Bought 2 of these for 2 long drip stations. Placed them at the lowest point of each station and so far working fine. They don’t drain under pressure and the drain once the system water pressure drops - all the water in lines on the highest point drain via gravity to these drains. Thus cleaning lines and keeping them from freezing during cold mornings.

Installed this valve and it worked well...for about a week, then blew out and flooded my yard. Not looking forward to this water bill, thanks Orbit...

DIY sprinkler repairs can be tricky when parts are not in stock. This drain valve was not available in stores within 50 miles of my home. After replacing multiple valves over the past two years, I decided to replace my manifold. I found most of the parts in store, but was still in need of this drain. It was a quick install and fix into the new manifold lines. I anticipate being able to clean the drain when necessary, and keep it working well for many years to come. This seller saved the day with speedy shipping!
