  • Installing lawn irrigation: Valve box, Hunter solenoid valves and Rain Bird water distribution in detail

    Lawn irrigation system components, including pipes, valves, and wiring, are laid out on the ground next to an open valve box in a grassy area. A green garden hose and plastic cover are also visible. www.commaik.de

    Efficient lawn irrigation starts with a well-planned valve box, which forms the heart of the entire garden irrigation system. In this article, I will show you how I set up my valve box, selected the right components and optimized the water distribution. This involves installing the manifold, connecting the Hunter solenoid valves and laying the pipes safely. I also explain why I rely on a modular design so that the system can be flexibly expanded at any time. All the details on material selection, pressure resistance and optimum connection technology can be found here.
