Manual Valves Sprinkler Warehouse offers manual valves in angle, in-line and anti-siphon configurations. When you don’t need an automatic valve, manual valves offer long-lasting durability. Straight valves effectively regulate water supply for irrigation use with full size water ways for low pressure loss. Straight valves can be converted to automatic operation with an add-on actuator. Angle valves are available in standard floating washer or the 'RS' models, which feature a rising swivel seat washer. Champion 100RS-100-C Manual Straight Valve-Yellow Brass 1' in. Champion Valves can provide you with a professional irrigation installation without the need of the professional. Saving money on pipe is a big desire of most irrigation installers. Inline valves can also save you money on testing your backflow device because it is included inside of the valve. Some sprinkler systems have a remote control, making it possible to open or close valves from anywhere in the yard. Turn off the main valve that controls water to all the sprinkler valves if you.
If your sprinkler timer has failed, or there is an issue with the wiring, it is still possible to turn on the sprinkler zone manually, by opening the valve with your hands.
This way you don’t have to run back and forth between the timer/controller and the zone you are watering.
Opening the valve manually is very useful if you are checking out a sprinkler system. This is because you can open a sprinkler valve without using the sprinkler timer. This is a huge time saver, especially if the timer happens to be in the basement, in the garage, or another room in the house. This way you don’t have to run back and forth between the timer/controller and the zone you are watering. If you have multiple valves in a manifold, you can open them all in a single location.
There are 2 simple methods to open the valve manually:

1. Open the Manual Bleed Screw

The first way to open this valve is to open the manual bleed screw. You will notice that the manual bleed screw is located towards the back of the valve near the flow control. To open the valve manually, twist the manual bleed screw counter-clockwise until the valve opens. It usually doesn’t need to be more than one-half turn. To close the valve turn the manual bleed screw clockwise until the valve closes. Note: opening the manual bleed screw will cause water to leak out, this is normal, and there is no reason to be alarmed.
2. Turn the Solenoid

The second way to open the valve is to grasp the solenoid (the black cylinder with the wires attached to it) and turn it approximately one-quarter turn counter-clockwise until the valve opens. To close the valve, turn the solenoid clockwise until the valve closes. This is the method that many prefer because most times when you open the manual bleed screw, it causes water to leak out into the valve box. If the valve is left on for any period of time, it can start filling the valve box with water. Usually opening the valve by twisting the solenoid doesn’t leak water into the valve box.
So the next time your sprinkler system is not working correctly, and you need to apply water, try operating the zone valve manually.
