Hello,I've not found a perfect fit using a solenoid valve for gravity fed irrigation system. Primarily because it requires a constant drain on the battery while the valve is open. Is there a motorized valve to fit the bill? One that momentarily requires electricity to open and close the valve at 12v DC or less to work in gravity fed system?
should not be any issue finding on your plumbing features. do only not forget approximately to deactivate and cap the line coming from the front. it is basic to apply that line with the two between the valves finding on the place you chop back and cap it.
I don't know how it specifically wires. There are two strategies for latching devices. One is a solenoid with two coils. Pulse one to open, pulse the other to close. The other strategy is to have one coil. Apply polarity in one direction to open, in the other to close. I suggest googling for latching solenoid valve, and/or checking out the major irrigation (or sprinkler) manufacturers for their offerings.
