Rain Bird CPF075 In-Line Automatic Sprinkler Valve with Flow Control, 3/4" Threaded Female x Female

My old valve from DIG was leaking and rats had chewed the wires. I bought this and replace in five minutes. It seems very nice, secure and watertight. Rainbird is Great. I did put some gorilla tape on the wires to disuade the rats (maybe squirrels), but need to add some other deterrent.

Works great

Worked perfectly

I have 2 sets of 4 of the Rain Bird sprinkler valves and the Rain Bird flow back valve. The units are made well and should last me a long time. I gave them a 4 start with a 2 star for install due to the wires. The instructions state to wire the Common into the common lug of your control. The issue being that no place on the body, the wires nor even in the metal of the wire do they indicate common. Now if they have changed the internal board to allow either wire to act as the common fantastic. But they should indicate that both in the instructions and on the unit. For my system as depicted in the pictures, the left wire is Common for all my valves and Anti-siphon valve and it works just fine. But it should not be left up to the end user to question which wire is which.

Utilizing this valve to control some soaker hose I have in a garden bed. I got threaded fittings to go from the npt thread to garden hose thread and affixed unit to my hose bib. Then ran a length of hose out to gardens bed where it connects to soaker hose. Bought a 24vac transformer that plugged into a zwave controlled outlet, ran some thermostat wire from transformer to valves, water proof wired nuts and viola! I have a zwave controlled valve so I can water plants remotely and even setup a timed scene. I do need to keep hose bib on but that's not a big deal. I do want to get a backflow preventer installed for the hose bib. But valve has been working great so far (2 months now) and I like how I can adjust flow on valve.

I have used these as replacements in my sprinkler system as like anything else they wear out ( rubber diaphragm). . You can replace the top part and it fits onto the lower body of the valve after removing the screws. Redoing the pipes connected to the lower valve is a time consuming job and is rarely necessary. This replaced an old valve too that is 35 years old

Could not find this model at the local hardware store, or in stock at Home Depot or Lowe's. Received it in one day! ... and was able to stop my constant leak with replacement of the top of this unit in a matter of minutes.

Great does not leak like others, have used for more than 2 years with no issues. Other brands and models have not lasted 6 months.

ممتاز
