User questions & answers

Question:	Can anyone tell me what the measurement is between the input and output pipes center to center
Answer:	You can get any PH7,4 of brand solutions on Amazon or hydroponics store in your nearby area for calibration. I recommend to calibrate PH7 point solution first and calibrate ph4 point.
Question:	Will this work with the battery operated timer and 56861 solenoid
Answer:	It doesn’t fit to swimming pool water, it cannot have a correct measurement because of chemicals in the swimming pool water.
Question:	Can this valve be operated by hand instead of electric
Answer:	PH-80 comes factory calibrated to pH 7.0 and features auto-calibration to pH 4.0, 7.0 or 10.0. If you need to calibrate, you can find it from the user's guide pH calibration page. pH Calibration page reads, Turn the meter on and insert into a pH buffer solution of 4, 7 or 10. If your meter shows the correct reading, stop here. If not, press and hold the CAL button for 10 seconds. The display will flash and the temperature reading will change to a flashing 'CAL' image. Select your desired calibration level(4, 7 or 10) by clicking the UP and DOWN buttons (indicated by the arrows). The measurement will change and a small icon will indicate the value. When the number matches the solution, click ENTER. 'CAL' will flash as 'C-CA-CAL' indicating progress. Allow 5-60 seconds, do not press any buttons and if possible, do not move the meter. When the meter is calibrated, 'END' will flash and the measurement will reappear. Thanks.
Question:	What’s the difference between npt and fpt
Answer:	The 74.111371 has a smaller dial than the 74.111370 1.2" vs 1.5"

User questions & answers

Question:	Necesito una valvula que siempre este abierta y otra que siempre este cerrada esta valvula puede servir para las dos ocasiones
Answer:	The black circular thing between the valves can be turned on and off by hand, but it isn't recommended. My neighbor turned it on and off by hand frequently and never had a problem.
Question:	What is the max psi of this valve
Answer:	NPT = National Pipe Thread. FPT is just part of this category and is the female pipe thread. MPT is the male pipe thread. NPT are the standard common tapered pipe threads in the U.S. these valves have female thread to connect the piping. hence 3/4FPT for 3/4 inch pipe Female pipe thread
Question:	Just installed a new valve and it works but buzzes pretty loud when its working. Is that normal
Answer:	HI If you have finished the calibration, the measurement results in your area are basically accurate, whether it is calibrated with the supplied calibration powder or other methods. The 6.86 calibration powder is very close to your 7.0 calibration solution. It may be that the same value has some errors, so different calibration schemes may have some errors after measurement. thank you for your support Have a good day Amy

User questions & answers

Question:	Can you give more detail about hooking it up to a anti-siphon setup. I need new valves so I bought 57623 as well. How would it clip on the pipe
Answer:	The battery only specific solenoid that comes with the timer unit should be screwed into the siphon valve just as you would any other ordinary solenoid. The cable attached to the solenoid plugs into the bottom of the timer unit. The timer unit comes with a bracket type holder that clips on the timer unit. There is an opening that enables the timer unit while attached to the bracket slides onto the top of the solenoid holding the timer unit in place. Hope this answer helps you.
Question:	Can this be mounted to a rainbird valve
Answer:	The rainbird valve's solenoid may have different threads, so the solenoid from this Orbit timer would have issues threading into the top of the valve.
Question:	How do i connect this as an anti siphon valve? the inlet is straight across and i need it to be 90 degree like dig solar powered timer
Answer:	Jessica, you will need to replace your current anti-siphon solenoid with the solenoid from this timer. The timer itself should clip on the vertical section of pipe.
Question:	Can I just swap the DC solenoid onto the existing irrigation valve
Answer:	It all depends on what the existing valve is. As long as the valve is a plastic (light green) Orbit valve, it should work. I have it connected to Orbit Automatic Converter Valve (Part #57029) and it works fine. However, the DC solenoid is incompatible with the heavier duty Orbit brass bodied valves.

No Power? No Wiring? No Problem!

For most of our customers, sprinkler setup is fairly normal. But some find themselves in unique situations where traditional irrigation timers don’t work without a lot of extra expense and hassle.

Thus the Orbit battery-operated timer was born. This unique timer tackles the problems of distance or wiring restrictions while remaining a fully functional, two-program, four-station timer. This timer carries some unique attributes that set it apart.

You can detach the timer from the valve, so you can program it from anywhere, then just simply reattach it to the valve, and you're all set.

Easy Setup and Programming

The Orbit Battery Operated Sprinkler Timer brings all the programming features of Orbit’s traditional timer lineup. Nothing is left out.

The timer contains two programs (A and B) for one to four stations. Each station includes up to four start times a day, for a total of eight start times, and can be run for anywhere between 1-240 minutes. Programming frequencies can be days per week (Mon-Sun), Odd/Even, or interval (between 1-30 days).

There’s also a rain delay and water budget feature, letting you easily adjust your watering needs as the weather and seasons change. Your timer is also compatible with rain sensors, for optimal and efficient watering only when it's actually needed.

The LCD screen is easy to read, which continues Orbit’s tradition of providing timers with simple programming and use.

A Unique Timer for Unique Needs

As the name suggests, this valve is completely functional off DC battery operated current. So if you have a sprinkler box without a power outlet nearby, this is the perfect timer. Three AA (1.5V) batteries are all it takes, (batteries not included).

Perfect for Tight Spaces

The battery operation means it’s also portable and easily placed. The small footprint allows the timer to be placed inside the valve box with the optional solenoid mounting clip (included).

The timer portion detaches from the base for easy programming or storage and clips back in when ready to use. Each of the valve connections, as well as the timer itself, are sealed by a water tight O-ring. No worries about water creeping in and destroying sensitive electronics.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can you connect a rain sensor to this device
Answer:	SG, in an effort to avoid sales-y language coming from one of the two brands in question, we'll stick to the overall differences between the two controllers (and leave it to other customers to talk about their own experiences with the B-hyve):- B-hyve can be installed in indoor or outdoor settings, as opposed to Rachio being indoor-only- B-hyve comes in 6- and 12-station models, while Rachio comes in 8- and 16-station models - B-hyve is fully programmable from both the app and at the timer with buttons/screen to make any manual adjustments needed, while Rachio is programmed solely from the app with no controls/screen at the actual timer- Orbit’s B-hyve models typically retail at $100 and $120, while Rachio’s models typically retail at $200 and $250
Question:	How does the smart watering featuring obtain the weather conditions? What service does it use
Answer:	Looked on the Orbit web site, discussion board - lots posted there about this subject: seems there is lots of frustration about Orbit not providing an ETA for google home/assistant compatibility. AND, again, according to Orbit's posts - they are not sure if google home compatibility will be a software upgrade or if WE WILL HAVE TO BUY A NEW 2ND GENERATION UNIT.
Question:	How does this compare to Rachio
Answer:	This is a definite yes. You can can control one or several plugs with several devices with smart phones using the Meross app or echo devices with “Alexa commands” or google home control with “ok google commands.” The Meross app allows you to name or rename each device you control. It’s all pretty flexible.
Question:	To the manufacturer (unless someone has inside info): If and when will it be google assistant compatable? If coming soon, I would buy today
Answer:	yes. The device has its own time NTP synchronization cycle, (different devices may be different) generally does not exceed 24 hours. Otherwise it can be powered off - power on immediately

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the spacing between the inlet and the outlet, center to center
Answer:	Yes. That is my configuration
Question:	can pools of water collect in valve and freeze when valve is shut down in winter
Answer:	I am not sure what a key is but you need a timer/control to turn the valve on and off. In the center of the valve there is a cross shaped flow rate valve that adjusts the amount of water being delivered to the sprinkler heads on this circuit and thus to rough order the coverage of each head. Depending on what type of heads you selected you can tune the coverage of each head. Finally there is a knurled screw which allows you to bleed of the valve before activating the valve. Turn the screw slowly and water will start to flow around the base of that screw until the diaphragm inside the valve releases and the valve allows water to flow. This is kind of a messy step as the water flowing around the screw that you just loosened seem to always find the guy doing installation... As far as a key I am not sure what that is but a controller is needs to
Question:	What is the distance between the center of the inlet and center of the outlet
Answer:	mine came with only one 1" coupler for sprinkler main line coming into the manifold. If you are running 1" out to sprinkler heads, you need to buy extra 1" couplers (3 in this case). I think they should clarify it more instead of making customer think they provide all 1" couplers
Question:	What are the two small knobs beside the handle to manually open the valve? Can someone explain these
Answer:	Return them if they have cracks. That is not normal.

Answer:	Distance center to center is 3-3/4 inches.
Question:	What is the requirements for the power ac or dc? Cause lot timers says ac on it
Answer:	Small knob is a bleeder, Large is for flow control.
Question:	Just bought this product. The solenoid clicks when turning on and off but it does not seem to open or close the valve. Any advice
Answer:	Pressurized side: Ball valve for shut-off during servicing. Output side (after anti-siphon side), Transition union.
Question:	What is the thread size? I mean, duh its 1", but is it NPT threaded
Answer:	Yes but there will be some back flow which is what the anti-siphon valve part is for. I don’t have this exact brand but 4 of Champion brass valves that look very similar to it. I recommend that you instead get the ones with the union joint at the valve inlet, makes it much easier when maintenance is required. I have two of those valves.

Answer:	Usually the anti-syphon valve would shut off water to the sprinkler head and the pipes should have minimal amounts of water such that freezing would not be impacted. That said I would check with a plumber in the area to obtain definitive answer.

User questions & answers

Question:	What's the maximum pressure this can handle
Answer:	This can handle up to 100 psi, but we don't recommend exceeding 85.
Question:	Need timer with start, stop, frequency and duration. Reason is i want it to run only from 6am to 6pm every hour for 10 min. Does this do that
Answer:	You can add multiple start times. I do not know,or there is an upper limit to how many.
Question:	Is this the one that supports Apple HomeKit
Answer:	HomeKit compatibility promised at release at beginning of year (2018). As of June 1, 2018, still no HomeKit compatibility. Orbit needs to stop promoting the product based on HomeKit compatiblity until it actual works—and retract all those (fraudulent?) press releases online and wherever else promising HomeKit compatibility.
Question:	How does the WiFi hub connects to the timer? Is there a distance limit between them
Answer:	The timer itself has only bluetooth. The hub bridges the timer with your wifi connection. Distance should be within 50 feet if possible.

Question:	When using the 1 to 3/4 reducer, do the fittings line up with a standard 3/4 inch valve
Answer:	24VAC, not sure if it would work on 12 but work great on 24.
Question:	What’s the GPM for the 1 inch valve
Answer:	If you are going to try this make sure that you have only Irritrol parts (hard to find).

They retained the original molds for injection molded parts, however, functionally, they are not the same. In my case, everything looked the same and fit but did not work. If you are unable to replace the whole Irritrol unit, you might be better off going with another manufacturer with a complete new unit. These things are
Question:	what is the difference 57623 and
Answer:	Hi, I live in a high mountain and with snow all winter long. You can stack them but will not gain more than 2 inches per box. This is what I did. I built a box of red bricks around the water line but did not put any waight on the pipe. Put two bricks, one on one side of the pipe the other on the other side then put a brick on top. Making a tunnel for the pipe. them build it up and them put the box on top of the bricks and fill with dirt around it. As long the the water line is at 16 to 18 inches below the lid. it will be fine. In late fall I fill the inside of the box with pine needles to serve as insulation. That would do the trick.
