Really liked the video...well done and instructive. The music, not so much.

What a great, to the point video. Perfect for us here in California that use above ground valves exactly like these. Most other videos show buried valves or other unfamiliar valves from here on the west coast. Thanks for making this how-to video. It was the exact demo I was searching for.

The rotation of the tape should be clockwise

Nice job ... especially with the guitar sting synching up with the sprinkler riser popping up.

1:41 seconds was enough... Wrapping the teflon tape backwards on the threads was a stopping point for me, LOL.

Thank you, Vince. You just saved me $$$.

Please let us know more about the "coupling connection". I can't seem to find them...

This video popped up and funny thing is I’m replacing the exact same valve and also have the exact replacement as in the video.

what is the part that connect to the coupling connector? execellent presentation. That is what I am looking for. Thank you for the video.

Eselente gracias

Noob question, but the 3/4 union will withstand the constant pressure of the water?

Thanks for the comments, everyone. We are glad that you appreciate this brief how-to video. I wanted to share a few behind-the-scenes takeaways: Valves are easy to replace and don’t delay your repairs. When this valve broke, it caused the drip zone it was hooked up to leak 24/7, and it ended up drowning and killing a plum tree. Some of you pointed out that I filmed and applied the plumbers tape incorrectly. I apologize. I did not get footage of applying the tape correctly, which is clockwise around the threads. This video did not show that I had to uninstall the valve and reinstall it by running the tape clockwise to get the connections to seal. Thank you everyone who noticed this. Finally, if there is another how-to that you would like to see, please drop us a comment and let us know!

Orrrr mehhhh gerrrrsh, it was mahhhh vaaaalverrrr... thaaaas wuzzzz sewwwww hellllpfulllll!!! thaaank yerrrr! Or meh gersh!!!

Does the above ground connection and wiring differ from the under ground in a box set up ?

What is the connector coupling actually called? Trying to find one online for my husband.

love the instructions - super helpful - music not helpful at all.

Why are the top PVC grey?

Thanks bro

Where can i buy those screw on couplings? What is the real coupling name?

I've used those coupling connectors and was not hugely impressed. To get them to not leak sometimes took enough torque to break them. AND after a few years in the sun (or underground) they will be even more brittle.

So what side is the water supply coming from.

Maybe it’s just me, but why does the music dominate the voiceover work? Don’t you want us to hear what it is that you’re saying? This is a weak point in so many videos that I watch on KZfaq. Someone needs to be looking out for the interest of the video producers. But, the people who produced the work should watch their own videos and decided they like how it sounds. I think of you listen back to this video you would wonder why you can’t hear yourself that well

Teflon was applied incorrectly. Big no no.

Those couplings are trash. Never use them. I’ve been doing this same stuff for over 15 years and I’m always changing those out because they leak after a few years. Best to just use slip, slip couplings and glue in new pipe. If need be, add a lil more pipe so in the future if you need to replace, you have enough room to cut and replace valves again. Also never use that crap sprinkler head in video. They are also trash an I’m always replacing them for clients as well. New technology is always better. Remember that

What should have been a good video was ruined with background music.

This video would be perfect if it weren't for the very annoying and distracting TERRIBLE music that is playing far too loudly.
