Oh my gosh, thank you!! I just moved into a new house and after turning on the irrigation system I received a $600 water bill due to leaky valve. Before I watched your video I had no idea what kind of valve I even had, let alone how to fix it. I really appreciate you!

Great video please note the valve in the video is the 260 not the 264. Link to Amazon is for the smaller 264 not the one in the video

Yeap you're right! I clicked on the Amazon link and it went to the 3/4 valve. Nice catch. I'll fix that. Very much appreciated.

Excellent video. Another tip: Either purchase another O-Ring from the parts store or make sure to keep the O-ring from the old solenoid. When purchasing a new solenoid from Toro (parts store) an O-ring does NOT come with the solenoid. If you replace the old solenoid with the new one - and forget to put the O-ring back on - the solenoid will leak, causing you to invent words which may not have been in your vocabulary prior to the project.

very helpful. thanks for uploading. my toro hydraulic control valve is very similar. however it uses vacuum from the irrigation pump housing to turn the toro valve on & off. my toro valve sits on top of my irrigation pump housing & a small vacuum tube runs from the pump housing up to the toro valve. the inside guts of my toro valve are the same as your toro solenoid valve you've shown here.

I have a Toro 250 01-04. Parts look to be in good shape, perhaps there was some debris preventing proper operation. I have 10 zones so picked up some spare parts and valve to have on hand anyway.

Really helpful. I took mine apart and put it back together and the lowest sprinkler controlled by that valve still leaks. What I noticed from the video is that the two valves I took apart really don't have any kind of spring action in the solenoid damper. Can that spring be replaced or should I buy a whole new solenoid?
@houseandgardenprojects5394
@houseandgardenprojects5394 5 жыл бұрын
The springs in these solenoids really don't have a lot of action to them. What I do when I continue to have a problem is to buy a whole new valve. This way I replace the whole top with the new solenoid and replace the diaphragm. If it still leaks (and some times it does) you need to replace the whole valve. It can be a pain. You will have to dig out the pipe going to the valve. Cut it and replace the valve and re-glue the pipe back on. Hope I helped. Good Luck!

really good idea whenever dealing with plastic and screws, During reassembly, start by turning screw the wrong way and feel for the "click" when it jumps te thread end. THEN gently start turning in the right way to tighten. It takes just a second and you minimize the risk of stripping the valve body screw hole.

Hey Gaspar, Thanks for the kind words. This valve is not so easy to find. Lowes or Home Depot will probably not have it. You need to go to a sprinkler store. Or check this our here's the valve on Amazon If I were you I'd just go ahead and buy the whole valve. It's actually cheaper than buying all the parts separately houseandgardenprojects.com/264-Toro-Valve This link will take you straight to Amazon. Hope this helps.

Hello great video what are the small wires running with the solenoid wires? What do they do?
@houseandgardenprojects5394
@houseandgardenprojects5394 5 жыл бұрын
I assume you're talking about the colored wires? They go to the sprinkler clock. Thanks for the question. I hope that helps.

This video is 6 years old but is that part store still in business and if so what is the name of it?
@houseandgardenprojects5394
@houseandgardenprojects5394 3 жыл бұрын
The store is do-it-yourself sprinklers. I've been wondering how they are over there. I haven't been in the store since before covid. So I don't know if they're still open. I just tried their phone number and it's no longer in service. They've had the same number for 40 years. I'm not really doing sprinkler work anymore. So I don't need to buy sprinkler parts anymore. They are still mentioned on yelp so you can google do it yourself sprinklers in Las Vegas and get their phone number and address. Are you in Las Vegas?

I'm trying to find the parts, but it seems like its cheaper to buy the whole valve assembly and just replace the top end. Anyone else deal with this?
@houseandgardenprojects5394
@houseandgardenprojects5394 4 жыл бұрын
It depends on what parts you need. Just the diaphragm is available and is cheaper than the whole valve. But if you have to replace the diaphragm and the solenoid It's probably cheaper to buy the whole valve. When I made this video I bought the whole valve. Just the time savings alone by not making two trips can make it worth it. It may well save you a trip.
