Sprinkler Valve "No Cut" Fix
Рет қаралды 34,199
4 жыл бұрынAverage Joes Jim's Home Projects does projects and maintenance at home, that even an Average Joe can accomplish. In this episode, Jim shows how to fix a Rain Bird sprinkler valve without having to cut any PVC. Rain Bird valves have a very simple construction to them that allows you to replace the entire top half and inner workings, while reusing the lower half that has been glued into your irrigation pipes. All this can be done with a few simple tools, and a new valve of the same kind and type as the one you have. Here's Amazon Affiliate links to parts and tools:
Rain Bird Sprinkler Valve: amzn.to/2T5xRtV
Phillips Head Screwdriver: amzn.to/2LwKs4V
Irrigation Wire Nuts: amzn.to/2X1Ra8m
Orbit B-Hyve WiFi Automatic Sprinkler Timer: amzn.to/2WweJav

Thank you for posting this video showing the "no cut" method. My old Lawn Genie valve was leaking and running nonstop - couldn't turn it off at the control panel - so I shut the water to the property off and went to the hardware store. I found a replacement $22 Lawn Genie valve (which was cheaper than buying the "innards" individually) and off back home to follow the steps outlined in your video. Bingo! It did the trick for this single 73 yr old woman (if I can do it, everyone can!) who avoided paying some guy $250 to resolve the issue. Yes, please, post like this!

Genius… hopefully I can find the same valve that is faulty!! This is so much better than cutting the pipe!!! Thank you!!

Replacement parts are available for many major brands, but buying the entire valve means you have all the parts not knowing which one(s) you might need in the future. Me, I simply buy an extra diaphragm and solenoid which are much cheaper and if the valve/ tops end up cracking, then I simply buy a new valve if that ever happens. Either way you cannot go wrong.

Too simple.. I don't remember what kind of valves I have though, Rain bird or Orbit. WiFi timer looks awesome!

Thanks for watching! Yes, the WiFi timer has changed my life. To be able to start and stop the stations without running back and forth to the garage has been clutch.

Do you need to shut off the main water line before you remove those top parts ?

smart! The rub is finding the exact valve that went bad.

Where do you find those valves?
@averagejoesjimshomeprojects 11 ай бұрын
Hi! Those are Rainbird valves. You can buy them at Rainbird.com in their online store. I have found that other brand valves can also be repaired in the same way as long as the replacement top is the same model as the bottom. Happy fixing and good fortune in your repair!

How do you know when you need to cut and replace the whole part?
@averagejoesjimshomeprojects 11 ай бұрын
If you’ve got a cracked lower valve, it’s probably a good time to replace the whole thing. However, you may be able to fill the crack with super glue or epoxy. Just depends on the leak. Good luck!👍🏻

@@averagejoesjimshomeprojects it’s leaking a lot from the bottom part of the valve when I turn it on. I was hoping to just replace the diaphragm but sounds like I have to replace the valve.

So, why don't they sell just the parts that wear out? Oh....$$$$$$$
@asusreviews 3 жыл бұрын
They do at a local irrigation supply house near you. You can buy the diaphragms and selenide valves, which are usually the only 2 wear items.
@confusedcynic9073 2 жыл бұрын
They do, but they are about the same price as a whole new valve.
