2 work fine so far, the other 2 have leaks
I replaced a valve bank of Toro valves because I trenched my yard when I put the sewer in and it destroyed my sprinkler system.
I had bought a few of the Orbit sprinkler heads and they worked well so I figured I'd give their system a shot. Assembly was pretty easy, just make sure you wrap the caps for the unused valve inputs 7-8 times in teflon or they leak. I'm not sure if this is a common practice but it did finally do the trick.
Long story short, they seem to work ok, but two of them leak, one around the flow control and another at the actual gasket of the valve body. Needless to say those two are going back to Home Depot, I need to get another valve and 2-port manifold anyway to go from 4 to 5 circuits. The whole system is pretty slick, and can be put together quick, I just wish the valves didn't drip. Good thing it's all modular and you can pull it apart easily.
This is kind of troubling though, wouldn't they test these under pressure before...

Great valves!
I have used these same valves for 15 years now. I have a 12 zone system and I just now had to replace a few. They use to have them at Lowes but not anymore. I will continue to use these as long as I can buy them!
