Good valve, good product, good price
I had a box with a number of these valves that had failed after many years. These are great because you can just unscrew jar head top from the old value, take the top from the new valve, replace in the old body, and plug in the connector. Instant new valve without having to dig up the whole manifold! I especially like the Snap-Wire connector.

Orbit MALE CONNECTION Valve
After looking at all the hardware stores, and shopping Home Depot and Lowes without success, the Home Depot rep found the right valve on Amazon. I was frustrated after first installing it, as the water turned OFF when the 24 volts was supplied ... and turned ON when there was NO voltage, neutral/common state (A Backwards Condition). I thought I got the wrong valve. I Finally got Orbit Technical service on the phone after three attempts- each a 20 minute wait. THEN the young snot nosed green-eared rep. told me the ONLY way my symptom would happen was, " You have the valve installed backwards... "arrow towards the intake manifold"! No Way!.. I was careful when installing it, well atleast until the o-ring dropped, and I had to put the valve down. Sure enough- I reversed the direction of the valve when I picked it up the second time! NOW IT WORKS GREAT !! (Only wish this symptom was published as a caution in their instructions- could have saved a lot of frustration).
It fits *and* works !
Great replacement valve for those pre-packaged manifolds sold by Home Depot, given that HD does not carry any replacement parts. We have an extensive irrigation system, and these valves fail every 3-4 years, so finding replacements is vital. This one fit exactly, and worked like a charm. FYI for DIYers, dig out a couple of inches deeper below the valve area, so that you can clean the upstream threads out before installing this valve without getting blowback mud into the pipe - that cuts down on leaks.
