Good design but needs more durable rubber washer in the check valve
Pros
1. Excellent design feature - has a built-in union that allows the valve to split in the middle. The valve can then be easily removed from the pipes for servicing. Each half simply spins off the corresponding inlet or outlet pipe.
2. The solenoids that operate the valve have proven durable.
Cons
1. Unfortunately, the rubber washer that is part of the check valve in the backflow preventer has not proven durable on half of the Toro valves that I'm using. The rubber washer ends up cracking/splitting and then allows significant water to flow past the check valve when the unit is operating. This results in water flooding the area around the valve instead of going to the sprinklers. The rubber washer looks like a common size but when I get what looks like an identical washer at a local plumbing shop and install it (very easy to do, by the way), the leak still occurs. I haven't called Toro for the exact replacement part which I'm sure...

Toro 53763 Sprinkler Valve
I purchased this valve for parts. My sprinkler system is about 7 years old and 1 valve failed. Toro doesn't sell the part I needed, so this was the easy fix. Part was just what I needed and fixed the problem in 5 minutes. I also have other spare parts if another fails. Shipping was quick and free, which made it even better. Over all the valve works as promised. I just wish Toro sold all the internal parts, so I wouldn't have to spend $15 to fix a part that would cost 50 cents.
