FAQs for Irritrol Valves

What does an irrigation valve do?

An irrigation valve controls when and where water flows through your sprinkler system. It opens and closes based on the system's control signal or manual operation, directing water to specific irrigation zones.

What types of Irritrol valves are available?

Irritrol offers several valve configurations, including inline, angle, globe, and anti-siphon valves. Options also vary by connection type, size, flow-control features, and intended installation.

What is the difference between an inline and angle valve?

An inline valve has water connections that generally run in a straight line through the valve, while an angle valve changes the direction of the water flow. The right choice depends on your system layout and available installation space.

Do Irritrol valves come with flow control?

Many Irritrol valve configurations are available with flow control. This feature allows you to adjust the amount of water passing through the valve, which can help fine-tune flow for individual irrigation zones.

What water pressure can Irritrol valves handle?

Most Irritrol valves have a pressure range that reaches up to about 150 PSI. This includes many of the valves available at Sprinkler Warehouse, including both inline and anti-siphon valves. We encourage you to review the specifications for your preferred valve before making a purchase.

Can Irritrol valves be used for drip irrigation?

Many Irritrol valves can be used in drip irrigation systems, as long as the valve is compatible with the system’s pressure requirements. Drip systems typically operate at lower pressure than a traditional sprinkler system, so a pressure regulator and filter are often installed downstream to protect the emitters. It’s also important to confirm that the valve can operate reliably at the system’s relatively low flow rate, especially on small drip zones.

How do I choose the right irrigation valve?

Choose a valve based on your system's pipe size, connection type, installation layout, flow requirements, and whether you need features such as flow control or backflow protection. Matching these specifications to your existing irrigation system helps ensure proper fit and reliable operation.
