Valve Actuators

Valve actuators convert manual valves to automatic valves. By converting a power source into mechanical motion, you can remotely control the valve's position. With sprinkler valve actuators installed, you can automate your irrigation system, greatly speeding up the watering process. Shop for 3/4 inch and 1-inch actuators from Sprinkler Warehouse.

What Is a Valve Actuator?

A sprinkler valve actuator is a device that automates the opening and closing of manual irrigation valves. These devices are widely used for residential systems, commercial landscapes, and agricultural irrigation. Instead of having to turn the valve on or off by hand, the actuator responds to signals from a sprinkler controller to control water flow automatically. This lets you manage watering for different zones effortlessly, without needing to operate each valve manually every time.

Valve Actuator FAQs

Can I add a valve actuator to an existing manual valve?

Yes, many valve actuators are made to fit standard manual irrigation valves, allowing you to automate your system without replacing the entire valve assembly. Just make sure that your preferred actuator is compatible with your valve.

Can I install a sprinkler valve actuator by myself?

If you have basic DIY skills and some familiarity with your irrigation system, you should be able to install a sprinkler actuator by yourself. The process mostly revolves around mounting the actuator onto the existing valve and connecting it to your irrigation controller. If you’re familiar with basic wiring and plumbing, you shouldn't have a problem.

Are valve actuators compatible with smart irrigation controllers?

Yes, in fact, many sprinkler valve actuators are designed for them. Controllers can send low-voltage electrical signals that actuators use to open or close valves automatically. Smart controllers can even adjust watering schedules based on weather data, soil moisture, or other key signals. Just make sure that your specific actuator’s voltage and wiring requirements match your smart controller’s outputs.
